Visvesvaraya Technological University will confer honorary doctorates on the former chairman of the All India Council for Technical Education and two other recipients. The available report does not name the other honourees or provide the date, citation or reason for the awards.

Visvesvaraya Technological University is set to confer honorary doctorates on the former chairman of the All India Council for Technical Education and two other people, The Hindu reported. The recognition will therefore involve three recipients in total. The available material identifies only one of them by position, rather than by name, and does not provide the names of the other two recipients.

No details were supplied about the ceremony, including its date, venue or the authority that approved the honorary degrees. The report also does not state the academic, professional or public contributions cited by the university in making the awards. It is therefore not possible from the available material to explain the basis for each doctorate.

The announcement confirms the planned honours but provides no further information about the recipients or the university’s programme for the event.
