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.
