Training Programmes

Training programmes in the field of Hotel Management, Catering and Nutrition were initiated
by Government of India in the year 1962 under the Department of Food, Ministry of
Agriculture.  To begin with, four Institutes of Hotel Management, Catering Technology and
Applied Nutrition were set up at New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkatta.  For imparting
training in hospitality related craft disciplines, 12 Food Craft Institutes were also set up at
different places in the country.  Consequent to transfer of the programme to the Ministry of
Tourism in October 1982, format of the various training programmes was reoriented and
remodeled keeping in view the professional workforce requirements of the country’s fast
expanding accommodation and catering industry.  In order to harness the resources and
also to provide a central thrust to the programme, Ministry of Tourism also established the
National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology (NCHMCT) in the year
1982.  Main objectives for setting up the Council at the apex level were:

1.    To advise the Government on coordinated development of hotel management and

catering education.

2.    To collect, collate and implement international development in the area of human
resource development for the hospitality sector.

3.    To affiliate institutes and prescribe courses of study and instructions leading to
examinations conducted by it.

4.    To standardize courses and infrastructure requirements for institutes imparting

education and training in hospitality management.

5.    To prescribe educational and other qualifications, experience, etc. for members of staff
in the affiliated institutes an organize faculty development programs.

6.    To award Certificates and Diplomas in Hospitality and Hotel Administration.

As a result of vast expansion and modernization of the country’s hospitality industry, hotel
management and catering education programmes gained tremendous popularity and the
profile of students seeking admission to these courses also underwent a transformation.  As
a result, courses offered by the National Council are of international standard which have
been recognized by the hospitality industry.  At present, there are 41 Institutes of Hotel
Management comprising of 21 Central IHMs, 8 State IHMs and 12 Private IHMs and 5 Food
Craft Institutes following National Council’s course curriculum.

The National Council has its own website, which can be accessed at www.nchmct.org
INSTITUTES OF HOTEL MANAGEMENT (IHMs) / FOOD
CRAFT INSTITUTES (FCIs)

The Institute of Hotel Management, Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition are
autonomous organizations registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860
and are managed by their respective Boards of Governors. These Institutes located
at 21 places conduct various regular courses in the field of Hotel Management for
meeting the manpower needs at middle level management in the hotel industry.
The Institutes also offer short duration craft level courses. Besides, there are 8
State IHMs and 12 Private IHMs affiliated to the NCHMCT.

There are in all 5 Food Craft Institutes functioning under the State/UT

 Capacity Building for Service Providers Scheme (CBSP)

A large segment of people are involved directly and indirectly in the tourism industry.
Professional expertise is required for specialized vocations in this field.  At present there are
Food Craft Institutes (FCIs) and Institute of Hotel Management (IHMs) where technical
training is being provided to persons for the Hospitality Industry. Tourism training is being
provided by the Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management, Gwalior, its Eastern
Regional Centre at Bhubneswar, and through its various “Chapters” located at different
places in the country to persons for taking up professions in the Travel and Tourism
Industry.  The tourism service providers are both in the approved/ organized and also the
unorganized sector.  The IHMs and FCIs cater mainly to organized sector i.e. Hotels and
Restaurants.  At the same time, there are a large number of persons who are engaged in
the unorganized sector such as small hotels, road side eating places, ticketing/ travel
agencies, dhabas etc.

There is a segment of tourism service providers who are engaged in other professions but
come in contact with the tourist.  These persons, such as  staff at bus/ railway  stations,
police personnel, immigration staff at airports, coolies, taxi/ coach drivers, staff at
monuments, guides etc.

The tourists come in contact with various service providers and it is this experience they
have while interacting with the cutting edge governs their experience of India as a tourist
destination.   It was therefore felt necessary that this large number of service providers are
given certain inputs which can improve their behavior and service levels. Therefore a
Scheme was formulated wherein these service providers in the unorganized sector are given
some inputs so as to upgrade their behavior and service skills.

Some of the important areas being covered under the training include Health & Personal
Hygiene, Cleanliness, Basic Service techniques, Cooking Techniques, Garbage Disposal,
Etiquette and basic manners, basic nutrition  values.  Energy saving and  basic tourism
awareness, Communication skills, Behaviour Skills, First Aid,  Client Handling & Behaviour
Skills etc.are also covered in the training programmes. The duration of the course ranges
from 4 days to 6 days.

The implementing agencies have been given flexibility in devising the training programmes/
modules. However, general parameters have been fixed.

Under this scheme the institutions are conducting Training using their own infrastructures in
their own premises or are providing the training at site of the service providers.   In the case
of IHMs and FCIs the Faculty and students are being used widely.   A large number of the
Service providers are located around the tourist sites and therefore such persons have to be
trained at their place of work. The guidelines for “Capacity Building for Service Providers”
scheme include the following training programmes:
