Sir,

I have found the paper “CARBON NANOTUBES AND RELATED STRUCTURES” Kingsuk Mukhopadhyay, Kanik Ram, K.U. Bhasker Rao published in Defence Science Journal, Vol. 58, No. 4, July 2008, pp. 437-450 but unfortunately, it has been found  the second and third para of page 437 & 438 of this paper has been ditto copied from the paper published in Topics in Applied Physics, USA, Volume 80, 2001, pp 391-425 entitled “Applications of Carbon Nanotubes” by Pulickel M. Ajayan, Otto Z. Zhou.

It is shocking that the Kingsuk Mukhopadhyay author from DMSRDE has even failed to acknowledge the paper ““Applications of Carbon Nanotubes” by Pulickel M. Ajayan, Otto Z. Zhou.

This is the height of the plagiarism. Dr A K Saxena, DMSRDE and Sh Avinash Chander, SA to RM requested to do needful appropriate action to uphold the moral and dignity of DRDO.

  1. Please dont suggest induction of such awards like Copy-paste awards, etc. otherwise a huge amount of organisation budget will be consumed in presenting large number of Awards to masters. Further, whom to give…whom to drop out of large nomination will be an another headach.

  2. This scientist was published so many such papers taken out of turn outstanding promotions done nothing generally many scientist use CP TECHNOLOGY (cut & paste) this liked by The Great Saxena giving good numbers in APAR to do more. Copy right act also is sleeping.
