Gratitude to the Faculty of Education at SGT University: A Journey from Special Educator to Assistant Professor
My name is Tarun Pataanjali and I am a proud alumnus of the Faculty of Education of the SGT University, considered the best education university in Haryana. I started my education by enrolling in the B.Ed. Special Education (Intellectual Disability) program during the 2020-2022 session. Inspired by the exceptional learning experience at the best university for B.Ed. in Special Education, I then proceeded to get my M.Ed. Special Education (Intellectual Disability) from the same university.
Why Faculty of Education at SGT University Stands Out
The Faculty of Education at SGT University stands out as the best university for education because all the programs are professional-oriented, skill-based, and competency-based, where theory and practical and field-wise activities are conducted. The strong faculty helped to construct transformative, holistic, and value-based immersive learning to pave the way for a productive career in special education.
Innovative Pedagogy
Among the main advantages of the Faculty of Education at SGT University is the rather efficient approach to teaching and training, that focuses on creativity. The faculty of the university adheres to the principles of andragogy and heutagogy, developing a research approach with students. The practical classes are conducted as creativity-promoting experiences, and the application of ICT tools within instructions guarantees that the students have a comprehensive overview of the offered instructional technologies.
Expert Faculty and Mentorship
I would like to express my appreciation to the faculty members, particularly Dean Prof. Madhvi Sharma, H.O.D. Mr. Ravinder Saini and the rest of the team in the Intellectual Disability department. They have provided me with professional guidance as well as support, which has helped me launch a very successful career in specialties in education.

UDAAN: Empowering Extraordinary Lives
Undoubtedly, one of the most profound and promising commencements of the Faculty of Education at SGT University is UDAAN, a center that offers education and therapy to children with low abilities arising out of any type of disability—be it physical, intellectual, or multiple disability—belonging to any community. UDAAN provides services based on the child’s requirements, on a group or one-to-one basis, depending on the child’s functioning level.
The center’s vision is to regard and nurture each learner’s capacity and talents, supporting and facilitating their learning process and their experiences in life. The mission of UDAAN is to ensure that every child attains his or her full potential and gets equipped with all the life skills to enable him or her to become a productive citizen.
Some of the services offered by UDAAN are assessment and identification of all types of disabling conditions, special school, counseling sessions, occupational therapy, speech therapy, physiotherapy, play therapy, prevocational training, remedial classes and hearing assessments.
It also engages in innovative research on special education practices, which includes interventions and technologies, making the center a one-stop center for its students and aspiring educators in the field of special education.
From Student to Special Educator
When I finished my B.Ed. Special Education (Intellectual Disability) from SGT University, I obtained a place as a special educator at the best-known educational institution, Khushboo Welfare Society in Gurugram. This coursework opportunity was also a valuable experience to enable me to be exposed to an environment where the knowledge and skills learned were used directly and made a difference in society, particularly for people with special needs.
Ascending to Academia
At present, I teach as an assistant professor at the Ashtavakra Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences and Research in Rohini, Delhi. I consider this success proof that the Faculty of Education at SGT University has provided me with very solid groundwork, along with a wide and thorough educational program. The emphasis that the faculty places on interaction with enterprises, research, and social initiatives helped me develop all the proper skills and mentalities needed to succeed within the sphere of academics and in the field of special education as well.
