Monkey God Named Chairman of School

Visit India : Hanuman Named Chairman of Business School

Hanuman the Hindu monkey god has been chosen as Chairman of the Sardar Bhagat Singh College of Technology and Management, an Indian business school in northern India.

Hanuman is known for his strength and bravery. In the college he will get his own office and incense, a desk and a laptop computer. There will be 4 chairs before the empty seat set aside for Chairman and visitors must remove their shoes before entering the office.

Vivek Kangdi, Vice-Chairman of the company says "It is our belief that any job that has the blessings of Lord Hanuman is bound to be a success."

Hanuman is well-know to Hindus for his ability to lift mountains and leap across oceans, but his business acumen is not specifically one of his attributes.

"When we were looking for a chairman for our institution, we scanned many big names in the field of technology and management. Ultimately, we settled for Lord Hanuman, as none was bigger than him," Kangdi said.

Hanuman is a very popular god for Hindus who have a vast number of gods to choose from. He is famous for leading a monkey army to assist Lord Rama and rescue a kidnapped princess from demon King Ravana .

The Sardar Bhagat Singh College is located in Lucknow, and awards bachelor's degrees in engineering and management.
