The Education Research and Development Association (ERDA) extends Honorary Membership to esteemed individuals who have made noteworthy contributions to academia, industry, and society. ERDA extends this invitation to accomplished individuals who align with and support ERDA’s vision and mission. By becoming part of our global community, they can contribute their expertise, experience, and dedication to enrich our organization’s endeavors. As Honorary Members, they may provide advisory support and may also be invited to participate as resource persons, speakers, chief guests, or guests of honor in ERDA’s national or international events. We eagerly anticipate collaboration with these individuals, sharing a commitment to advancing education and development.

It is important to distinguish Honorary Membership from other membership categories within ERDA. Honorary Membership is a prestigious recognition bestowed upon individuals including, but not limited to:

• Chancellors and Pro Chancellors of Private Universities
• Vice Chancellors and Pro Vice Chancellors of Government and Non-government Universities
• Directors of IITs/NITs/IIMs/Similar Eminent Institutes 
• CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CHROs, Directors and equivalent senior level executives of Private and Public Limited Companies
• Distinguished Bureaucrats
• Any other individuals who have achieved remarkable milestones in their respective field.

We kindly request the broader community to refrain from applying for Honorary Membership, as this category is reserved for individuals meeting the aforementioned criteria. Those interested in joining ERDA are encouraged to explore other membership options for which they may be eligible. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we uphold the integrity and purpose of Honorary Membership within our organization. Individuals interested in nominating themselves or others for Honorary Membership are invited to nominate through email.
