Director/Principal V.M. Salgaocar Institute of International Hospitality Education (VMSIIHE)

We have created a WhatsApp group headed by our counsellors and they are in touch with the students on a regular basis. Though we have completed 90% of the teachings before the lockdown, teachers keep the students occupied with online teaching/coaching, quiz, NSS activities etc. We also have to make some modifications with the internship in India and abroad. It is a very difficult time for everyone, and it is important that our student’s safety is our priority at this moment. We will be identifying a good software for online coaching and training and all our teachers will be trained to conduct online coaching. Hospitality education consists of lectures, demos, practicals, group discussions and assignments including class presentations, theme nights, banquets, cultural nights, and mega events. The solution that we have found is only temporary and it is not an alternative option.
