HATIM is a premier center of Higher Education, where quality education based on Christian values and English-speaking culture is emphasised. It strives to bring some of the finest committed scholars from all over the country and beyond, to teach and guide students in their academic pursuits for excellence and Christian commitment.

The seed for a Christian Institute for Higher and Technical Education had been planted in the hearts of the Baptist Church of Mizoram (BCM) leadership for a long time since the BCM has been pioneering elementary to higher education in Mizoram since the advent of the Gospel in Mizoram.  It began to take shape in 2005 with a proper write-up which resulted in a resolution passed in the 110th Assembly of the BCM in March, 2006. There were two main reasons – first, there was a dearth of Residential Institutes offering Graduate level courseswith special emphasis on English-speaking skills and Christian values. Second, to provide a viable and affordable alternative to Graduate level courses in Mizoram since most Mizo parents invest a huge amount of money for their children’s higher education outside Mizoram often with great reluctance as admission in reputed institutes is often inaccessible.
