NEW DELHI: British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was on
Monday honoured with a doctorate degree by Delhi University in
recognition of his achievements in the field of academics and
public services.

Vice President Hamid Ansari, also the Chancellor of the
University, presented the honorary degree to the British
premier.

The degree is awarded to 57-year-old Brown for his "deep
commitment to human values", University Vice Chancellor Deepak
Paintal said at the special convocation held at the historic Old
Vice Regal Lodge.

Brown said it was a real privilege for him to get the degree
from Delhi University which he described as one of the best
Universities in the country.

He commended the university for fulfilling the educational
needs of young people from as many as 60 countries, which is the
largest presence of foreign students in any varsity in Asia.

In his acceptance speech, Brown spoke about the traditional
ties with India and Britain and said it would play an important
role in creating a new global framework of developed and
developing countries.

The decision to confer the Ph.D. is seen as a friendly
gesture to the British Prime Minister.

The University of Cambridge had honoured Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh with a doctorate degree three months ago.

Brown majored in history from Edinburgh University and did
his MA there in 1972. He was a lecturer at Glasgow College of
Technology in 1976 before entering active politics.
