The other day I was traveling from North to South Delhi and I couldn’t help but notice the numerous MBA coaching centres and institutes along the ring road. Observing this I was mixed with emotion thinking of the students who must have benefited, who were disappointed or felt betrayed by the institutions. No doubt management courses have been one of the most popular courses in India for the past one decade responding to the demand of the burgeoning industry and the prevailing craze for a degree that, in popular view, has glamour and prestige attached to it, and holds the prospect of attractive pay packages to boot. This is the reason why India produces the maximum MBA students and has the maximum number of institutes. There are over 1000 MBA institutes all over the country and virtually, every university and engineering college has fathered a department of management, apart from stand-alone institutes and schools. So, choosing the right institutes and specialization is a major challenge for most of the students. Given below is a list of Institutes which might be useful to those of you who are interested in pursuing Management studies.

Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. There lies its immense value. For what it seeks is to disturb monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine. Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900).
Simple Facts and Observations
Last year, TKLD publishes two issues ofKhanrin. The average printing cost is 22 rupees per copy and a copy was sold for 15 rupees; that is, for every copy sold, there is 7 rupees deficit. And since some copies are put aside and not all copies are sold, Khanrin always remains a liability. To make the publication of Khanrin break-even or self-sustaining, the ways out seem to be that of finding patrons, advertisers, or expansion of readerships. Given the quality of Khanrin and the general apathy of readers, all the possibilities seem a long-term plan. It’s hard to find patrons; harder is it to get by advertisers. And attempts to expand readerships came out to our miserable disappointment.
It is generally held that customary laws are those practices handed down to us by our forefathers. The Nagas in general subscribe to this view that customary laws are a legacy of our forefathers. Though, this view may not be totally wrong, it a field of debate in the academic circle.
The Phangrei hill, situated about 25 kms away from the Ukhrul, has been considered as an asset – a cultural heritage to be reckoned with for its scenic beauty and its strategic location which is just adjacent to the famous Shirui Hill. Its vast graze land has an enchanting beauty that has been attracting tourists and thus it has been a major site for recreation. Besides its picturesque landscape, advancement in sciences has revealed that the hill has a huge deposits of priceless minerals of which Chromite is a major component. It is used in metallurgical, refractory and chemical industries. As such, it becomes a kind of cynosure – an admixture of interest to the Tangkhul society; to some it is a fortune and to others it becomes a nightmare which constantly haunts their conscience, lest it be taken away or despoiled.
