Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMarch 30, 2022

The Department of Doctoral Studies and Research, Martin Luther Christian University (MLCU) hosted the release of a book entitled Imbibing Traditional Values for Peace in the Contemporary Khasi Society written by Banpyrkhat Nongrang, a PhD scholar of MLCU on Thursday at its premises.

It may be noted that this book is an outcome of Nongrang’s dissertation work which he completed during his Master’s programme in Conflict Management and Peace Initiatives in MLCU.

Dr CJ Thomas, former Deputy Director ICSSR NERC (Indian Council of Social Science Research North Eastern Regional Centre), released the book.

He reminded the audience that one must be a compulsive writer and not just compulsive reader as individuals in academics. He further added that a book as understood has a wider reach to general public and is an appropriate means to disseminate the outcome of a dissertation work.

MLCU Chancellor Dr Glenn Kharkongor said that many a times scholars and academicians have self-doubt and the publication of this book by a research scholar is encouraging as it translates the research work carried out into something more concrete and is available to the public at large. The programme was also graced by the VC Dr TK Kharbamon, the Registrar Dr Iwamon Laloo, Dean Research, Deans of the university, faculty members and students. The welcome song performed by the students of Department of Music, MLCU added colours to the programme.
