Present Peethadhipathi, His Holiness Sri Sri Vishwaprasanna Theertha Swamij, who is not continuing the philanthropic services  initiated by his Guru, but also enhancing its spheres, now has wished to make this holy abode a full pledged divine centre. The following developmental works are  planned.

• The devotees from different places of our country are visiting the temple and there is a request from the devotees for setting up Guest Houses, Dhyana Kendras, Community/ Cultural Halls, full-fledged washroom facilities with all basic amenities and the Matha are intended to be taken up and to make the stay of the pilgrims comfortable, near this holy divine centre which has a serene atmosphere and surrounded by greenery.
• Lunch Prasadams are offered to the pilgrims every day and on special occasions thousands of tourists are visiting the place and they are also provided with the meal prasadams. For this a community hall is also proposed to be constructed.
• The Matha has  also proposed  to develop a well-planned garden with medicinal plants round the temple, and will be called as “Navagrahavana” and “Nakshatravana” which will add up the  sanctity to this divine abode making whole area pious with greenery.
• Even though this divine centre is surrounded by forest, the underground water source is a scarcity and are facing water problems during the summer.  The area is mainly agricultural one and residents are all agriculturists. Hence it is proposed to construct a rainwater storage lake which will protect and increase/improve the groundwater resources. It will also be helpful to maintain greenery in all the surrounding areas.
• The temple proposes to build a new chariot with intricate wooden carvings as the one available is an old one and is in a dilapidated condition.
• For preforming the  Mahaganapthi Ganahoma,  a yagashala in front of Lord Mahaganapathi is proposed to be constructed.
