1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) provides financial support under RESPOND

program for conducting research and development activities related to Space Science, Space

Technology and Space Applications in Universities and academic Institutions in India. The

main objectives of the RESPOND Programme are to establish strong links with academic

Institutions to carryout quality research and developmental projects of relevance to space

and derive useful outputs to support ISRO programmes. RESPOND programme aims to

enhance academic base, generate human resources and infrastructure at the academic

Institution to support the space programme. Under the broad umbrella of Respond, ISRO

runs Space Technology Cells at IITs, IISc and Pune University which coordinate research

proposals within the respective institutions.

The RESPOND program started at SAC in seventies. The program is running at SAC with the

continuous support of academic institutes and universities geographically located in

different states of India. The esteemed institutions/ universities like IITs, NIT, NIAS, CEPT

University, DA-IICT, Nirma University etc. have participated in the RESPOND program at SAC.

Thirty six projects under RESPOND at SAC are ongoing as on 31 March 2014 with

participation of various institutes/universities.

One of the important objectives of the RESPOND program is to derive useful outputs to

support ISRO programmes. The evaluation of completed RESPOND projects has been taken

up to look back the impact of projects on space program. With our special efforts, Twenty

Two projects under RESPOND at SAC completed during Twenty seven months. The projects

completed during January 2012 to March 2014 have been evaluated and the Evaluation

results, Details of impact study, Summary of findings and Financial details are covered in the

document.

1.2 OVERVIEW ON RESPOND PROJECTS

The overview on projects under Respond at SAC during January 2012 to March 2014 is as follows.

No. of projects completed during Jan 2012 to Dec 2012: 10 No. of project completed during Jan 2013 to Mar 2014: 12

The 22 completed projects were taken up in 19 institutes / universities with the budget of 261.03 Lakhs.

No. of projects ongoing as on Jan 2012: 34 No. of projects completed during Jan 2012 to Mar 2014: 22 No. of new projects approved by ISRO HQ during Jan 2012 to Mar 2014: 24 No. of projects ongoing as on Mar 2014: 36

Every year new projects are taken up and old projects are completed. Hence the number of

ongoing projects changes every year. Following chart shows yearwise number of ongoing

projects.

The decrease in number of ongoing projects in year 2011 compared to year 2010 is due to

rise in rate of completion of ongoing projects. With rigorous efforts to complete Respond

projects, the rate of project completion has risen drastically. Following chart shows rise in

completed projects during last four years.

1.3 PROJECT EVALUATION CONCEPT

The evaluation of research project is a complex task. We have tried our level best to convert

the subjective evaluation parameters into rating numbers. The projects are evaluated based

on following five parameters and their Weightage Factor (WF).

Results Assessment compared to Objectives and Usages (WF - 0.4)

Deliverables (WF - 0.2)

Papers Publications based on RESPOND Projects. (WF - 0.2)

Human Resource Development/ Ph.D. awarded/ M.Tech. thesis (WF - 0.1)

Seeding of Space related activities at academic Institutes (WF - 0.1)

The individual parameter for a specific project is rated on 10 point scale. Each parameter

rating is multiplied with weightage factor. This gives weighted points for each parameter.

The addition of five weighted points gives final rating of the project out of 10 points. The

final rating has been given to 21 completed projects.
