Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on Hazar Imam by Sind University, Jamshoro at a Special Convocation. In his citation, Al-Haj Sayid Ghulam Mustafa Shah, Vice-Chancellor of the University said; 'In a short span of 12 years as Imam, His Royal Highness has shown that he is endowed with wisdom, versatility, sagacity and statesmanship which are characteristic of his noble and great family. In the fast-changing and kaleidoscopic conditions on the continents of Asia and Africa, His Royal Highness has not only guided the socio-economic activities of his own followers, but has also rendered immense material assistance in the economic development of new and young nations and thereby advanced the well-being, prosperity and stability of the people of those countries.'
