Step 1: Submission of Nomination

Nominations can be submitted by the nominee, a recommender, or GHPU committee members, along with a form, CV, ID proof, and supporting documents.

Step 2: Screening & Evaluation

Once a nomination is received, the GHPU Academic Council or Nomination Committee undertakes a comprehensive screening and evaluation process.

Step 3: Selection & Official Invitation

Once the GHPU Academic Council or Nomination Committee approves a nomination, the selected individuals will receive an official Conferral Letter along with a formal Invitation to the Award Ceremony.

Step 4: Conferment of Honorary Doctorate Award

Awardees receive the Honorary Doctorate at a GHPU ceremony with a certificate, gown, digital verification, and global recognition.

Step 1: Submission of Nomination

Nominations can be submitted through multiple channels:

  • Directly by the nominee
  • By a third-party recommender (individuals or organizations)
  • Through our officially appointed GHPU Nomination Committee Members, who operate across India and globally

Each nomination must include:

  • A completed Nomination Form (online or offline)
  • The nominee’s Profile or CV
  • Valid Photo ID proof (e.g., Aadhaar, Passport, or National ID)
  • Relevant supporting documents such as media coverage, awards, recommendations, Non Criminal Affidavit, or impact links

Step 2: Screening & Evaluation

Once a nomination is received, the GHPU Academic Council or Nomination Committee undertakes a comprehensive screening and evaluation process. The initial review focuses on confirming the nominee’s eligibility, ensuring the submission is complete, and verifying the authenticity of all documents provided. Following this, a detailed assessment is conducted to evaluate the nominee’s professional contributions, societal impact, and alignment with GHPU’s core values—peace, education, humanitarian service, and global empowerment. As part of this evaluation, background checks and verification procedures are implemented to maintain the integrity of the process. If deemed necessary, the committee may request additional supporting documents such as academic certificates, letters of recommendation, or a notarized non-criminal affidavit. These steps ensure that only the most credible and deserving individuals progress to the final stages of recognition.

Step 3: Selection & Official Invitation

Once the GHPU Academic Council or Nomination Committee approves a nomination, the selected individuals will receive an official Conferral Letter along with a formal Invitation to the Award Ceremony. This communication will be sent from GHPU’s verified email addresses—ghpuniversity@gmail.com or info@ghpuedu.org—and may also be shared via WhatsApp for added convenience. The message will confirm the nominee’s selection status and provide detailed instructions for the next steps in the process. As part of the final formalities, a small nominal administrative fee may be applicable. This fee helps cover documentation, verification, processing, and ceremonial logistics. Additionally, it directly supports GHPU’s mission-driven initiatives, including the development and maintenance of online.ghpuedu.org, a dedicated platform offering free online education and skill development opportunities to underserved communities worldwide. This ensures that every recognition also contributes to lasting educational and social impact.
