Arunachal Pradesh Home Stay Training Program
In September 2023, IIFL Foundation, in collaboration with the National Cadet Corps (NCC) under the Ministry of Defense, REACHA, and with the support of Lohitpur Brigade and Dao Division, launched the first-ever ‘Home Stay Training Program’ in Arunachal Pradesh. Launched at Indira Gandhi Government College (IGGC) in Tezu, this initiative aimed to empower 160 underprivileged youth over the course of 12 months by providing them with comprehensive training in home stay hospitality. The curriculum focused not only on technical skills but also on essential soft skills such as communication, grooming, and computer proficiency. The success of this program is reflected in the achievements of six students from the first batch, who have secured placements at Sterling Hotels in Manali, Mussoorie, and Darjeeling. This milestone represents a meaningful contribution to regional prosperity and the empowerment of local youth.
