ISRO scientists launch the Space Technology and Research Program 2026 at Chandigarh University, according to reporting from The Hindu and Business Line. The program is described as an initiative involving ISRO personnel and the university, focused on space-related research and technology activities for participating students and teams. The coverage is consistent in that it ties the start of the 2026 program directly to the university campus in Chandigarh and highlights ISRO scientists’ involvement in kicking off the initiative.

Both sources present the announcement as part of a wider effort to promote space technology learning and research, with ISRO contributing expertise through engagement with the university’s academic environment. While the articles emphasize the launch and the ISRO-university partnership, they do not provide, in the supplied text, detailed specifics such as the program’s curriculum structure, duration, or the number of participants selected.

Overall, the reports agree on the central facts: the 2026 Space Technology and Research Program is launched, ISRO scientists are involved, and Chandigarh University is the host institution.
