With this a total of four satellites of the navic constellation have resulted in some sort of failure .

I am also thinking why ISRO waited years not launching any navic sattelite. Navic doomed

To run navic type of services smoothly, we need planning and strategy to replace defective satellite immediatly. Than these type of services will run. You cant wait years to replace defective/dead satellite.

Does spaceX will wait years to replace its internet providing satellite, if get failed. Jugaad never works every time.

What a coincidence that all four had some issues or other.

Who manufactured satellites? Is it private company or ISRO inhouse? Because the former may follow Industrial Standards while the latter leans mostly towards jugaad.

Jugaad costed the Chandrayaan-2 failure. If they don't implement Industrial Standards and Practices then they will be bottlenecked just like every other Gormint Company.

Vehicle worked flawlessly based on its design. The problem is the vehicle is not designed to put satellites in such orbits directly. We desperately need bigger rockets. But our chalta attitude and pride in this jugaad nonsense is killing us. Jugaad can only take us so far and using satellites thrusters to maneuver into the final orbit it a jugaad in today's standards, especially for a satellite weighing only 2200kgs. Finally our chalta and jugaad attitude is catching up to the one last good thing we have had - ISRO. If our work and scientific culture doesn't change, even ISRO will be doomed soon (not even later, but very soon).

Jugaad Tech has it own shelf life. After certain time we have to move to next stage and come up with the Direct to GTO transfer Rockets.
How long we have to continue with "Our Mars mission costed less than movie Gravity". It's not a thing to be proud of rather it tells that constrained we are with money keeping in mind that Americans are now beating us in cost game.​

I think US and Russians used to make such satellites in pair (second one as backup of first). In case one goes kaput or suffer any failure with any subsystem or sensor they would launch the second one as replacement.

We need to work in same way. Keep a replacement always ready in case of failures.​
