Alagappa University signs memorandum
Karakudi: Alagappa University has signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with Shevaroys Institute of Hotel Management, Yercaud,
under Public-Private Partnership (PPP).
This would facilitate the varsity to set up infrastructure and
instructional facilities for catering institute at the cost
of the private player under the Build Operate and Transfer (BOT)
basis. The plan is to offer B.Sc Catering & Hotel Administration,
3-year-diploma in Catering & Hotel Administration and one
year certificate course in Food Production, Food and Beverage
Service, Bakery and Confectionary, Front Officer Operation and
House Keeping.
After inking the agreement with R. Devadoss, Chairman of Shevaroys
Viruthambal Trust, Salem, here on Wednesday, P. Ramasamy, Vice-Chancellor,
said Alagappa University, which was already a pioneer in establishing
collaborative institutions across the country, had entered into
another era of promoting public-private partnership. The varsity
would provide land for creating the infrastructure. The trust
would construct infrastructure and run the institution for 15
years. While the university would take care of educational part
of the programmes, the trust would appoint faculty and others.
“The aim is to offer quality catering education to the
people of the region with excellent facilities. The revenue
sharing formula will be 60 percent for the university and 40
percent for the trust,” Mr. Ramasamy said.

hostel building and the programmes would be introduced from
the current academic year itself.
