29 Jun, 2014, 1430 hrs IST, PTI DRDO’s claim about being in a position toexport Light Combat Aircraft Tejas has been dismissed as premature and unrealistic by former top IAF officers.
NEW DELHI: DRDO’s claim about being in a position to export Light Combat Aircraft Tejas has been dismissed as premature and unrealistic by former top IAF officers, who want it to focus on getting the indigenous fighter plane inducted into own air force first.
“It is good to have ambitions but there are several miles to go before we can talk or think about exporting LCA.
“It is too early to talk about this as it has to be fist inducted into IAF before we take a decision on selling these planes,” former IAF chief Air Chief Marshal S Krishnaswamy said.
He was reacting to DRDO’s claim that it can sell light-weight multirole LCA to friendly foreign countries in future.
Krishnaswamy said DRDO and the country will have to be “realistic” as for exporting the aircraft. The country will have to make huge investments to create a new and big production line for mass production of these aircraft, he said.
The development of the home-grown fighter aircraft, which recently got ‘Initial Operational Clearance’ by IAF, has already taken 30 years at an estimated cost of over Rs 17,000 crore.
However, the induction is still awaited as IAF has not yet given the ‘Final Operation Clearance’. Production of the aircraft is estimated to push up the cost further.
Krishnaswamy said when it comes to exporting combat aircraft or helicopters, the seller has to provide long-term fleet support to the customer countries and “DRDO has no exposure to such fleet management practices”.
“We had exported some choppers to a country and one of them crashed during the national day parade of that particular nation.
“So, we should first focus on developing the aircraft for our own requirements and then think of other things,” he said.
Krishnaswamy said the first indigenously built bomber HF-24 Marut aircraft had to go through several modifications due to problems experienced in it even several years after it was inducted in IAF.
देहरादून। डीआरडीओ में वैज्ञानिकों की भर्ती में हुई धांधली में गाज गिरनी शुरू हो गई है। फर्जीवाड़े से संस्थान में नौकरी पाने वाली वरिष्ठ महिला वैज्ञानिक टी चंद्रा बानु को हटा दिया गया है। इस मामले में सेंट्रल विजलेंस कमीशन (सीवीसी) की जांच रिपोर्ट के बाद 2013 में तात्कालिक रक्षा मंत्री एके एंटनी ने सीबीआई जांच के आदेश दिए थे। डीआरडीओ ने महिला वैज्ञानिक की नियुक्ति समाप्त करने की पुष्टि तो की लेकिन कारणों का उल्लेख नहीं किया है।
पिछले साल सीवीसी को शिकायत मिली थी कि डीआरडीओ के दो पूर्व प्रमुख सहित कुछ वरिष्ठ वैज्ञानिकों ने अपने रिश्तेदारों को वैज्ञानिक पद पर नियुक्ति देने में नियमों को नजरअंदाज किया है। इस मामले में तीन महिला वैज्ञानिकों की नियुक्ति पर सवाल उठाए गए थे। सीवीसी ने तीन महिला वैज्ञानिकों की नियुक्ति में अपनाई प्रक्रिया की जांच की, जिनके रिश्तेदार पहले से डीआरडीओ में वरिष्ठ पदों पर तैनात थे। हालांकि जिन अधिकारियों पर आरोप हैं उनमें से अधिकांश संस्थान से रिटायर हो चुके हैं। जांच के बाद नियुक्ति में नियमों को नजरअंदाज करने की रिपोर्ट सीवीसी ने बीते वर्ष दी थी। रिपोर्ट में शिकायतों में दिए गए तथ्यों को सही ठहराया गया था, जिसके बाद नवंबर 2013 में रक्षा मंत्री एके एंटनी ने इस मामले में सीबीआई जांच के आदेश दिए थे।
डीआरडीओ के निदेशक और प्रवक्ता रवि कुमार गुप्ता को महिला वैज्ञानिक टी चंद्रा बानु को हटाने के संबंध में भेजी ई-मेले के जवाब में उन्होंने इसकी पुष्टि की है। गुप्ता ने लिखा है कि संस्थान ने महिला वैज्ञानिक टी चंद्रा बानु की डीआरडीओ की नियुक्ति समाप्त कर दी है।
रिश्तेदारों को नियुक्ति देने में नियमों को ताक पर रखने का आरोप लगा था शिकायत मिलने के बाद सीवीसी ने जांच कर दी अपनी रिपोर्ट तात्कालिक रक्षा मंत्री ने दिए थे सीबीआई जांच के आदेश क्या है जांच रिपोर्ट में
जिस महिला वैज्ञानिक की नियुक्ति समाप्त की गई है उसकी में उम्र, शैक्षणिक योग्यता, अनुभव के नियमों में रियायत देने की सीवीसी ने अपनी रिपोर्ट में उल्लेख किया है। 2008 में महिला वैज्ञानिक के पति डीआरडीओ में एक उच्च पद पर तैनात थे उसी समय उसे साइंटिस्ट एफ पद पर नियुक्ति दी गई थी। इसके अलावा दो अन्य महिला वैज्ञानिकों की नियुक्ति में अनियमितताएं बरतने का आरोप है। मामला अभी सीबीआई में विचाराधीन है, लेकिन डीआरडीओ ने आरोपियों की सेवाएं समाप्त करने की प्रक्रिया शुरू कर दी है। नियुक्ति में नियमों को नजरअंदाज करने की रिपोर्ट सीवीसी ने बीते वर्ष दी थी। रिपोर्ट में शिकायतों में दिए गए तथ्यों को सही ठहराया गया था, जिसके बाद नवंबर 2013 में रक्षा मंत्री एके एंटनी ने इस मामले में सीबीआई जांच के आदेश दिए थे। डीआरडीओ के निदेशक और प्रवक्ता रवि कुमार गुप्ता को महिला वैज्ञानिक टी चंद्रा बानु को हटाने के संबंध में भेजी ई-मेले के जवाब में उन्होंने इसकी पुष्टि की है। गुप्ता ने लिखा है कि संस्थान ने वैज्ञानिक टी चंद्रा बानु की डीआरडीओ की नियुक्ति समाप्त कर दी है।

Hyderabad: A senior DRDO official suffered injuries after he was attacked with a razor blade by a juvenile pickpocket on Sunday who managed to escape even after being caught for stealing a cell phone in the crowded Charminar area.
