    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    'It seems the prime minister may not be given the real picture about the country's space sector and ISRO. So, we are having the seminar to bring the issues to his notice.' After various staff associations in the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) carried out a pamphlet campaign to protect the space agency's future, it is now the turn of the ISRO Pensioners' Association to carry it forward.

    ISRO Staff Step Up Privatisation Protest (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The larger question raised by the associations is simple: If ISRO is no longer to manufacture launch vehicles, what will happen to the institution's accumulated capabilities and the people who built them?
