Reform heavily and work with industry and academia. Dont try to do everything. Dont stop people from leaving. Let young scientists to take charge.

In many strategic sectors we can't just allow people to get up and leave.

Like say people in the weapons division of BARC. Or people who workd in K series. Their movements and whereabouts even after leaving must be strictly tracked. They shouldn't be allowed to leave the country at all. And if they join another company they should only join Indian companies. Otherwise all it takes is one disgruntled idiot to erode an entire nation's security.

1 fellow I know here in west worked on K15 Sagarika before coming here. Isnt that a nat sec threat.

This is ISRO not DRDO or BARC. People with experience should be allowed to leave if there is nothing critical is depended on him. Common sense like in every public company. That's how talent percolation happens and private industry flourishes. The best example is Skyroot itself, both founders are from ISRO.

Well yes. And that's the problem too, ppl working on critical stuff were leaving so gov is trying to stop them. A bad measure, more money needs to flow so that salaries can rise. But such is the current state of the country sadly. That we resort to such things.

Living a comfortable life in the west while talking on whether these scientists should be allowed to leave or not is indeed a very hypocritical thing of me, which makes me hate myself. But it is these nameless people and the work they do which gives us meaning in being Indians and secures our country.

My father almost became one of those nameless warriors, but alas was rejected by ISRO in the last stage interview process in 1998.
