SESQUICENTENNIAL HOSPITALITY AT RIZVI

‘HOSPITALITY' is an annual tradition at Rizvi and this year it was conducted as part of the ongoing sesquicentennial celebration of the University of Mumbai .

Rizvi college of Hotel Management is a premier institute, training students for a career in hotel industry. We at Rizvi firmly believe in the old age philosophy as propagated by Kautilya that -Degrees alone are not enough.

During their three years course students need to walk that extra mile to enhance their practical knowledge. In order to achieve that a lot of responsibility is shouldered by the faculty, representatives from the industry and the students themselves. The college faculty is in constant touch with the hotels to understand the industry's specific needs and the same input is passed on to the students. The students on their part do a lot of self-learning when sent for training in the hotels. It is with this compatible liaisoning that we stride forward to achieve our objective of grooming students, who then step into the world with confidence & self pride.

Hospitality is an endeavor and a step in the direction of strengthening the students and combining academics with practical knowledge. It is a forum wherein students from Catering Colleges all over India get together to participate and compete, to bring to the fore their individual skills and talent in the core areas of Hospitality Industry namely, Front Office, Food Production, Food & Beverage Service and House Keeping.
