India: Business school names monkey god as chairman

Hanuman, the popular Hindu monkey god revered for his strength and valour, has been named official chairman of the new Sardar Bhagat Singh College of Technology and Management in northern India, a school official said today.

The position comes with an incense-filled office, a desk and a laptop computer. Four chairs will be placed facing the empty seat reserved for the holy chairman, but all visitors must enter the office barefoot, said Vivek Kangdi, the school’s vice chairman.
