Mr. Debashis Chatterjee, Senior Manager, Skill Development, CSR Tata Steel called upon the students to explore options for higher studies while being in the job. �It�s good you are all set to join some of the country�s leading hotels.

You will be able to earn more and look after your families in a better way,� stressed Chatterjee.
To fulfill the demand of trained manpower in hospitality sector, Tata Steel along with Indian Hotels and PRATHAM, an NGO, has been training economically weak students for last few years.
