Mr. Sisodia announced that the institute will be “converted into a university that shall provide high-quality world-class courses in hospitality and tourism”.

Growth and autonomy

He added that the institute will be converted to a State university to ensure growth and autonomy. “Dreams drive us and I urge all of you to continue your great work and dream for the best for your institute and students. I assure you all the support from our end to make this into a world-class University for the hospitality industry,” said Mr. Sisodia during a visit to the institute.
