(Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Awardee 2019-UAE)
Girish Pant has made an enormous mark in UAE in the past few years through his relentless humanitarian work. He is known for helping more than 5000 Indians and people of other countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Russia, Uzbekistan, Philippines, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Sudan and Nepal to return to their homelands. For all his work he has been called Bajrang
i Bhaijaan by India News and some other media houses in India. His efforts and works received due recognition of the Government of India when he was awarded โPravasi Bharatiya Sammanโ in 2019. During the extraordinarily difficult times of Covid-19 also Girish Pant shone with his commitment to helping people. He assisted people in locating their ill friends and relatives in hospitals. His help to the Indian Consulate in Dubai in repatriating 80-90 non-Covid mortal remains to India was especially noteworthy. He made enormous efforts in this regard, by visiting police stations, hospitals and mortuaries almost on a daily basis. He arranged for food and medicines for the needy and identified those most in need for repatriation on VBM and chartered flights. He also connected a large number of Indians with the hospital authorities and gave solace to many others on phone.
