ISRO won’t be ‘diminished’, says IN-SPACe chairman
IN‑SPACe chairman S. Somanath assured that the Indian Space Research Organisation will retain its core functions and will not be weakened, despite recent moves toward commercialisation. His remarks respond to objections raised by nine ISRO employee groups, who feared that privatisation could diminish the agency’s role. The statement aims to clarify the government’s space policy direction.
