India’s master-blaster, Sachin Tendulkar will be able to make use of the title of “doctor”, one time the honorary doctorate is conferred on him, according to Prof. V. G. Talwar, the vice-chancellor of the Mysore University. The recipient of an honorary doctorate may use the degree in the same manner as a substantive degree, except under sure circumstances where the formal academic background is necessary. The recipient usually won't start using the pronominal title of doctor, though there is no rule against it.
Speaking exclusively from Mysore, they said, “Sachin Tendulkar, in this case, can certainly be called as Dr. Sachin. The recipients of an honorary doctorate may in the event that they wish adopt the title of “doctor”. The decision has been taken by the Syndicate Body but it is yet to be approved by the governor”.
“Yes, they will be the first Indian cricket player to get this honour from our University. To recognise his services to the nation, this honour is being conferred to him”, the University Registrar, P.G. Naik, also speaking to this paper, said.
Interestingly, the Mumbai University of Mumbai, where Sachin Tendulkar is based, has not conferred this degree to him. “We don’t want to enter in to any controversies like why Mumbai University has not honoured him, but ours is the best heritage university recognised not only in India but in the world will honour him”, the registrar added.
When a university wishes to formally recognize an individual’s contributions to a specific field or philanthropic efforts, it may pick to grant a doctoral degree honoris causa (i.e., “for the sake of the honor”), the university waiving the usual formal requirements for bestowal of the degree
The University authorities want to confer the doctorate to Sachin Tendulkar before the next month’s World Cup. “Once the proposal is approved, they shall be write a letter to Sachin and invite him over to Mysore”, the Vice Chancellor and Registrar added.
The university will award the degree at a regular ceremony and an accompanying speech is historicallyin the past expected from Sachin Tendulkar.
It may here be also noted here that, though Sachin has not done his graduation, his spouse, Anjali is a doctor in medical profession. She practised as a kid specialist but left the profession to cater their one kids, Sara and Arjun.
Sachin Tendulkar was conferred with the honorary rank of Group Captain by the IAF, now the doctor by the University, what next Dr. Tendulkar ?
