NTU alum recognised at India UK Achievers Honours ceremony
A member of NTU’s alumni community has received a prestigious award from the National Indian Students and Alumni Union UK (NISAU UK).
Gaggan Sabherwal, who studied MA Television Journalism and is now working as a senior reporter for the BBC, received the India UK Achievers Honours Award.
Supported by the UK Government’s Department for International Trade and the UK Higher Education sector, the India UK Achievers Honours recognise the achievements of young Indians who have undertaken a British programme of study and made significant contributions to their field and society.
Held in London, the ceremony also honoured the achievements of high profile figures from the world of politics, sport and entertainment.
Gaggan told us: “I had a really wonderful time studying my second Masters at NTU. I did my MA in Television Journalism here and will always be grateful to all my teachers – especially Barnie Choudhury, a former BBC journalist – who taught me TV journalism and was a friend and mentor to me during my course and even after that.”
Gaggan continued: “NTU was truly my home away from home and I met some amazing people here and made some wonderful friends. Living in the UK and studying at NTU was one of the best experiences and decisions of my life. Thank you NTU for playing such a vital role in my life and in my journalistic career.”
In addition to her recent achievement, Gaggan also won a News Reporter of the Year award in 2017. She continues to be a successful multi-platform investigative journalist, reporter, digital media producer, current affairs, and documentary filmmaker.
