MOT to increase capacity for training students in skill-based courses to meet demand in the hospitality sector

Speaking about bridging the gap in terms of skilled labour in the hospitality sector, Dr Sagnik Chowdhury, Deputy Director General & Regional Director (West & Central India) at Ministry of Tourism say, “The Ministry runs 21 central institutes of hotel management across the country and there are a number of state institutes of hotel management. The skilled manpower requirement is expected to be plugged by students who undertake diploma courses, craft courses, certificate courses. We are planning to increase our capacity of training students for even these skill-based courses so that the growing demand for skilled manpower is met.”
