By the nature of hospitality as a service oriented industry, its efficiency of operation as well as increase of productivity depends thoroughly on qualified and skilled manpower. In Chandigarh, lack of skilled and trained human resource is a major problem in overall department of the hotel industry. The rapid growth of Globalization and investment of foreign franchise hotel as well as internal investment on hotel industry in a luxurious standard is creating a high level of demand for qualified manpower in Chandigarh. The last five years of data's show that the number of both internal&international tourist visiting here is increasing and knows how to perform their work smoothly. Manpower means the backbone for every hotel industry. A hotel industry could not hire anyone randomly; they must first know whether the person is capable of doing the prescribed job or not, are they trained, are they have knowledge about industry, it's a long term job are they fit enough to work?; thus according to the ongoing staff must be hired. But in return is the man power getting what they deserve?
Let's review hospitality industry, here the manpower working is facing many challenges and problems; it sounds weird but it's the fact. Beside the luxurious hotels, the manpower working here couldn't even afford such service even once in their life time. The low scale of salary, heavy and intense work for long hours, dis-respect from industry as well as from guests, demanding, impatient and bossy customers, unnecessary pressure of work etc. The motive of this study is to investigate and identify the problems and the best solutions that could be made to eliminate the hindrances&positive support and collaboration between the hotel and the staffs working in hotel industry of Chandigarh.

Eastern Ladakh, India, experiences a harsh climate with temperatures dropping below zero, thus restricting agricultural activities for a short period. Therefore, the inhabitants depend completely on dairy products, packed and processed foods. Traditional farming practiced in the study region is purely indigenous and, by default, organic in nature. Therefore, the region has the potential to produce organic products under protected structures, which will be a source of income generation. The present study was conducted through frontline demonstrations at three locations, viz. Nyoma, Mudh and Tsaga in Ladakh for two consecutive years from 2019 under protected structures, viz. local greenhouse and low tunnel. A comparison of productivity levels between demonstrated variety and local checks was also made. A significant outcome was that the farmers have learned to produce quality vegetables not just to increase their income but also for nutritional security. There is a positive attitude among the locals on the importance of protected cultivation as a self-sustainable technology, nutritionally secure, and uplifting socio-economic conditions with climate-resilient features that will be a boon for this region despite extreme climatic conditions.Keywords
