Defence Minister AK Antony has recommended a CBI probe into an alleged recruitment scam in Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) where some senior officers — including two of its former chiefs — violated rules while giving jobs to their kin in violation of rules. The CBI probe was recommended after the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) favoured action against officials.
The Defence Minister recommended the CBI probe into the recruitment scam after the vigilance wing of the Ministry carried out a probe for more than a year after the allegations surfaced, officials said here on Sunday. The DRDO officials under the scanner included two former chiefs and a former Chief Controller of the organisation.
Recently, a Director-rank officer of the DRDO was probed for his alleged role in an appointment made against the laid down procedures and was suspended hours before his retirement from service in May. The official, a senior scientist, was suspended by the department as an inquiry was pending against him in a recruitment-related case where he allegedly recruited his own daughter in the organisation.
The matter had come to light after the CVC recommended action against two DRDO officials for their alleged role in the case. The suspended official was allegedly involved in promotion and selection of scientists in the organisation.

Brother,
DRDO is actually an excellant breeding ground of corruption with the collaboration of the organisation which is entrusted with the function of internal audit and accounts. Mr. Antony at the fag end of his tenure did a small but commendable job by ordering a CBI probe to only a isolated scam.If he has a strong will, then let him order enquiry on various payment issues viz- purchases ,TDs and contracts etc and it will not be surprising if most cases involve massive corruption. Thanks to Mr. Dandrial whose untiring effort in the direction of cleaning DRDO of corruption may bear some fruit in near future. Good wishes to all those who burn midnight lamps to bring corruption in DRDO to light.

Is there any database available through one can determine number of sons, daughters, son in laws, niece, nephews, wives and other relatives were recruited during this golden era. In 2009, recruitment of average qualified wife of a senior scientist direct as Scientist D (documentation) by customizing qualification and experience was shocking surprise to every one in lab. Similars may be many more all over drdo. Its time to clear up and clean the system. Guilt should be punished and deserving should be inducted for much better future of organisation.
