Staff quarters, IHMCTAN

Being the parent Institute, IHM Mumbai became the Father and Mother of hospitality education in India, causing other such Institutes to spring up in other parts of the country. In 1963 three more Regional Institutes were established in New Delhi, Calcutta and Chennai. The first Food Craft Institute was opened in Kalamassery. Later eight more Institutes and Food Craft Institutes were opened in eight states. Most Food Craft Institutes were upgraded in 1982-83. Today there are 21 Institute of Hotel Management affiliated to the National Council for the Hotel Management & Catering Technology, New Delhi. Since the demand went on increasing and the supply fell short there has been a mushrooming of several private colleges offering Diplomas/Degrees in hospitality education in several parts of the country. This has led to unplanned growth and a lack of infrastructure. Such unregulated growth could have a negative impact with poorly trained students flooding the job market. From meager number of 6 students in 1954 the number of graduates emerging from the Institutes today amount to about 2000 from 25000 applicants representing four decades of Catering Education in India.
