Jalandhar, April 18, 2025: The CT Institute of Hospitality Management (CTIHM), Shahpur Campus, witnessed a moment of pride and creativity as its students attempted to set a Limca Book of Records entry by crafting 152 unique napkin folds. This ambitious effort highlighted the students’ innovation, attention to detail, and mastery of table presentation—an essential skill in the hospitality industry.

The event was the culmination of nearly three months of rigorous planning and hands-on training.
