I was part of the hospitality training program at the Naik Foundation, Navsari center. I enjoyed watching and reading posters/frames displayed on the walls of the Foundation. Environment at the Foundation was wonderful. I gave on campus interview on completion of my course and was lucky to find a job in a reputed hotel.
