Budget of ₹841 crore for fiscal 2021-22
The managing committee of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church on Thursday approved a budget of ₹841 crore under various schedules for the fiscal 2021-22.
The budget, presented by association secretary Biju Oommen at an online meeting presided over by Baselios Mar Thoma Paulose II, gives thrust to projects for ecological conservation, waste management, and financial assistance to church members.
The meeting also decided to inaugurate the year-long platinum jubilee of the canonisation of Mar Gregorious of Parumala and Mar Baselios Yeldho of Kothamanglam in November this year.

Bishops Geevarghese Mar Yulios, the metropolitan in charge of Ahmedabad diocese, said after the meeting that the discussions were not about electoral politics but on the feud between the Orthodox and the Jacobite factions of the Malankkara church.
Mar Yulios was accompanied by Yakoob Mar Irenaios of the Kochi diocese. The duo had called on Muslim League leaders at Panakkad in January.
“The meeting was related to the nation, not politics. A verdict of the apex court of the nation has not yet been executed in Kerala. Not only that, there is a doubt now whether the state government would act against the verdict. Moreover, some people are conducting rallies and meetings to abuse the Orthodox Church. So, we are on a mission to communicate with other organisations about the truth behind the issue. The meetings with RSS as well as the League were held in this context,” said Mar Yulios.
