This alliance will help young minds expand their horizon and give them the freedom to innovate and create new products, which is the need of the hour in the hospitality industry. 

According to research done by the ministry of tourism, our industry is in dire need of chefs that are well versed with vegetarian cuisine. With this partnership with GVR, we are definite that moving forward, we can enhance our curriculum by digging deep into the micro cuisines of India and strengthening our position as a leading hospitality institute”.
