Implementation of Flexible Complimenting Scheme (FCS) Rules with letter and spirit

Subject:  Implementation of Flexible Complimenting Scheme (FCS) Rules with letter and spirit  

Honorable Sir,

DRDO has misused, manipulated and override the Flexible Complimenting Scheme (FCS) guide lines issued by DoPT, GOI.

Guidelines – DOPT after 5th,CPC issued comprehensive instructions on FCS in OM No.2/41/97-PIC dated 9.11.98. These have been further reviewed in the light of 6th CPC instructions and modified FCS guidelines issued in OM NO. AB 14017/37/2008-Estt.(RR) dated l0th September, 2010

OM No. AB-14017/36/2011-Estt(RR) dated 21^st September 2012 – “FCS should be rigorous with due emphasis on evaluation of scientific and technical knowledge so that only scientists who have to their credit demonstrable achievements or higher level of technical merit are recommended for promotion.”

DRDO Hqrs, however, manipulated the forgoing rules and cleared/ recommended as outstanding to several scientists who are totally engaged in administrative/managerial /sundry tasks/ jobs/ assignments and due to proximity of top officials.

The ultimate looser is the real scientist who are giving their 100% time and efforts, the organization and the poor tax payers of India. This has further encouraged the growing incompetency and real talent leave the organization.

The Key post holder Dr A K Singh, DOP,DRDO is the leading example of violation of  Flexible Complimenting Scheme (FCS) guide lines.  He joined as scientist ‘B’ in 1988 and did science upto 2004 got two promotion in average time.  Since 2004 he is out of scientific work and due to proximity with CC R&D HR as staff officer ( 2004- 2006) managed out of turn promotion superseded lot of devotional scientists. He also managed the post of Director CEPTAM (Non technical assignment) 2007-2010. Then got post Director HRD(2010 – 2013) again  (Non technical assignment) and managed out of turn promotion superseded hundreds  of devotional scientists who deserves as per FCS and has credit demonstrable achievements or higher level of technical merit. But DRDO top bosses are great and override the Flexible Complimenting Scheme (FCS) guide lines issued by DoPT, GOI and blessed and honored Dr A K Singh with Scientist ‘G’ post. He is now working as DOP,DRDO  again  (Full time non technical assignment) and sure about to get scientist ‘H’ promotion  with hope to supersede 283 scientists as his current seniority roll no is 284.

Similarly one more example of violation of  Flexible Complimenting Scheme (FCS) guide lines in mid level Sh Ashok Sharma, Scientist ‘D’ of INMAS, DRDO working as works officer (full time non technical assignment) got outstanding call for promotion of scientist ‘E’ in only three years and ready to superseded 962 scientists as his seniority number is 963.

This is the tip of ice berg and such anti national activity encourage in DRDO has enhance the growing incompetence and has derailed the real goal of DRDO to support and strengthen the defence preparedness of India.

I request you to kindly give appropriate directives to DG DRDO for Implementation of Flexible Complimenting Scheme (FCS) Rules with letter and spirit.  

Thanking you

With warm regards
