I know I am writing this tribute to Girish Sant awfully late.

I hadn't interacted with Girish very closely, but was a great admirer of his and his colleagues' work at Prayas. It takes enormous and sustained commitment to establish and grow an organisation like Prayas. Girish had it in him. The strong pro-people perspective that he imparted to the energy debate in India -- it has lessons for the rest of the world, too -- is a legacy that he has left behind.

My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
