ISRO staff renew privatisation concerns, seek chairman meeting

Nine ISRO employee associations have again written to Chairman V Narayanan, saying core questions on privatisation, technology transfer and staffing remain unanswered after his September 8 video address. They seek a structured meeting to discuss fears that ISRO could be reduced to a residual R&D entity. The pushback began over IN-SPACe chief Pawan Goenka's remarks on launch vehicle manufacturing.
