Guwahati, Nov 12: In a remarkable display of skill and determination, The Assam Royal Global University (RGU) today witnessed an extraordinary solo attempt to set a national record — the baking of 2,041 assorted millet-based cookies in a single day by one individual. The feat was accomplished by Dr. Piyush Gupta, Assistant Professor and Coordinator, Royal School of Hotel Management (RSHM).
Three gazetted officers were present throughout the event to monitor and verify the process, maintaining the official logbook, counting the cookies, and confirming the final display. The process began at 10:24 AM and continued till 1:48 Pm, for three hours and twenty-four minutes.
Speaking about his effort, Dr. Gupta said, “This attempt to create a National Record is not merely about numbers — it celebrates teamwork, precision, and passion for the culinary arts. It exemplifies how our students can transform something as simple as a cookie into a symbol of creativity, excellence, and unity.”
He further added that such initiatives inspire students to move beyond theoretical learning, encouraging them to apply scientific techniques, artistry, and sustainability in real-world culinary practice. “My inspiration comes from a strong desire to highlight the immense creativity and skill of our students from the Northeast. As the hospitality industry in the region expands rapidly, I want our students to be at the forefront of this growth — driven by innovation, discipline, and regional pride,” he stated.
The Royal School of Hotel Management at RGU continues to nurture future leaders in hospitality and culinary innovation. Dr. Gupta’s cookie marathon stands as a shining example of how small, passionate initiatives can ignite big dreams and position the North East as a vibrant hub for creative excellence.
