Harsh Goenka, known for his motivational and engaging social media posts, has ignited a debate on the monthly salary of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman S Somanath. In a tweet, Mr. Goenka disclosed that S Somanath earns a monthly salary of Rs 2.5 lakhs. While raising the question of whether this income is just, Mr. Goenka also acknowledged S Somanath’s passion for science and research.

“Chairman of ISRO, Somanath’s salary is Rs 2.5 lakhs a month. Is it right and fair? Let’s understand people like him are motivated by factors beyond money. They do what they do for their passion and dedication to science and research, for national pride to contribute to their country, and for personal fulfillment in terms of achieving their purpose. I bow my head to dedicated people like him!” Mr. Goenka wrote on Twitter.

Responses from internet users poured in on the microblogging platform.

“Absolutely! The dedication and passion of individuals like Chairman Somanath at ISRO are immeasurable. Their work goes beyond monetary rewards, driven by a deep commitment to science, research, and the betterment of their nation. They are true inspirations, and their contributions to society are invaluable,” commented one user.

“He should be getting 25 Lakhs a month, or more. Period. We should recognize and reward our talent,” asserted another.

A third user noted, “It should also depend on other perks like home, car, servants, and other non-monetary fringes. But, as you said, he doesn’t find money as the biggest motivation. For him, success and the nation’s pride are the biggest factors.”

A fourth added, “Indeed. Such brilliant minds are driven by passion and purpose. But the salary quoted by you is perhaps the basic pay only. The other perks and allowances need to be added, too. Scientists are adequately well looked after, and they truly deserve it. Yes, it is also the fact that they could have earned many times over in the private sector. But that is also true for doctors, judges, researchers, and many other professionals.”

Mr. Goenka’s tweet has garnered over 746,000 views and numerous likes and comments.
