Institute of Hotel Management (IHM) Srinagar has restarted its tourism course after a gap of nearly one year following the Covid-19 induced shutdown. “The tourism course needs practical learning and the same was impossible during the online classes. It is good to meet friends and teachers face-to-face,” Malika, a student at IHM told ANI. Qazi Shabir Ahmad, the Principal of the IHM said, “Online classes are not as impactful as offline classes. The students were asked to present a Covid-negative report before joining the institute,” he said.
