Modern Law College Educator Honoured with Global Teacher Award 2025
A proud moment for Pune’s academic community has arrived as Dr Deepti Bhargava, an Assistant Professor at Progressive Education Society’s Modern Law College, has been honoured with the Global Teacher Award 2025. The recognition came at the AKS Global Education Fest 2025, held in New Delhi on November 29, 2025, where educators from across more than five countries gathered to celebrate excellence in teaching.
The award recognises exceptional teachers who have demonstrated a deep commitment to education, innovative teaching approaches, and contributions that extend beyond the classroom to impact the broader academic and social environment.
Celebrating a Global Achievement
The Global Teacher Award received by Dr Bhargava is part of a broader effort to spotlight outstanding educators whose impact resonates both locally and internationally. While several global awards for educators exist, such as the well-known Global Teacher Prize the version conferred at the AKS Global Education Fest acknowledges a wide range of achievements in education innovation, leadership, and community engagement.
At the event in New Delhi, educators were recognised for their ability to inspire students, foster inclusive learning environments, and support academic growth through exemplary teaching methods. Dr Bhargava’s recognition reflects her dedication to legal education and her role in preparing students for professional success.
A Proud Moment for Modern Law College and Pune
Modern Law College in Pune has long been known for its focus on quality legal education and emphasis on practical learning. Dr Deepti Bhargava’s achievement adds a global milestone to the institution’s growing reputation. Her work at the college has been noted for blending academic rigour with an emphasis on real-world legal understanding, helping students build confidence and analytical skills.
College administrators and faculty members expressed their pride in Dr Bhargava’s accomplishment, noting that her global recognition brings honour not only to the institution but also to Pune’s educational landscape. Students and alumni have celebrated the announcement, highlighting how her mentorship has influenced their academic and professional journeys.
Impact Beyond the Classroom
Teachers who receive international recognition often do so because their influence extends into community engagement, curriculum development, and leadership roles that shape the broader educational experience. Dr Bhargava’s award shines a spotlight on her role in encouraging young minds to think critically about law and justice while nurturing a supportive learning environment.
Her achievement contributes to a growing conversation about the importance of recognising educators at national and global levels, a theme underscored each year on World Teachers’ Day, observed globally on October 5, which honours the profession and highlights the role of teachers in shaping society.
Messages from the Academic Community
Following the announcement, students, colleagues, and local academic leaders took to social media and campus forums to congratulate Dr Bhargava. Many highlighted her passion for teaching, her engagement with students both inside and outside the classroom, and her efforts to bring contemporary legal discussions into academic discourse.
Peers also noted that such recognition fosters a culture of excellence within educational institutions, motivating other educators to strive for innovative and impactful teaching practices.
What This Means for Pune’s Education Sector
Pune has long been regarded as a centre of academic excellence, with a rich tradition of colleges and universities contributing to diverse fields of study. Recognition at a global level further elevates the city’s status in higher education and underscores the importance of strong academic leadership.
Dr Bhargava’s award serves as an inspiration not just for law students but for educators across disciplines, reminding communities that teachers’ work can reach far beyond local classrooms and can be celebrated alongside international peers.
Looking Forward
As Dr Deepti Bhargava returns to Pune with her Global Teacher Award, the focus shifts to the ripple effects of this recognition from student motivation to institutional pride. Modern Law College is expected to highlight this achievement in future academic initiatives, and the recognition may open doors for further collaborations, conferences, and educational projects that advance teaching and learning outcomes.
