A pat for the PAT

ISROfef is very very happy to learn this great step !   Congratulations ISRO !!

Read the news item in TheHindu, today.

It's a pat on our younger brothers and sisters at ISRO.  

Two increments and Too many problems

All of the ISRO Pensioners, who retired in the  levels of SD to SG, before 2016 ,  are in problem. They have not  got the 7CPC revised pension yet.  The issue, according to our pension Cell (VSSC) is,  related to the  ADDITIONAL TWO INCREMENTS !

The grapewine is that the revision is being shuttled between VSSC, ISRO-HQ, and CPAO ( Fin Ministry). And no one so far has indicated any probable date of  clarifications and settlement of the issue .

Two increnets makes too many problems !    But the fact is clear ... No one is really interested to pursue / speed up  actions.  We, poor Pensioners are left with only one choice !  Wait for the mercy of our  mother ISRO, however long its going to be !!

ISRO, be cautious !

Things are hanging by the day !  Did you read the Editorial in TheHindu on 4th April ?  Its regarding the failure of the latest GSAT-6A Satellite Launch (March 29 th ). 

Now, Media dares to criticize ISRO ! No wonder, they too are knowledgeable in rockets and Satellites.  Did you note the highlights :

ISRO should learn from such problems.

ISRO should be open to specific learning points from lauch exercises.

Space Science is exciting not just for these experts, but to many outside the field.

Now it is very important tha ISRO presents itself more openly to the world.

The lesson is that  now, the whole world is watching what you do, and on a minute by minute basis.
