Welcome to SIHM, Balangir !!!
Today, the role of an Education Institution is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an ever-changing global society. More than a decade back SIHM, Balangir pledged to transform education and innovation. The Institute that is being run under the aegis of well established Management “State Institute of Hotel Management (Odisha) Society, Balangir” has earned its own niche not only in Western Odisha but across India and abroad. We provide an atmosphere to our students for multifaceted development, where students are encouraged to channelize their potential in the pursuit of excellence. This can only be possible in a holistic, student-centric environment. The talents, skills, and abilities of each student need to be identified, nurtured, and encouraged so that he / she is able to reach greater heights. Students need to be provided with a platform to think, express, and exhibit their skills. It is necessary to empower them to negotiate several issues that confront them, with the teacher being a facilitator.
The Institute is striving hard to make the best possible efforts to inculcate strong values combining with academics and extra-curricular activities in the student. Converting every individual into a self-reliant and independent citizen, the Institute provides an amalgam of academic and co-academic activities.
We are constantly improving our teaching methodology so that it turns learning into a combination of classroom study, research and new innovations.
While academic excellence is our major thrust, the Institute is also devoted to prepare the students for life, groom them to face the challenges of tomorrow, and encourage them to be socially relevant. We constantly endeavour to always live up to this ideology and inculcate this into everything we do, with the aim that we will be able to ensure that the students grow to their full potential, while constantly being groomed to pass out as men and women competent to bear responsibility in all walks of life.
The parents are the most strengthening power in moulding the future of their ward. Their consistent support empowers us to do more and more. I pay my gratitude to them for their faith in us. I am confident enough that the SIHM, Balangir will make them stronger day by day, adding a new leaf to the grandeur of the Institute.
