Ujjain (Naiduniya Representative). Vikram University will give an honorary degree from the initiation ceremony from next year. In order to implement the verbal decision of the Executive Council, Vice Chancellor Prof. Akhileshkumar Pandey has started preparations. It is said that for the last time in the year-2007, the University had commissioned Juna Akhara’s Peethadheeshwar and Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Avdheshanandgiri along with Lieutenant Colonel Rajvardhan Singh Rathore, Chief Justice of India Rameshchandra Lahoti, Somayaji Dixit, Udayshankar Awasthi, Managing Director of IFFCO, Journalist Alok Mehta and Padma Bhushan Medical Scientist. Honorary degrees were conferred on Dr. Anil Kohli. Acharya Mahamandaleshwar did not come to the ceremony due to personal reasons, so the next year he went to the ashram and conferred the title. Even before this, honorary degrees have been given to many talents, whose records are being taken out.
It is known that an honorary degree is an academic honor given by the university to a person for his outstanding work or outstanding contribution to the society, which also enhances the dignity of the university. It started with Oxford University in the 15th century. Vikram University also started it a few years after its establishment in the year 1957. Later for some reason the initiation ceremony did not take place for 32 years.
In the year 2007, the then Vice-Chancellor Prof. Due to the efforts of Ramrajesh Mishra, it was agreed to confer honorary titles to seven eminent people. After that, the interference of power in the distribution of honorary degrees increased and if there were allegations of corruption, it stopped giving honorary titles. Now after a decade and a half, the Executive Council has taken an oral decision to give an honorary degree again. Vice Chancellor Prof. Akhilesh Kumar Pandey has said that right now the Executive Council members have given verbal consent to be given the human title.

The purpose of giving an honorary degree is to honor the person of the society, who has made a significant contribution in the upliftment of the society. The honor of the university increases by giving such a person an honorary degree. Therefore, special care is taken while deciding the name of such a person. The academic degree of PhD is helpful in achieving other status including becoming a professor.
Earlier the process of awarding honorary degrees was very secret. Many committees were formed to select the name and when the name was approved by all the committees, then the name was made public.
Over a period of time, the honorary degree of PhD has been conferred on leaders and ranking providers of educational institutions, monitoring the standards of teaching, examination and research.
Honorary degree holders cannot put a doctor in front of their name. If you do, then definitely write honorary in front of it.
