Evaluation of Completed RESPOND Projects

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 Application 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 four projects under RESPOND at SAC are ongoing as on 31 December 2011 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 One projects under RESPOND at SAC completed during Twenty One months i.e. average one project completed per month. The projects completed during April 2010 to December 2011 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 April 2010 to December 2011 is as follows.

No. of projects completed during Apr 2010 to Dec 2011: 21 No. of project short closed during Apr 2010 to Dec 2011: 01

The 22 completed/ short closed projects were taken up in 19 institutes / universities with the budget of 234.08 Lakhs.

No. of projects ongoing as on Apr 2010: 41 No. of projects completed/ short closed during Apr 2010 to Dec 2011: 22 No. of new projects approved by ISRO HQ during Apr 2010 to Dec 2011: 13 No. of projects ongoing as on Dec 2011: 34

[1 - 1]


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 two 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.
