ISRO Assures Staff It Will Not Be Privatised Amid Employee Concerns

ISRO has clarified that it will not be privatised, stating that its importance will not be diminished. The assurance came after nine employee associations at the space agency wrote to ISRO Chairperson V Narayanan on September 4. The employees sought official clarification regarding reports of a proposed transfer of ISRO's manufacturing and operational functions to private entities. The letter reflected growing concern among staff about the organisation's future structure and role.
