The most dynamic and fast-growing association of housekeepers in India, I-Professional Housekeepers’ Association, set a new chapter with the IPHA awards. It was a moment of pride and honour for the Legends to be among the three generations of housekeepers – students, active housekeepers and retired housekeepers.
Praising the activities of IPHA and contribution to housekeeping, recipients of Living Legend Awards – Darshan Singh, Former Director of Housekeeping Oberoi hotels and General Manager Housekeeping Leela Hotels; Villie Benjamin, Former Head of Administration of Reliance Corporate Head office; and Neela Rege, Former Sr. Corporate Manager- Housekeeping, Indian Hotels Company, The Taj Mahal Hotel – regretted that housekeeping was never among the top choices of pursuing a career and sadly nothing much has changed even today.
IPHA has taken up task of changing the perception about housekeeping right at the grassroots level.
