Raj Nongthombam..The Impactful Media Man!

"I am Raj Nongthombam, My name in the certificate is Nongthombam Raju Singh. To be very frank, I just didn't want to be merely known as RAJU or RAJU SINGH. There is nothing wrong in this name but it just didn't sound right to me. I've always wanted a strong name but was already affiliated to the real one. At the same time, I didn't want to lose the attachment I had with the original one. Thus, I modified my name from RAJU to RAJ as R-A-J. R for RAM, A for ALLAH-O-AKBAR and J for JESUS CHRIST.

For almost 10 years, I worked as a media faculty in different Mass Communication Institutes in Delhi. I started two media institutions in Delhi, INMA ( India News Media Academy) for the Hindi TV News Channel 'India News' and HIMCOM (Heritage Institute of Communication & Management) for the HIMCOM trust. Now, I am working for Impact News Manipur as an Executive Editor since its inception in 2014."
