"EWDs  ARE EXCEPTIONALLY HARD WORKING"

                                  

"The Supervision required is least, once you allocated the job to them, be rest assured, it will be done. They are exceptionally hard working. Very sincere in whatever they do" opined Nayan Jyoti Chakma (31) on the five EWDs (Employees With Disabilities) working directly under him. Chakma, Assistant Manager, F&B in the Lemon Tree Premier spends most of his time in the 100 seater Multi Cuisine Coffee shop “Citrus Café”.

Raju, Sai Kumar, Kiran, Habeebuddin and Pratap are the five EWDs working closely with him. Mentoring, coaching, teaching, training these five man army on the F& B Operations has been a fulfilling thing for Chakma. Kiran can speak. All other four are Speech and Hearing Impaired. Buffet set up, Food pick up- replenishing, clearances, overall restaurant set up are the main duties allotted to them. Kiran will attend the guests, as he can speak.

"Always they listen attentively. Very rarely you will have to push them to do something" says Chakma. 

                         

Arunachal Pradesh born Chakma has an experience of around 12 years in the hotel industry. For the last four and a half years, he has been with Lemon Tree Hotels. Married to a Mizoram girl Roma Chakma. Blessed with one year old daughter Haley.
