India’s Science Minister responds to questions about recent resignations connected with ISRO by downplaying their significance. In remarks on the country’s future space missions, the minister cites an earlier comment attributed to a former head of ISRO, describing that personnel changes of this kind are routine and that “many come and go.” The minister’s position is that leadership transitions and departures do not indicate any fundamental disruption to India’s space programme. Instead, the minister focuses on continuity in planning for upcoming missions and the broader direction of India’s space activities. The comments are presented as an attempt to reassure onlookers that ISRO’s work is expected to continue despite changes in individuals. The exchange follows media attention on resignations and their potential implications, but the minister does not provide new details on the reasons for departures in the reported account. The overall message is that ISRO’s mission pipeline and institutional functioning are not defined solely by short-term staffing changes.
