There are plans to start a Kingfisher University which will cater to the needs of the service industry. The university will offer a full time MBA course in aviation and also some courses in hospitality and retail management.<br \/>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The process has begun to start a university, but it will take another three years to start the activities,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Kunal Vasudeva, project head, Kingfisher Training Academy.<br \/>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We have started the training academy as a first step. Our ultimate aim is to create an IIM of the service industry,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Rita Gupta, brand adviser of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingfishertrainingacademy.com\/\">kingfisher training academy<\/a>. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The courses which we now run are certificate courses; but there is a real need to have management degree courses in the service sector. We are definitely looking at to start such courses in aviation, retail and hospitality industry,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The other advantage is, we are in the industry and we know its needs. Accordingly, we can be able to design the courses,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said.<br \/>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153As of now there are four universities in the world which offer MBA course in aviation. These four universities are in the UK, the US, Australia and Dubai. The courses offered are very expensive. When we start our course, we will try to keep the fee structure such that it will be in the reach of common students,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Vasudeva.<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 0, 0);\">14\/02\/08 Pune Newsline<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pune: Kingfisher Airlines is planning to leap into the education sector.
