Out of\u00a0 fear , the serving chiefs are not able to resist Babu&#8217;s interference in ISRO working\u00a0 as also in Army . Babus are the most unwanted creatures in research , scientific and Technical bodies . Yet they are spreading their tentacles due to clueless ministers who are dependent daily on their nearest Babu for advice unlike Pandit Nehru who had trusted friends like Homi Bhabha , Mahlanobis etc in all communities . Former ISRO chief Madhvan Nair&#8217;s warning should be taken seriously by the government .<\/p>\n<p>Babus have a way of capturing any lucrative body . They declare Chairman&#8217;s post as secretary but keep same person as Chairman for a few years . But other lower level\u00a0 babus are now given entry in the system . Finally Secretary is appointed from Babus . and Chairman is reduced to just a clerk in ministry.<\/p>\n<p>How insensitive Babus can be to ISRO type organisations was demonstrated by withdrawing a twenty years old increment granted to scientists on the day of moon landing . The day was chosen to rub ISRO Chairman&#8217;s nose in sand .\u00a0 Same was done to Armed forces in One rank one pension case where till PM came down with a heavy hand the\u00a0 OROP was not implemented . Gen VK Singh&#8217;s false case of false mutiny \/ coup is another such case .<\/p>\n<p>Another methodology is to give dog a bad name before hanging , Ayodhya chanda chori is another such case . It is an unconfirmed rumoured that some big Babu wanted to grab CEO post which was not required at all . A temple is not a company . Travancore Maharaja has kept treasures of Padmanabhan temple\u00a0 for generations .<\/p>\n<p>In the last few years many independent organisations have been eaten by Babushahi like Medical Council , Planning Commission , Railways etc . Now the next targets are the academic institutions like Universities , IITs etc which will fall to Babus as Directors or Vice Chancelors will be Babus not academicians .<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that Babus do not know what fuels creativity ? Routine \/ Precedence \/ Hard Discipline are all poison for creativity . 3 M, an innovation based company learnt it much earlier . Baburaj is a sure key of destruction of\u00a0 India&#8217;s future . Babus gladly offer Privatisation as a golden remedy as Private company lines up for orders and ultimately fills every ones coffers. ISRO \/HAL\/ GTRI\/BARC\u00a0 cannot compete with private sectors and will be put on chopper slowly. Elon Musk or Amazon space ventures have come after NASA reached pinnacle of success . India is just starting . We need an independent centres of excellence like ISRO\/ HAL\/GTRE etc.<\/p>\n<p>It is time Government stops its total\u00a0 dependence\u00a0 on Babus and give Scientific and Technical bodies a chance to take India to next level in new technologies by reaching out to other successful people . It will be a slow pace as west will put all obstacles including misuse of CBI\/ ED \/ RAW \/IB as seen in the now notorious case of Nambi Natrayan, to prevent India in becoming self sufficient .<\/p>\n<p>Will the Government take Madhvan Nair&#8217;s advice seriously to save ISRO rather than holding a Danda which will destroy the organisation ?<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862 artTitle\">Over 100 scientists quit Isro, govt steps in to tighten exit norms amid mass resignations: Reports<\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862 artIntro\">Centre has reportedly directed Isro centres not to accept resignation or voluntary retirement requests from some section of employees<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862 artFlex artTimeCat\">\n<div class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862 artMeta\">\n<div class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862 artTimes\"><span class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862\">Updated on: Jul 17, 2026, 06:38:13 IST<\/span><time class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862\" datetime=\"2026-07-17T06:38:13+05:30\"><\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862 artCategory\">\n<div class=\"storyBy\"><span class=\"authorSec\"><span class=\"authorBy\">Edited by<small class=\"byLineAuthor\"><a class=\"authorNameClick\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/author\/danita-yadav-101747655565761\">Danita Yadav<\/a><\/small><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"articleFlex\">\n<div class=\"googlePreferFlex\">\n<div class=\"googlePreferHT\"><span class=\"googlePreferHTIcon\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/static-content\/1y\/ht\/flipcoin_ht_2x.png\" alt=\"Prefer HT\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/static-content\/1y\/ht\/flipcoin_google_2x.png\" alt=\"Prefer HT\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" \/><\/span><span class=\"googlePreferHTText\">Prefer HTon Google<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"artActions\">\n<div class=\"artShare\" title=\"share\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/india-news\/isro-mass-resignations-100-scientists-govt-tightens-rules-voluntary-retirement-reports-department-of-space-101784192485098.html\" data-title=\"Over 100 scientists quit Isro, govt steps in to tighten exit norms amid mass resignations: Reports\" data-links=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/static-content\/1y\/ht\/artShare@2x.png\" alt=\"Share\" width=\"19\" height=\"23\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862 taboola-readmore\">\n<div class=\"jsx-6b260a059801862 listElements\">\n<div class=\"artContent\">\n<div class=\"storyParagraphFigure\">\n<p class=\"content\">The\u00a0<a class=\"backlink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/topic\/isro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)\">Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)<\/a>\u00a0has reportedly been hit by mass resignations with with at least 100 scientists putting in their papers in recent months, prompting Centre to step in to tighten rules on voluntary exits and retirement, especially for those working on critical missions such as Gaganyaan.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"artImage leadImage\">\n<div class=\" \"><picture class=\"leadImageClass\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/ht-img\/img\/2026\/07\/16\/550x309\/Isro_launch_1768212133902_1768212134080_1784192783844_56018ca5-a362-481d-9985-ad765bf8164e.jpg\" media=\"(min-width:768px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"As per media reports, this move from the Centre comes after around 100 scientists submitted their resignations.
