Africa-Press – Mauritius. Students of Government Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology (GIHMCT) have been selected for internship to be done in the groups of hotels abroad for the first time.

Dr Aarti Meshram, Principal of the Institute said, “We are very much delighted as our students have got an opportunity.
Over the period of years we are grooming our students in such a way that when such groups approach us, the students should do well. Almost all students were raw when they took admission to this institute.
They were not able to talk in their own language in a proper manner, forget about English. The Institute tried to put in best efforts to bring a drastic change in them.
There were 57 students in final year Diploma HMCT.
Both companies– Tamassa, a 5-star Resorts and Saffron Grill Fine Dinning approached Nagpur’s GIHMCT and put an offer to have the students as interns as their respective establishments.
Of the total students, both group selected 12 students with 3 to have internship at Tamassa 5-star Resorts and 9 to work at Saffron Grill Fine Dinning.

The Grill Fine Dinning is a huge restaurant with no arrangement for stay. Our students will surely have a great experience. Nitin Shende, who is Faculty Chef explained, “Almost all the students are from rural part.
As our Principal rightly pointed out, we groomed them so that they should acquire soft skills. When any private group comes, the students need to speak in English which is minimum requirement, we take care of such small things in our institution.
