Mr Kumar was a Guide and Mentor to the entire hospitality industry and we used to get tremendous support from him always. We don’t see many philanthropic acts in our industry nowadays, whereas during this pandemic the need for such noble initiative has arisen more. We appreciate the initiative by Shri Shivendra Kumar and his family in launching of Shri Rajindera Kumar Memorial Scholarship and we are Grateful to the Kumar Family for entrusting this responsibility to the BCIHMCT.
