He was delivering the inaugural address at state-level seminar on "Perspectives of Human Resource Development in Hospitality Sector" organized by Moti Mahal College of Hotel Management (MMCHM) at Moti Kala Mantap, Moti Mahal College of Hotel Management Campus in the city. 

Hospitality is unique and different in its own way as students must update his or her knowledge, have positive attitude and achieving expertise should be habit. Being a part of hospitality sector one must imbibe HRD skills, he suggested.
