पीएमओ से शिकायत पर अनुशासन की तलवार

March 26, 2015 Prabhu 2 Comments

आइआरडीई के एक अफसर ने भेजा शिकायतों का पुलिंदा
अब निदेशक ने मामले की जांच को कमेटी गठित की

28 जून 2011 को आइआरडीई से सेंट्रल सॉल्वेज डिपो, नई दिल्ली के लिए एल्युमिनियम लेकर पांच ट्रक चले थे। जिसमें से एक ट्रक का करीब 500 किलो एल्युमिनियम गायब मिला था। जांच में भी इसकी पुष्टि हुई थी, लेकिन कोई कार्रवाई नहीं की गई।

देहरादून की एक फर्म से मानकों को ताक पर रखकर 10 लाख रुपये के फर्नीचर की खरीद। 18 सफाई और रखरखाव के नाम पर कार्मिकों का बेहिसाब ओवरटाइम।

खाली होने के बावजूद तीन साल तक निदेशक आवास अन्य पात्र अधिकारी को आवंटित नहीं किया गया।

शिकायत करना पड़ा महंगा
मुश्किल : पीएमओ को भेजी चिट्ठी में इन मुद्दों का है जिक्र

सुमन सेमवाल, देहरादून डिफेंस रिसर्च एंड डेवलपमेंट ऑर्गेनाइजेशन (डीआरडीओ) के देहरादून स्थित यंत्र अनुसंधान एवं विकास संस्थान (आइआरडीई) के एक अफसर को विभाग के गड़बड़झाले की शिकायत पीएमओ से करना महंगा पड़ गया। विभाग ने शिकायत पर कार्रवाई की बजाए उन पर ही अनुशासन की तलवार लटका दी। हालांकि, इसके बाद हुए पत्रचार को देखते हुए संस्थान के निदेशक ने पूरे मामले की जांच के लिए अब कमेटी गठित कर दी गई। 1किस्सा कुछ इस तरह है, आइआरडीई के टेक्निकल स्टाफ ऑफिसर वीके गोयल ने फरवरी माह में पीएमओ को पत्र लिखकर विभागीय अनियमितताओं की शिकायत की थी। बताया गया कि पीएमओ ने उनके इस पत्र पर संज्ञान लेते हुए संस्थान के निदेशक को कार्रवाई करने को कहा। लेकिन, हुआ इसके उलट। संस्थान के स्तर पर इस अधिकारी को अनुशासनात्मक कार्रवाई की चेतावनी जारी कर दी गई। इस पर शिकायतकर्ता अधिकारी ने ऐतराज जताया तो संस्थान के आला अधिकारियों ने पीएमओ से आई चिठ्ठी पर संज्ञान लिया। अब इस पूरे प्रकरण की जांच के लिए 18 मार्च को वरिष्ठ वैज्ञानिक एके सहाय की अध्यक्षता में कमेटी का गठन कर दिया गया है।

अनियमितताएं पूर्व की हैं। जांच कमेटी बैठा दी गई है। दोषियों के खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई की जाएगी। रक्षा संस्थान में किसी भी तरह की अनियमितता बर्दाश्त नहीं की जाएगी। वैसे कार्मिकों को इस तरह पीएमो तक नहीं जाना चाहिए।1डॉ. एसएस नेगी, निदेशक (आइआरडीई)

Manohar Parrikar tells DRDO to focues on core areas; says not to take up new projects

March 26, 2015 Prabhu 9 Comments

NEW DELHI: Most of the military systems it develops face time delays and cost escalation but ironically the one thing that the Defence Research and Development Organisation is considered good at by the armed forces – constructing buildings and executing civil works – is now being taken away.

Sending a clear message to India’s premier defence research agency to focus on its core functions, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has instructed that the organisation will no longer undertake civil and maintenance works of other departments, including entities like the Brahmos Missile Company and the Strategic Forces Command besides the three armed forces.

In a terse set of instructions to DRDO headquarters, Parrikar has ordered that the organisation shall no longer undertake any new civil or maintenance works projects with effect from March 12, choking a large portion of its independent revenue stream.

It is a lesser known facet of the organisation but DRDO has a works department that executes construction projects – from office buildings to missile storage units, launching areas and accommodation – worth over Rs 5,000 crore every year.

Beside projects for armed forces, DRDO has recently constructed the new AICTE headquarters in Delhi.

Section 66(A) Scrapped: Meet Shreya Singhal, Petitioner Who Fought for Net Freedom

Salute to Shreya Singhal – www.corruptionindrdo.com

NEW DELHI: The end of Section 66A, the controversial law that allowed arrests for offensive content online, marks a big victory for Shreya Singhal, the young law student who was among the first to challenge it in the Supreme Court.

