Saraswati Group started as Saraswati Dental College in the year 1998 and has seen tremendous growth in the past 26 years. SGEI was born from the vision of one man who headed this Group with vigour and vitality - the late Col. (Dr.) T.S. Mathur was born in the year 1942 in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. After pursuing his studies in the field of Dental Surgery at the prestigious King Georges Medical College, Lucknow, Col. Mathur was commissioned into the Indian Army as a first-class officer in the year 1965.
During his 25 years in the Army command, he saw various dental centres across India. During his travel across the length and breadth of the country, Col. Mathur got the opportunity to experience various cultures and systems spread across various states of our beautiful Country. In 1990 Col. Mathur took retirement from the Indian Army and settled down in his hometown Lucknow. He realized that Uttar Pradesh was far behind in the field of professional education when compared to states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra. In 2004, SDC received Recognition from the DCI and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, New Delhi, and the Post Graduate program (M.D.S.) was subsequently started in 2005. This M.D.S. program has set benchmarks in dental teaching and research.
In the year 2009, Col. Mathur established Saraswati Hospital and Research Centre to augment and strengthen his vision of providing quality health care, and Saraswati Medical College was established in the year 2016 with its own Hospital of 650 beds and an intake of 150 students annually. The year 2009 also witnessed the establishment of one of the finest aviation academies in the country - the “Saraswati Aviation Academy” or SAA at Amhat, Sultanpur with six training aircrafts.
It is said that behind every successful man, there is a woman, and Col. Mathur's wife and the Vice-Chairperson of the Group, Mrs Madhu Mathur, who has been a teacher for the past 35 years and Visharad in Indian Classical Music from the famous Prayag Sangeet Samiti, Allahabad, has always been a pillar of strength to Col. Mathur and a mother and mentor to all the students of Saraswati.
The Saraswati Group was established by incorporating and invoking the name of The Goddess of Learning, “Maa Saraswati”.
The self-less dedication of the Saraswati Group is being carried over and is being enhanced by Dr Rajat Mathur and Mr Charit Mathur, along with valuable contributions by their respective spouses Mrs. Smita Mathur and Mrs Ritu Mathur, under the guiding light of our Chairperson Mrs Madhu Mathur.
The Management is being assisted by a large group of dedicated and experienced professionals in every area of the Group.
