A need was felt to create a facility at Tirumala exclusively for them to stay in a neat and comfortable environment. The idea of constructing Tirumala Tirupati Sainik Niwas (TTSN) was thus conceived in Jul 2002. With concerted efforts 6600 Sq ft of land was taken on lease from Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). The construction of TTSN started in 2002 and was completed in May 2010. The TTSN has been constructed close to the temple premises and offers a comfortable stay at very reasonable rates.
