Vegetarian Option
In 2016, a few of the IHMCTANs (Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Jaipur) started giving a hotel management student the option to choose only vegetarian cooking. This decision to offer a vegetarian option by IHMCTANs could possibly be the first amongst any of the hospitality training institutes of the world. It is expected that all IHMCTANs, including IHMCTAN Faridabad, will start offering a vegetarian cooking option from academic year 2018 onwards.[1][2][3]
