Brain Drain in India's Space Program The recent spate of resignations from key Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) missions has prompted the department of space to tighten rules on voluntary retirement and resignation requests.
The move is aimed at stemming the exodus of scientists working on critical projects such as Gaganyaan.
At least 100 scientists have quit in recent months, with around 80 leaving from the URSC alone, and at least 20 from VSSC.
