India tightens resignation rules at ISRO amid exodus from key space missions

India's Department of Space has introduced new regulations governing scientist resignations at ISRO, following the departure of at least 100 personnel in recent months. The new rules require centre directors to escalate all resignation requests to the Department of Space, rather than handling them independently. This reverses a 2020 policy that had granted centre directors the authority to accept resignations directly. The move is aimed at protecting critical programmes such as the human spaceflight mission Gaganyaan from losing key talent. ISRO has acknowledged the departures but maintained that it is equipped to manage the impact on ongoing missions.
