India TV Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma has been conferred with an honorary doctorate by the Kumaun University. India TV Chairman Rajat Sharma, the anchor of award-winning news show Aap Ki Adalat and a recipient of Padma Bhushan, was conferred with a Doctor of Literature (D.Litt) by the Nainital-based university today.
He was awarded the honorary doctorate by Kumaun University's Vice-Chancellor Dr. K.S. Rana.
"Any honour brings forward a sense of responsibility. I do not know whether I deserve this but since the responsibility has been bestowed upon me, I will strive to be worthy of it. It would've been great if I could've met university students but the helicopter could not take off because of bad weather", said Rajat Sharma.
A veteran of over three-and-a-half decades in journalism, it was Rajat Sharma's Aap Ki Adalat show, first broadcast in 1993, that made him a household name. To his credit, the senior journalist has interviewed close to 1,000 high-profile guests on his show, setting a new benchmark.
Besides heading the India TV Group, Rajat Sharma is also the President of the News Broadcasters' Association (NBA), the top broadcasters' body of India.
