This initiative will propagate the achievements and laurels that ISRO brings to the nation.
Announcement of Opportunity has earlier been raised, inviting the interested agencies to apply, thereby becoming the registered ISRO merchandisers.
Dr K Sivan said, “It makes me happy to see the immense interest the program has generated in such a short time. I am certain that the products created from your efforts shall reach nook and corner of the country including northeast states & Jammu & Kashmir and take the ISRO story among the youth and kids.”
He also emphasized that the merchandise program has not been rolled out with a commercial interest.
The main aim of the programme leads to outreach and creating awareness through common products such as toys, Do-it-Yourself kits, T-shirts, etc.
This will kindle curiosity and serve as reminiscence of ISRO’s success.
Futher, the Chairman expressed his hope that many more creative enterprises shall come forward to make use of this opportunity and create diverse products, highlighting ISRO’s previous and upcoming efforts, in a manner appealing to the younger generation, as we take the space program onwards and upwards.
