Vegetarian Option
In 2016, three IHMCTANs - Ahmedabad, Bhopal and Jaipur - started giving a student the option to choose only vegetarian cooking. Earlier, it was compulsory for all IHMCTAN students to learn non-vegetarian cooking. This decision to offer a vegetarian option by IHMCTANs may be the first amongst any of the hospitality training institutes of the world. It is expected that all IHMCTANs will start offering a vegetarian cooking option from academic year 2017 onwards. IHMCTAN at Pusa had already been experimenting with vegan cooking through "vegan months" and sustainability practices such as rainwater harvesting.
