A firm believer in building a sustainable future, Mr. Singh has written pragmatic research papers, highlighting the need for progressive and student centric educational approach and the importance of making our students environment conscious. For his continuous work in this field, he has been awarded the Honorary Diploma by the University of North Carolina, United States, for his contribution in developing Global Education Parameters. For his ongoing research in the field of special education needs, Mr. Singh has recently completed Post Graduate medical education in the field of Addictive behaviours and Autism from Harvard Medical School.
His versatile character can very well be established from his newly revamped design agency ‘Rafa Design Agency’, through which he hopes to encourage new talent. From doing solo exhibitions across the UK, Australia and India, he is now using the space for bringing out new talent and to form the critical connect between creativity and mind development.
But Mr. Karandeep is not the one to rest on his laurels. His never-say-die attitude has given shape to Kingbourne International Online School, which is helping students in the remote areas of the country to continue with their education online. He has been awarded Principal of the year three times since the last academic year and is considered amongst the top 100 effective principals of India.
Since the lockdown, Mr. Singh has launched various webinars and online educational discussions on the future of education in the world. Creating a practical model of Blended Learning, he is helping various educational institutes across the country as a senior advisor and mentor to incorporate workable methods to carry on the teaching and learning process. He has been invited to be a panelist in various online live shows to discuss the imperative importance of being ‘future ready’.
All these achievements and elements have never taken him away from his primal love for teaching and his vision to create a permanent inter-disciplinary link between classroom education and nature based learning. This prophetic vision has become more actualised within the education fraternity looking at the coming future. Bringing into fruition the concept of inter-disciplinary approach, Mr. Karandeep has designed the very popular ‘Forest Education’ curriculum, which is very meticulously in sync with the ongoing lessons in the classroom. To cite an example, what the students learn about organic manure in their science classroom, is practically remodelled by them in the organic farms. Taking it a step further, they use the manure to grow rich produce, which they nurture. All along this journey, they learn to be one with nature. When they learn where their food comes from and how to grow it, they are already one step ahead of their companions. In this world where everybody is trying to outshine others, the students under the carefully designed Forest Education’ program not only are more prepared for the future, but they are also on their way to becoming conscientious future leaders.
He would like to share one of his favourite quotes from Nelson Mandela that has a permanent imprint on his conscious and drive for life:
“There is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that’s less than the one you’re capable of living.”
