Kolkata: To give jobs to underprivileged youth and meet the ever-expanding manpower requirement of the hospitality industry, the Union Ministry of Tourism has tied up with a city-based private institute to offer free training programmes.
Under the 'Hunar Se Rozgar Tak' initiative, NIPS School of Hotel Management along with the India Tourism Development Corporation Ltd (ITDC) run by the Ministry of Tourism, will offer free courses to underprivileged youngsters from this year. At a function held in this regard today, state Tourism Minister Rachpal Singh said youths trained under this scheme will be absorbed in various prestigious hotel chains.
The programme is targeted at underprivileged youth who are minimum Class VIII pass within the age group of 18 to 28 years, institute officials said.
