"Empowering Scholars with Boundless Opportunities”
On August twenty-fifth, a day of great renown, We as the world's doctorates, take responsibility by adopting a pledge. Our knowledge and skill, a precious treasure trove, A day to honour those who have a never-ending quest for generating new knowledge.
Prof. Dr. Kamal Kant Dwivedi, President "Global Academy of Doctorates" had declared August 25th as World Doctorates Day in March 2012. The day an idea came to observe a day of the year as the World Doctorates Day, we found that the 238th member joined the Doctorates Network on LinkedIn. In leap year 2012, the 238th day of the year was August 25th, hence without any bias or prejudice, the members of the Doctorates Network accepted August 25th as the World Doctorates Day. On this very day, the Academy is organizing an international conference every year, and all the participants adopt a pledge to uphold high ethical standards in all public activities and deeds and private endeavours.

On August's twenty-fifth, we pause and cheer,
A day for minds that wander far and near.
World Doctorates Day, a tribute true,
To scholars whose pursuits bring light anew.
In halls of knowledge, where the thinkers dwell,
They chase the mysteries that none can quell.
From ancient tomes to future's gleam so bright,
Their quest for truth is ever in the light.
With thesis bound and lab coats in the fray,
They forge new paths where shadows used to sway.
In whispers of the quantum or the gene,
They paint the world in hues we've never seen.
The “Global Academy of Doctorates” is an International academic organization of accomplished people having highest university degrees (Ph.D. or equivalent) in all fields of studies. This Professional group was initially launched on March 7, 2012 and currently enrolled more than 5000 members from 55 countries. The main idea behind creation of this Global Academy is to offer a global platform to all members to share their experiences and to network as a powerful academic body for social good. The Academy will also recognize its members for their outstanding contributions in various fields by nominating them as Fellows of the Academy. To earn a doctorate is a matter of pride. All of You are great achievers. You belong to an exclusive group of academicians holding the highest university degree. One has to perform an exciting journey in order to earn a doctorate. It may be rough, bumpy, dark, lonely but at times thrilling and rewarding. I feel that the Ph.D. is not merely a degree, but it is a process that equips us with skills to deal gainfully with difficult situations in life. Records show that the first Ph.D. was awarded to a woman: Lady Elena Lucrezia Cornaro-Piscopia of Italy in 1678. Evidence shows that even before this Nalanda University in ancient India was awarding doctorates degree in several subjects. Over centauries millions of doctorates degrees have been awarded. On an average about 45-50 thousand Ph.D.s are awarded in USA every year. China also produces 50 thousand doctorates annually whereas in India about 40 thousand obtain doctorates every year. Today, at least 15-20 million doctorates live and work in the world.
