As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming budget, the hospitality sector, a cornerstone of our country’s economic and cultural identity, has faced unprecedented challenges in recent times. We sincerely hope that the government to recognize the pivotal role our industry plays in driving tourism and creating employment opportunities.

A judicious allocation of funds toward skill development programs, technological advancements, and enhancement of infrastructure for hospitality education is paramount. This will empower our institute and other institutions to produce industry-ready professionals and foster innovation and global competitiveness.

Furthermore, we encourage the government to consider incentivizing collaborations between academia and the hospitality sector for research and experiential learning initiatives. This synergistic approach can elevate the quality of education and address the evolving needs of the industry.
