In 2006 he was awarded with Bharat Asmita Jana Pratidhi Shrestha Award for Academic Excellence. His widow Rajashree collected the Award on his behalf.
His achievements are beyond words. Dr Shrikant's sober-mindedness, his polite nature, intellect and passion for his nation, all combine to make him a perfect role model. On his death, India lost her precious son. It amounts to an irreparable loss of a versatile personality.
