FHRAI Institute of Hospitality Management was established in 1955.

The basic, solid and structural foundation of Indian hospitality lies on the Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Associations of India, the FHRAI Education Trust, and the FHRAI-Institute of Hospitality Management.

In the year 1955 the Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Associations of India was established as a national body now comprising about 3500 members, thousands of experts, specialists, senior executives, professionals and employees.

In view of the changing hospitality education at global level, after long deliberations and brain storming sessions in numbers of meetings, conferences, seminars and work shops both at private as well as government level for over more than 50 years an idea emerged in the year 2008 to bring autonomy and concentrate exclusively on hospitality education, and finally the FHRAI Education Trust was established .
