Space research in India has progressed well but lacks manpower. Realizing this, Isro is trying to lure the youth through its Indian Institute of Space Technology for careers in space sciences. Chairman Madhav
an Nair disclosed this at the ninth convocation of the International Institute of Information Technology-Bangalore (IIIT-B) on Sunday. "We are trying to get youngsters. The Indian Institute of Space Technology has been set up for this, and is working in that direction.'' Nair spoke on challenges that Isro engineers are overcoming despite external limitations. On the Moon Mission, he said engineers worked in a hostile environment __ other countries, wary of India's forays into technology, had refused to share knowledge. "Our scientists had to begin from the basics. Today, we have data on the Moon that no other country can boast of, and that too with minimum expenditure.'' Nair stressed on commitment and hard work among graduates as crucial factors in determining quality of work. Technology, he felt, is the key to a problem-free society. "Poverty begins where education does not reach,'' he added.
