education curriculum, competencies

required for global hospitality

professionals"2

Chef. K ThirugnasambanthamPrincipal, WGSHA

Dear Reader

Success is where opportunity meets hard work.

It gives me immense pleasure to share the numerous

opportunities that are offered at WGSHA. We strive our

level best to pave the way for our students to realise

their goals. Our students’ hard work and determination

are always reflected through their exemplary

performances.

Our Industry-academia interface with veterans like Mr

Visheshwar Raj Singh and Mr Ramesh Takulia really

inspired and motivated our students. Cultural festivals

are organised for providing better insight of our culture

and traditions to students.

I complement the students and urge them to continue

with their marvellous work. Never stop learning as life

doesn’t stop teaching…
