The air was charged with anticipation and the scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the halls of the Institute of Hotel Management (IHM) Ranchi on a day that would be marked in the annals of history. Students, under the adept guidance of their esteemed faculty, embarked on a culinary quest to etch their names in the India Book of Records.
World Tourism Day 2023 was no ordinary day for IHM Ranchi. It wasn’t just a celebration of tourism and its verdant offerings but also a day where skill, artistry, and innovation in the culinary world would be showcased. Fifty-four varieties of cookies, each infused with the health-rich Madua as the base ingredient, were prepared, highlighting not just the versatility of this nutritional powerhouse but also the culinary prowess that resided within the halls of IHM.
The feat was monumental – 54 varieties of Madua-based cookies crafted to perfection in a swift 52 minutes. Each cookie was a narrative, a story of the rich cultural and traditional cuisine of Jharkhand, encapsulating the essence of the state’s culinary heritage.
The audience, including esteemed guests like Mr. Manoj Kumar, Secretary of Tourism, Govt. of Jharkhand, and Dr. Prakrit Singh, adjudicator for the India Book of Records, were witnesses to this dance of flavors and aromas. Applauds echoed as the students showcased their artistry, each cookie a testament to extensive planning, precise execution, and the unwavering guidance of the institution’s faculty.
Mr. Manoj Kumar’s words of appreciation resonated within the walls of IHM. This wasn’t just a culinary achievement but a milestone that accentuated Jharkhand’s rich culinary tapestry on the global stage. IHM Ranchi wasn’t just an educational institution but a cradle where cuisine and culture of Jharkhand were nurtured, honed, and showcased.
Dr. Bhupesh Kumar, Principal of IHM Ranchi, with the record certificate in hand, echoed the sentiments of achievement and pride. The theme for the World Tourism Day 2023, “Tourism and Green Investment”, aligned seamlessly with IHM’s feat, marking the International Year of Millet 2023 with an accomplishment that was as green as it was innovative.
As the curtains fell on this historic day, IHM Ranchi stood not just as an institution of learning but a sanctuary where the rich, diverse, and flavorful heritage of Jharkhand was celebrated, where each cookie told a story of tradition, nutrition, and the unyielding spirit of innovation. In the dance of flavors and aromas, a narrative of Jharkhand’s culinary journey unfolded, etching IHM Ranchi’s name in golden letters in the India Book of Records.

Commune is set to elevate weekend dining with the launch of its much-anticipated Sunday Brunch series, kicking off on April 5, 2026, with a specially curated Easter edition. Envisioned as a recurring weekly experience, the brunch blends indulgent food, live entertainment, and a relaxed, social atmosphere.
The Easter launch sets the tone with a thoughtfully curated spread that balances freshness and comfort. Guests can explore a variety of salads including Mediterranean couscous and quinoa avocado, alongside small plates such as herb and cheese stuffed mushrooms and tempura vegetables. The mains bring together global and regional flavours, featuring dishes like Ratatouille vegetable steak, Thai Panang curry, Laal Maas, and slow-roasted chicken.
Enhancing the experience further are a dedicated live counter and a grazing table, offering guests an interactive and immersive way to enjoy the meal.
In keeping with the festive spirit, the dessert selection introduces playful Easter-inspired highlights. From hot cross buns pudding and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting to golden Easter eggs with mango-coconut ganache and Royal Kunafa, the menu adds a celebratory finish to the afternoon.
Beyond the food, the brunch experience is designed to encourage guests to slow down and connect. Live singing performances every Sunday add a vibrant yet easy-going energy, transforming the brunch into a leisurely social gathering rather than just a meal.
Commune’s Sunday Brunch aims to become a go-to weekend ritual, offering a space where guests can unwind, indulge, and enjoy a thoughtfully curated dining experience
