With deep hearted sorrow, i would like to convey my condolences to the Pant family. We have lost a distinguished physicist, former director education (UP), founder head
of Physics and former VC Kumaon University Nainital, yesterday the June 11, 2008 at Haldwani, where he had been putting up his post-retirement life. Shri Vijay Sharma brought this news and I am extremely sad to hear,  I had many instances to talk to him over phone and strongly believe that he was a great physicist, moreover a great Uttarakhandi, could be counted on among the very few hard core Indian photo physicist.
Dear Professor, your vision in terms of UKD would always enlighten the society and your research work would always bring cutting edge transformations in physics.
Your publications in well known international journals like "Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology" ,  "Journal of Luminescence", chemical physics and chemical physics letters etc, would always be referred with high citations.

several issues indeed. He maintained high standards and motivated among his colleagues

his reputation and contacts he mustered a sustained collaboration with
reputed national and international laboratories involved in physics research. His
work took him to many countries.He was a great lover of music and
gardening ,both of which gave him hours of pleasure and relaxation.The
untimely death of his younger son was a blow from which he never
