Amro Institutes is one of Nashik’s oldest colleges of hotel management. With alumni across the country as well as the world, the educational institution has been producing industry leaders all across. The group of institutes that was founded in the year 2000 with Amro Tourism Academy, further branched out with Amro College of Hotel Management (2002), Amro Institute of Management (2007), Amro Junior College of Hotel Management (2013), and most recently, Amro Junior College of Arts, Science & Commerce (2017).
It was established by Founder and Chairman Rajan Soni with the aim of making international level education accessible to Indian students. Soni believed that education should be about more than just following a curriculum, and therefore all courses under any Amro banner are regularly interspersed with personality development classes, events where students take charge, industry visits, as well as guest lectures from various experts. The team at Amro strives to make each student understand their own potential and work towards becoming a better version of themselves.
The Amro College of Hotel Management, apart from the Diploma in International Hospitality Administration from AHLEI, offers a three-year B Sc (Hospitality Studies) from Savitribai Phule Pune University and a two-year Diploma in Hotel Operations from Maharashtra State Board of Skill, Vocational Education and Training.
“Excellent relations with the top hotels, vineyards, breweries and facility management companies ensure great opportunities for students of Amro. Apart from this, it pushes the students to be equipped with the right knowledge and hands-on experience through its various college activities and real world assignments,” shares Dr Rohan Soni, Principal I/C, Amro College of Hotel Management, Nashik.
The current and upcoming academic years hold a very important place for hospitality education, shares Dr Soni. “With the implementation of NEP-based syllabus and expected increased support from the Government of India for the hospitality industry, we are envisioning a rebuild of the image of the industry which saw a downward trend with the onset of the first phase of the Covid19 led lockdown. Amro Institutes is all geared up to provide a strong assistance in the same mission with a recent NAAC accreditation under its belt,” he adds.
Dr Soni adds their mission is to produce tomorrow’s hospitality management leaders who possess intellectual curiosity, an enquiring mind, a sense of creativity, a solid sense of integrity, a vision for the future and a passion for perfection. “Above all this, a better human being who aims high,” he avers.
