Professor Vrat has received a number of prizes and honours and was recipient of the National Merit Scholarship and Lillian Gilbreth Award for his outstanding contribution to industrial engineering and productivity in India. Last April he was honoured with the ‘Uttaranchal Ratan’ award.

Talking to Hindustan Times about his priorities, Vrat said: “I will strive hard to make the university a centre of excellence. There are various other matters that I will like to address in order to take the university to greater heights. But for that, it is imperative I understand the working of the varsity.”

Though the newly appointed V-C said that he would take over charge at the earliest, he refused to tell the exact date. He said that since he was in the governing board of UPTU for quite some time, he had a good understanding about its functioning.
