ISRO Employee Associations Seek Meeting Over Privatisation and Future Role Concerns
Nine Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) employee associations, represented by the Joint Action Council (JAC), have requested a meeting with ISRO Chairperson Dr. V. Narayanan to discuss concerns about privatisation, technology transfer, and the agency's future role. Despite a prior video conference addressing some issues, the JAC stated that fundamental questions on privatisation policies, manufacturing, staffing, and employee safeguards remain unanswered. Additional concerns include cadre stagnation, recruitment delays, attrition, and operational functions. The employees seek clarity amid public statements about potential changes in ISRO's manufacturing role.
