ISRO Launches Merchandise Programme With Theme-Based T-Shirts, Toys

Customised ISRO-theme based products propagating achievements and laurels that ISRO brings to the nation will be available, ISRO said.

The Indian Space Research Organisation on Thursday formally launched its theme-based merchandise programme with the selection of the first batch of nine registered ISRO merchandisers. Customised ISRO-theme based products can play a ''game- changing'' role in creating awareness and kindling interest of the students, children and public, in the domain of space science & technology, propagating the achievements and laurels that ISRO brings to the nation, an ISRO statement said. An ''Announcement of Opportunity'' had been floated in this regard, where interested agencies were invited to apply to become registered ISRO merchandisers, the Bengaluru- headquartered space agency said. Launching the programme in a virtual event, Secretary in the Department of Space and ISRO Chairman, K Sivan, said it makes him happy to see the immense interest the programme has generated in such a short time.
