Lord Hanuman has been appointed the official chairman of a new technology and management institute outside Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
Hanuman's idol occupies the chairman's office at the Sardar Bhagat Singh College of Technology and Management, which launches its first class in July.
The "chairman," appointed by a resolution of the college's trustees, has delegated all his powers to the college's two vice chairmen, who handle all paper work intended for Lord Hanuman, sitting adjacent to the chairman's empty chair.
Vice Chairman Vivek Kangri said: "Though the institute would be one of its kind in having the lord as the chairman, it would be run by professionals and we would ensure that our devotion does not harm the sentiments of anyone specially the students who come from a cross section of society."
"Our devotion would not be reflected in the academic atmosphere of the campus." Jai Hanuman! | |
