Rover’ a private research group, decided to send some innovative ideas
regarding the mission to the Chief Scientist of Chandrayaan-3.

group formed ‘Entertainment Through Reading’ group which showed
conformity in terms of their interest. ‘Entertainment Through Reading’
group had no written rules, was unstable in form and scope and had no
fixed lines of communication. The members of this group enhanced the
morale of each other, enjoyed drinking coffee together, read books, served
different issues of their work areas and provided support to each other.
Ultimately this group developed some innovative ideas which were sent
by ‘Space Rover’ to the Chief Scientist of Chandrayaan-3. Though this
group was formed for recreation but it contributed towards fulfillment of
organisational objectives.
