Ektanagar: External Affairs Minister and Rajya Sabha MP from Gujarat, S Jaishankar, who is on a visit to the state, inaugurated the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) Skill Centre in Ektanagar.

On the occasion, Jaishankar took to the social media platform X and said,”Delighted to participate at the inauguration of the IHCL Hospitality Skill Centre today in Ekta Nagar, Gujarat. The Statue of Unity in Ekta Nagar has emerged as a major tourist destination, with steadily growing footfalls. The construction of tourist facilities, including hotels is a natural consequence. Ensuring the skilled human resources for such facilities is now the task. So glad to see that the IHCL Centre has hit the ground running. Interacted with the first batches selected for front office and F&B training. These youth from the region have got new opportunities as a result of the Modi Government’s promotion of tourism.”