“I am ecstatic. It was grossly offensive to our rights, our freedom of speech and expression and today the Supreme Court has upheld that,” Shreya told NDTV moments after the court scrapped the law, agreeing that it is unconstitutional and violates the rights of citizens.

“Nobody should have fear of putting up something because of the fear of going to prison. The court has upheld the rights of all citizens today,” she added.

Shreya comes from a family of lawyers; her mother is a Supreme Court lawyer and her grandmother was a judge.

She was 21 when she filed a petition in 2012, after two young women were arrested for posting comments critical of the total shutdown in Mumbai after the death of Bal Thackeray, the Shiv Sena chief.

Shreya says her family encouraged her. “I am also a law student so through my studies also I knew that you can approach the Supreme Court directly,” she said, aware that she has achieved, even before becoming a lawyer, what many veterans in the profession haven’t.

She spent three years studying astrophysics in the UK before returning to India to apply to law schools. Her attention was drawn to several high-profile arrests of people under Section 66A.

“It is being misused by BJP governments, Congress governments… all over the country. Even when the Congress was in power, it was being misused. Governments have their own political agenda; a law has to be for the people,” Shreya said.

The court today had strong words in support of that sentiment as it said, “Governments come and go. We can’t act on assurance that Section 66A will not be misused.”

PMO to replace existing public web-interface with new portal ‘PRAGATI’

pmo-to-replace-existing-public-web-interface-with-new-portal-pragati — **By categorising and sub-categorising themes and departments, the new portal will help users to be more specific in their complaints.**

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch a brand new website for public grievances on Wednesday. Corruption in central government seems to be the top concern as the PMO replaces the existing public web-interface for the prime minister with ‘PRAGATI’, the new portal. The portal is getting launched along with the PM’s monthly programme of interaction with union secretaries and chief secretaries through video-conferencing.

While the Manmohan Singh-era public grievances portal, “PMO CPGRAMS”, had a category on “corruption/malpractice”, the new one will go beyond the simple label. The corruption category will have nine sub-categories on its drop-down menu just to register complaints of corruption within various government departments.

The departments listed under the category of corruption are telecom, railways, department of financial services, ministry of power, petroleum, heavy industries, urban development, road transport, rural development and others. This could even be treated as a list of departments with the highest potential for corruption.

By categorising and sub-categorising themes and departments, the new portal will help users to be more specific in their complaints.

For instance, harassment is further sub-categorised into minorities, SC/ST, backward class, women, children, differently-abled and others. Also, the theme ‘police’ would have separate sub-categories for corruption, atrocities and inaction of police along with reguregular policing issues like murder and rape.

The new architecture has the back-end bureaucratic and technological support to ensure that these grievances are addressed and pursued to their logical conclusion.

All the issues flagged by the PMO will be uploaded a week ahead of the “PRAGATI day”, which will be the third Wednesday of every month. Union secretaries and chief secretaries will have to offer their comments and updates about the issues by the Monday prior to the PRAGATI day.

Finally, the PM will get to look at the issues addressed by the relevant departments and then discuss them with the concerned secretary or the chief secretary through video conferencing on the third Wednesday of every month. PM’s directions on every issue will remain in the system for further follow up and review till the issue is closed.

The portal is thus designed to keep every complainant engaged with the government machinery at the highest level and to ensure systemic corrections through the redressal of the complaints.

Continuously Manipulations in recruitment of scientists in Recruitment and Assessment Centre (RAC), Ministry of Defence, (DRDO).

To 24^th March 2015

Hon’ble Shri Manohar Parrikar, Defence Minister, Room No -104, South Block, New Delhi-110011

Subject: Continuously Manipulations in recruitment of scientists in Recruitment and Assessment Centre (RAC), Ministry of Defence, (DRDO).
Sir,

