Activities

Training is an instrument to help the organization meet the twin challenges of continuous improvement and demands of change. It is necessary to recognize the changing role of our faculty – from being mere providers to facilitators, where the training need of the learner or student is the focus of attention. This is a short, intensive course with plenty of activity. Emphasis is on practice within groups where participants will be encouraged to share their learning experiences with others and to give and receive support and feedback. Because the course is intensive and includes evening preparation, it is planned as a residential program. To obtain maximum benefit from the course, we require that participants devote their full attention and time to course activities. Through the training program we expect to provide opportunities for the development of basic instructional skills for participating faculty who will also learn on how to create and manage a learning environment.

The art and skill of baking remains a fundamental one and important for nutrition, as baked goods, especially breads, are a common food, economically and culturally important. Freshness is such an important quality that restaurants, although they are commercial, bake their own products for their customers.

New technologies have been introduced in this area which requires our attention. The training program will involve demonstrations by the best chefs.

The work usually involves assisting in managing the office efficiently through managing office equipment and establishment. Staff must possess computer skills, strong written and oral skills. Specific qualifications are usually not necessary but specilisation in any office procedure comes handy. Other attributes sought are good interpersonal skills, a well-presented appearance and an organised disposition. As the job holder may be required to deal with customers, they will be expected to represent the organisation positively. The training program will prepare staff members in proper filing and record management, information retrieval and presentation of files, PUCs and all paper work. 

Five regional cuisines would be demonstrated for two different sets of participants. Two persons from the identified institute can be deputed who would do the mise en place and demonstration.

Institutes may decide the list of items (at least 10/12) that would be prepared conforming to six (06) portions each for tasting by about 30 participants. Each demonstration would be followed by a well researched presentation which will highlight the cuisines philosophy, history, cultural background, pots and pans, customs, spices, ingredients, etc. The objective of the demonstrations is to document and preserve authentic regional cuisines of India as taught at our IHMs.

It is felt that interpretation, application and implementation of Government policies and schemes along with effective mobilization of resources will result in achievement of common goals and objectives for an institute. It has however been observed that institutes/organizations receiving grants-in-aid from Government or otherwise are not presenting their accounts in any set standard and is not in keeping with the requirements of transparency and exposure of professional skill of their organizations. They do not give a lucid presentation of their accounts and large number of items of accounts of such institutes generally remain incomplete, unscrutinised and in arrears for several years. Thus a format prescribing standard norms of accounts for all Central autonomous institutions needs to be adopted and followed.
