“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instil a love of learning.” – Brad Henry

A “best” professor in a student’s life often stands out not just for their expertise, but for their ability to inspire, mentor, and change perspectives. This professor becomes a pivotal figure, shaping career paths and imparting lessons that extend far beyond the classroom. Dr Professor Ranjana Sahgal is one of the keys teacher in my life. I clearly memorize in 2024-25 when I was the 1st year in Indore School of Social work, that time I was fully motivated her teaching, explanation in both English & Hindi language. I tried to develop myself as per madam instruction. That day’s madam tried to explore the student knowledge in terms of exposure and linked with reality especially on the paper – Social Legislation and Case Work. The golden period of my life was 2005-06 when I was a 2nd year student where I got the opportunity to develop myself professionally in terms of research. Due to her continuous monitoring & support and inspiration I got the top score in dissertation paper. After completion of MSW joined into my professional career where every time I feel proud and privileged that I am student of Madam. Then in 2010 I was invited by Madan to join a Seminar on CSR at Indore where I and my wife together joined wrote a paper. The God is very kind because again I got an opportunity to meet with Madam and her Husband in 2023 at Indore. Day to day in my life her blessing is with me and with my family. I can set the following criteria on Madan why she is the best from other teachers.
