Aviation Studies in Hindustan Group of Institutions

The Hindustan Group of Institutions has pioneered Aviation education in India. Since 1968, the Hindustan Group of Institutions has flown from one milestone to the next, creating a niche where one never existed in aviation education. In fact, its facilities were recognized as the best aviation facilities in Asia. The high flying years have seen the Institution carve a niche where none existed in Asia and grow to become a hallmark of quality, innovation and research in aviation.

The Institution’s growth was due to its belief in providing the best quality of education that was available to their students. Another aspect that Hindustan was, and is, very firm about is the relevance of the instruction they provided. They found that the skies provided employment to more than 50,000 engineers and technicians employed in the aviation industry – airlines and organizations – worldwide.

Hindustan University has signed an MOU with Korea Aerospace University to provide summer internship to Aviation Management students at Incheon International Airport and Korean Air MRO for world class exposure.

As India leaps into becoming one of the hottest destinations for International Aviation companies, the fundamental need is to provide hands on training and education. And this is the focus of the institution.

THE Corporate Debt Restructuring CDR PROCESS

The Corporate Debt Restructuring CDR system is a three-tiered one in India. The first is the CDR Standing Forum, which includes lender and borrower representatives. It lays down policies for the process. A core group of the standing forum takes policy decisions. The second tier is the Empowered Group, made of top bank executives, which decides on individual cases and ensures policy execution.  The third is the CDR Cell. It helps the other two tiers prepare detailed rehabilitation proposals. The first step in the process consists of considering the proposal, brought to the CDR Cell by the leader in the lending consortium or the company. The process takes about 30 days, and all lenders agree to the terms. Next, the CDR Cell scrutinises the proposal, which also can take 30 days. Then there is a review presented to the Empowered Group (90-180 days). The review considers financial parameters such as return on capital and debt service coverage. Once okayed, the case goes into restructuring mode.
