The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has
evolved a programme through which financial support is provided for conducting
research and development activities related to Space Science, Space Technology
and Space Application to academia in India. This programme of Research
Sponsored by ISRO is called RESPOND. In special cases research and development
projects proposed by non-academic R & D laboratories can also be supported
through this programme. The aim of RESPOND is to encourage quality research in areas
of relevance to the Indian space programme.
The main objectives of the RESPOND Programme is to
establish strong links with academic institutions in the country to carry out
research and developmental projects which are of relevance to space and derive
useful outputs of such R&D to support ISRO programmes.
The primary objective of the Indian Space programme
is to harness the advanced research areas of space science and technology for
national development and to derive the maximum benefit for the people of India.
The Indian Space Programme includes the following major elements:
• Demonstration
of the feasibility of deriving from space science and technology- applications
in space communications, long distance education, earth resources
mapping/survey, meteorology and geodesy.
• Development
of indigenous capability for design and development of orbiting satellites for
scientific research and space applications, sounding rockets and satellite
launch vehicles.
RESPOND (Sponsored Research) programme started in
the 1970s aims at encouraging academia to participate and contribute in various
space related activities. Under RESPOND; projects are taken up by
universities/academic institutions in the areas of relevance to Space
Programme. Apart from this, ISRO has also set up Space Technology Cells at
premiere institutions like Indian Institute of Technologies (IITs) - Bombay,
Kanpur, Kharagpur & Madras; Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore
and Joint Research Programme with University of Pune (UoP) to carry out
research activities in the areas of space technology and applications. These
STCs and JRP are guided by Joint Policy Committee's (JPC) chaired by
Director/Vice Chancellor of the respective institution and with members from
ISRO/DOS (Senior Scientists/Engineers) & the respective institution. Under
the STC, projects are taken up by the faculty of the Institute (for more
details visit: www.csre.iitb.ac.in/isro_cell; www.iitk.ac.in/dord/isro ;
www.kcstc.iitkgp.ernet.in;www.icandsr.iitm.ac.in/ISRO_IITM_CELL;

The main objectives of the RESPOND Programme is to
establish strong links with academic institutions in the country to carry out
research and developmental projects which are of relevance to space and derive
useful outputs of such R&D to support ISRO programmes. RESPOND programme
aims to enhance academic base, generate human resources and infrastructure at
the academic institutes to support the space programme. The major activity of
RESPOND is to provide support to research projects in wide range of topics in
space technology, space science and applications areas to universities/
institutions. In addition conferences, workshops and publications, which are of
relevance to space research, are also being supported.
