Score One for the Monkeys

In what has to be a first for any business school, Lucknow's Sardar Bhagat Singh College of Technology and Management has selected the Hindu monkey god as its chairman.

Hanuman is extremely popular in India, where he is known for his strength and valour. He is known for his ability to lift mountains and leap oceans, but perhaps his greatest feat as a manager was in leading an army of monkeys to rescue a kidnapped princess from the demon king Ravana.

According to the Associate Press, Hanuman's new position comes complete with an office, desk, and laptop. Visitors to the office will be required to enter the office barefoot, which makes Hanuman a refreshing change from the corporate dress policies that most institutions seem to have these days.
