Thiruvananthapuram, one State Institute of Hotel Management (SIHM) at Kozhikode
and one Food Craft Institute (FCI) at Kalamassery are functioning in the State of
Kerala.
Development and Promotion of Hospitality Education is primarily undertaken
by concerned State Government/Union Territory Administration. Ministry of
Tourism, however, provides financial assistance for setting up of new IHM/FCI
based on the proposals received from State Government/Union Territory
Administration subject to availability of funds, availability of land and inter-se-
priority after examining the proposals in terms of specific guidelines on the subject.
At present, as reported by Government of Kerala, no proposal for setting up
of new IHM/FCI in the state of Kerala is pending with the Ministry of Tourism.
