ABOUT MANDARIN VILLAGE RESORT

       The proprietor of the resort Mrs. Swarnim Gurung, after availing voluntary retirement from the  government service, decided to run a resort in her own village at Kaluk, West Sikkim with a very new and unique concept and with the target to ;-

1.

Cater the services of all sections of the tourist specially belonging to those Indian middle class family  who cannot afford to stay in a high budget hotels and resorts.

2.

Provide employment opportunities to the school dropout children of poor families of the neighboring villages. 

       After three years of research and study on different kinds of hotels and resorts management and the induction of newly innovated ideas and concepts evolved through the research, now this village resort totally stand out very unique and different than others.
The poverty stricken poor school dropout boys and girls who had never been trained for any kind of works for the hotel management were selected out from the remote villages and given in-house training by Mrs. Swarnim Gurung for cooking, services, house keeping, hygiene, hospitality, cultural programme, catering, child care etc. for almost one year. These boys and girls are now being engaged in this resort on profit sharing basis and not in the traditional salary system. 30% of the total income of the resort is shared by them whereas 70% is set aside for investment and repayment of loans. To enhance the further source of income for those boys and girls besides the shares that they get from resort income, they are also trained by Miss Yashi Taj Gurung daughter of Mrs. Swarnim Gurung, for local cultural dances for entertaining the guest in the evening.  The collections that they get from cultural programmes and tips are also equally shared by them.
Therefore in true sense they have been made the business partners in this resort by Mrs. Gurung so that they develop a sense of belonging and work with more enthusiasm and responsibility for their prosperity. They have been given homely and family atmosphere by Mrs. Gurung and they together proudly call
themselves as “Mandarin family.”
