What will be the vision during your tenure as President of HRANI? My vision is to put together conclaves in major cities of all nine Northern States. I believe that conclaves play an important role in giving due recognition to the Hospitality Industry. It is also a platform to highlight latest trends and techniques, potential and key developments of the sector. Also it provides an opportunity to all stakeholders to deliberate on policy matters including concerns of the industry in partnership with the government and other trade bodies. Besides that, we have been working in partnership with FSSAI, HRANI has been awarded as early adopters of the FOSTAC programmes. The association has been involved in conducting a series of FOSTAC sessions since we have been empanelled with FSSAI. We will continue to facilitate our members by conducting more sessions and would like to go to tier 2 and 3 cities of nine states to spread awareness on the subject. We have already planned a FOSTAC programme in New Delhi on October 20th, 2018. We are also planning another session in Jaipur soon. In my tenure, as president we will work on areas such as increased Government Interaction, Membership Growth, Skill Development, Environment Sustainability, Brand Building, Knowledge Drive through workshops, as well as seminars. | ||
