Earlier with the consent of local public and willingness of devotees of Shivkhori, Baba Rameshwar Giri was appointed as Mohatum (Manager) of Shivkhori Cave who was performing ‘pooja’ at the cave. On 31st May 1991, the right of Mohatum was withdrawn from Rameshwar Giri and ‘Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board Katra’ (SMVDSB) was appointed as Mohatum in his place by order of Deputy Commissioner Udhampur vide no:- 535/SQ dated 31-05-1991 and mutation bearing number 803 dated 29-07-1991 attested by Tehsildar Reasi. Accordingly, the management and control of SSKSB and endowment came to the SMVDSB Katra since 1991. However, due to legal dispute between SMVDSB & Rameshwar Giri, SMVDSB could not establish effective control over the affairs of Shri Shivkhori Shrine. The take over of SSKSB was necessitated considering the poor state of things and providing of facilities to the pilgrims.

Ever since the takeover, the Shrine Board is continuously striving hard to develop high-level infrastructure and facilities for the visiting pilgrims to make the yatra a memorable and satisfying period. Due to the efforts of Shrine Board, the number of devotees visiting the holy Shrine has increased tremendously.

Shri Shivkhori Shrine Board has created various types of facilities like water supply, sanitation, electric supply and public conveniences etc for the Pilgrims. It has also employed persons for sanitation and management of Shrine area. It is also coordinating the efforts of various departments for creating yatra facilities.
