Renaissance College Of Hotel Management & Catering Technology

It’s often cold here in Gumanpur, especially when the fog rolls in over Dharampur Road. Our college has been sitting on this stretch of Nainital for quite a few years now. Students arrive every morning to learn about managing hotels and how a professional kitchen actually works. It isn’t a fancy or shiny place, but we have the stoves and the beds they need for their practicals. Most of the people working here grew up in these hills, so we understand the local tourism trade pretty well. When the weather gets bad, it can be a struggle for some to get to class, yet they usually make it. We show them the basics like how to properly set a table or handle guests at a front desk. There isn't much to do in the immediate area besides focus on the books, which keeps the distractions low. Our campus is small, so you end up seeing the same people every day in the corridors. It’s quiet out here most of the time. Many of the local kids are hoping to find work in the big hotels in the city or maybe move further away once they finish. We are just here to help them get started so they aren't completely lost on their first day on the job. The building itself is just okay, but it serves its purpose. We've seen plenty of classes come and go through these gates. It’s just a regular school life in the hills.
