  • A fishpond and poultry farm supporting the institute’s farm-to-fork philosophy
  • Student-led culinary activities such as bake sales, pop-up dining experiences, and food truck operations

These real-world experiences allow students to understand ingredients, sustainability, and kitchen operations from the ground up.

Student Achievements & Culinary Excellence

Vedatya students have consistently demonstrated excellence at prestigious culinary competitions both in India and internationally.

One of the most notable achievements includes Rishi Goyal winning the Indian Culinary Forum (ICF) Student Chef of the Year award in 2024, highlighting the institute’s strong culinary training and competitive spirit.

Continuing this tradition of excellence, Shresth Agrawal from Vedatya Institute was awarded the prestigious Student Chef of the Year (Male) title at the Indian Culinary Forum 22nd Annual Awards. This achievement was particularly remarkable as it marked the second consecutive year that a Vedatya student secured this honour, reflecting the institute’s commitment to culinary excellence and professional training.

Vedatya alumni are also making their mark internationally. Pallavi Barve recently won a Gold Medal at the HORECA Kuwait 2026 culinary competition, demonstrating the global impact and recognition of Vedatya-trained chefs.

These achievements showcase the institute’s focus on developing skilled, confident, and competition-ready culinary professionals.
