Port Blair, July 27: The Defence Wives Welfare Association (DWWA) in association with ANIIDCO organized a Hospitality Management workshop from July 20-24, 2016 which was inaugurated by Smt Seema Verma, President DWWA and Ms Ankita Mishra Bundela, MD, ANIIDCO at Megapode Resort.
“This collaboration between DWWA and ANIIDCO will make up for the deficiency of expertise on the islands by using the skills and experience of the Defence Wives,” said Smt Seema Verma.
