History

An initiative of the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India; Institute of Hotel Management, Hajipur has been in operation since 1998. It caters to not only the students of India but also international students from the SAARC countries.

It is one of 21 central Institutes directly under the control of Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India, and affiliated to National Council for Hotel Management & Catering Technology (NCHM&CT), Noida.[2] The Institute awards 3-year bachelor's degrees in Hospitality & Hotel Administration, through Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi.

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 Hajipur, will start offering a vegetarian cooking option from academic year 2018 onwards.[3][4]