Since last 10 years lot of complaints were received by defence ministry regarding the manipulation, nepotism, recruitment of incompetent candidates by RAC, DRDO
Country already witnessed the degradation of DRDO output in several field including Kargil War and one of the major reason of downfall is below standard recruitments done by RAC.
After intervention of Ex Defence Minister 2 scientists recruitment was annulled by DRDO and more are in queue, same time minister also recommended vide Diary No. 14320 dated 24/102013 for CBI enquiry against 10 senior top scientists including two Ex SA to RM and also advice to rethink recruitment through UPSC to avoid all nonsense activities doing by RAC.
Dr. RK Jain, when he was mere Sc F, appointed Director, RAC, w.e.f. 1 March 2009. Without doing science he was promoted Sc ‘G then Sc H in 2013 ignoring GOI order of FCS.
RK Jain’s expertise are utilizing by most of Directors for nepotism and for other vested interest.
Recently Dr S C Sati, Director, ADRDE, Agra pushing a privilege to his loyal multidimensional, multitalented, supporting Ade Sh Vikas B Thakre, Sc F by helping him to recruit his wife Dr. Vandana V Thakre for the post of scientist E in DRDO.
A tailor made post was advertised with help of great manipulator Dr R K Jain for Dr. Vandana V Thakre, Interview is already completed, as per sources the selection was finalized within day or two it will be declare by RAC.
Presently Dr. Vandana V Thakre is working as associate professor in Madhav Institute of Technology and Science, Gwalior and Dr Sc Sati’s son Akshat is perusing his engineering in her guidance.
I think Sh Vikas B Thakre, Sc F inspired by Dr A K Sikdar, Sceitist G, HEMRL, Pune that his involved in writing/reviewing of his own wife Dr.Nirmla Sikdar, Scientist F and reporting her husband since last five years. Anything can happen in DRDO
These all involved scientists are not learn a lesson from Dr Arun Kumar, Ex DOP’s last minute suspension, his daughter;s 10 year service annulling, Dr. S M Veerabhadrappa, Director, DTRL charge sheeted and facing Departmental proceeding, Mrs T Chandrabanu, Sc F service annulled, Ms S Geetha, Sc D, DIPAS and Ms Dolly Bansal both are in queue, any time their service will be terminated. The queue is very long.
I would like to congratulate through you to Dr Vandana V Thakre, Sh Vikas B Thakre, Dr S C Sati and Dr R K Jain follow the footsteps of great corrupt Dr Arun Kumar, Dr W Selvamurthy etc.

Sir, we feel that in Modi ji era and your special selection as defence minister everyone in country start hopping that now the corruption/nepotism/favoritism will be end. The two major steps like termination of Sh Avinash Chander, and order for review and hold his last moment orders are giving us some light rays.

With great expectations of corrective measures.

It seems that DRDO losing its credibility of inventing sophisticated weapons and technologies for the well being of India. While BJP was at opposition, they made lot of cry by accusing UPA had compromised with safety of India. Now BJP begins to run the Defence Ministry with new defence mininster. But things are as usual.

It is well known that bangalore DRDO scientists have no work ; ADE is a place for leisure by employees who are supposed to be scientists . With excellent housing , no worth while work , these employees have already retired while in service like Bangalore ITI. What action was taken on Pune DRDO for spending Rs.5 crores for a temple chariot from defence funds GOK. Now SUVs. Will our no nonsense defence minister stop this nonsense , save defence precious funds and institute accountability on DRDO, ADE etc or close them all and save precious public funds .

Prime Minister’s Office,

New Delhi 110011

Hello,
Kindly provide me with the following information requested under the purview of the Right to Information Act, 2005 in respect of corrupt practices following by DRDO.

The applicants already filed hundreds of RTI s to DRDO with the aim of expose their corrupt practices earlier up to end of 2011 I have received 50% informations in the basis of those inputs, I have submitted some corruption complaints to CVC and other agencies partly the action were taken but from mid of 2013 I have only received 10% informations but no action taken on corruption exposures. Interestingly since end 2013 DRDO stopped giving any informations against RTI applications, whether it is related to corruption or human right. I tried to my best requested RTI with enclosed corruption evidences but to DRDO refuses to all RTI requests under section 24 (1). DRDO have no respect for constitutional provision of GOI.

The following information is requested with evidences which prima facie supported that Dr Tamilmani and other involved in corrupt practices. This information is requesting through PMO because we have faith on Sh Narendra Modi ji government and if, we will not get any response of this RTI than it is a confirmation that PMO is also in the grip of corrupt officers and Modi ji government has no meaning of RTI Act 2005.

Provide the information that Toyota Innova using by Dr K Tamilmani, DG AERO, Director, ADE and others are procured under Project Rustom II as Remote Video Terminal Vehicle as stated in Dr.Hina Gokhle, DHRD
Provide total Toyota Innova/Scorpios/Safaris in the financial 2012/13, 2013/14 & 2014/15 with nomenclature used, project names by DRDO.
Provide the numbers of Directors/establishment Heads/in-charges of various siblings of DRDO using red beacon on their vehicles.
Provide the total amount dispersed as transport allowance in financial year 2014/15 to Directors/establishment Heads/Program Directors/project Directors /in-charges of various siblings of DRDO

Note – The matter is directly related to corruption and not exempted under section 24 1 of RTI Act 2005
