vision

Education it is said is one of the most profitable business in the world and every business house seems to be clamouring for it and succeeding in their pursuits. But have we ever stopped to wonder if theses pursuits are reaching the people who truly need it. The world is filled with forgotten corners, neglected and abandoned, hopeless and dejected, not having access to their basic needs let alone Quality Education. In the age where humanity is looking at the stars and designing the game plan to colonise mars, it comes as a surprise that some of our population lacks the access to a better world. It is in this foundation in pursuit of a better world, a well rounded growth with education in its pivot that Manipur International University (MIU) takes its first step and we plan to never stop, to change the world, to passionately work for a better future, to ensure sustainability by enveloping growth through inclusive development. MIU is the brainchild of the passionate, the hungry, the selfless and the dedicated, of concerned citizens who envision a brighter world based on ECHER, the 5 pillars of Development.

about manipur international university (miu) logo

The Logo of the Manipur International University is used by the MIU to represent the University in all of its official correspondences, certificates, website etc. The logo portrays two elephants guarding the Ashoka Chakra representing the Dharma Chakra (Wheel of Dharma; a wheel represented with 24 spokes symbolically representing the Dharma, the right way of living, cosmic law and order, four noble truths of life by Lord Buddha or simply the life) and Ancient shortened version of Pakhangbha Paphal representing the supreme God of the Meitei tradition of State of Manipur.

The logo also contains the following:

“Jnanam Anantam” a phrase in Sanskrit written in Devanagari script meaning “Knowledge is Infinite”.

“Fiat Lux” is a phrase in Latin which means “Let there be light” in English which can also be found in Rigveda and also in Book of Genesis which is part of Hebrew Bible. This word is considered divine and has exerted a powerful influence on the English poetic tradition.

“Inveniam Viam” which means “I shall find a way” in English. This is taken from the ancient latin verse “Aut inveniam viam aut faciam”; which means “I shall either find a way or make one”.

A “Trinity Knot” which is also called Triquetra is an ancient symbol known for its versatility. It represents various things in various cultures like Father, Son and Holy Spirit / Past, Present and Future / creation, innocence and wisdom/ goodness of nature as mother, maiden and crone etc. It is also believed to be symbol of luck and longevity.

Corruption of the mind corrupts the body and the soul. It is one’s lifelong battle to remain righteous and walk the path.
