TTD employs about 16,000 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=TTD - Overview )〕
==Establishment and legislative setting==
TTD was established in 1932 as a result of the TTD Act of 1932. According to the Act, administration of the temple was vested to a committee of seven members and overseen by a paid Commissioner appointed by the Madras Government. Advising the committee were two advisory councils – one composed of priests and temple administrators to aid the committee with the operations of the Tirumala temple and another composed of farmers for advise on Tirumala's land and estate transactions.
The Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institution and Endowments Act (1969) sections 85 to 91 expanded the provisions of TTD. The number of trustees was expanded from five to eleven with compulsory representation from certain communities. Apart from the responsibilities defined in the previous act, Devasthanam was obliged to promote study of Indian languages, operate Sri Venkateswara University in Tirupati and propagate Hindu Dharma by research, teaching, training and literature creation.〔
The A.P. Charitable & Hindu Religious Institutions & Endowments Act (1987) superseded the 1979 Act. The Board of Trustees membership was expanded from a maximum of eleven to fifteen and abolished the hereditary rights of temple priests and right to garner a share of the hundi proceeds. After increased pressure from the priests over a long period, the AP government made an amendment to the Act in 2006, to discontinue these two controversial clauses. It is mandatory for non-Hindus to sign a declaration form before entering the hill temple, stating that they have faith in the presiding deity, Lord Venkateswara.
