AC Shanmugam, founder-chancellor of Dr MGR Educational and Research Institute University and chairman of Rajarajeswari Group of Institution, has been conferred honorary fellowship (FRCPS) by the Royal College of Physicians and surgeries of Glasgow, the United Kingdom.

Usually accorded to only medical professionals and scientists, FRCPS is awarded nonmedical persons only on rare occasions, said a press statement, adding: “In the 400 year old history of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeoris of Glasgow very few non-medical persons have been considered for fellowship. So far only 13 have received the honour in this category.” Shanmugam is only the second India to receive the honour, the first being the late President of India KR Narayanan, it said. His name was recommended for the honour first time in 2012.