Regional Director of a Koraput-based DRDO unit R K Satpathy, who suffered injuries below his chest after the teenager attacked him with a blade, was immediately rushed to a government hospital and his condition was stated to be out of danger, police said.
A group of 15 officials of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) had come to the city to attend a seminar.
Satpathy, along with his colleagues, went to the Charminar area for sight-seeing and shopping, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South Zone) Sarvashresth Tripathi said.
Taking advantage of the crowded area, a 16-year-old boy snatched a cell phone from the pocket of Satpathy’s colleague Logaonkar.
His other colleagues and some locals immediately chased the teenager and caught him and handed over the boy to Satpathy, the DCP told PTI.
“After catching the teenager, who is a pickpocket and addicted to sniffing whitener, they alerted the police. Even as Satpathy was holding the boy he took out a shaving blade and attacked him and fled away,” Tripathi explained.
“The DRDO official was immediately rushed to a government hospital and his condition was out of danger,” the senior police official said.
The boy, whose identification has been established, was recently arrested in a chain-snatching case and for quarrelling with a local person, though he was out on bail, police said.
Hussaini Alam Police booked a case on charge of attempt to murder and other charges under the relevant sections of the IPC in connection with the incident and launched a hunt to nab the juvenile.
The Regional Director of Regional Centre for Military Airworthiness was on a visit here, said Ravi Kumar Gupta, Director, Directorate of Public Interface, DRDO.
The incident has nothing to do with “DRDO affairs,” he said.
Satpathy was rushed to a hospital. “He is out of danger,” Gupta added.

विषय : डीआरडीओ में ताजमहलो का निर्माण
माननीय श्री प्रधानमंत्री जी डीआरडीओ में रक्षा प्रणालीयो के अनसुन्धान व् निर्माण के नाम पर जो लूट मची है उस के कई उदाहरण समय समय पर अखबारों के माध्यम से आम जनो को पता चलता रहता है परन्तु वास्तविकता यह है कि इन सभी खबरों को राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा के नाम पर दबा दिया जाता है
ब्रह्मोस कम्पनी की उत्पति सन 1998 से आज तक उप्लभ्धि पर नजर डाले तो हज़ारों करोड़ रूपए खर्चेने के बाद भी सिवाए टेस्ट फायर के खबरों कुछ भी यथार्थ में नहीं मिलेगा असली उप्लभ्धि है श्री पिल्लई का सन 2007 से अब तक सात बरसों का सर्विस में एक्सटेंशन, लाखो रूपए खर्च करके अपना होलोग्राम बनवाया, अपनी नाम की गैलेरी बनवायी, अपनी आत्म कथा लिखने पर जनता का पैसा खर्च करा, लाखो रूपए के ब्रह्मोस मिसाइल के लकड़ी के माडल बनवाए, लाखो रूपए विदेशो में डिफेन्स एक्सपो के नाम पर विदशो में खर्च किये एक पैसे का आज तक आर्डर नहीं मिला, क्या हमारे देश में सेल्फ मोरल नाम की चीज़ वास्तव में खो गयी है, अब जाकर जब श्री पिल्लई के दोस्त की सरकार गयी तो ब्रह्मोस कम्पनी को नया सी ई औ मिल रहा है, पर क्या पंद्रह सालो में जो श्री पिल्लई ने देश का पैसा बर्बाद किया उसका हिसाब हमारे प्रधान मंत्री जी श्री पिल्लई से मांगेगे I
डीआरडीओ सन 1990 से मिसाइल के नाम पर हज़ारों करोड़ रूपए खर्च कर रहा है देश को जानकर यह आश्चर्य होगा कि डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिको ने मिसाइल को एक होली काऊ बना कर जम कर दोह रहे हैं अगर मात्र डी आर डी एल हैदराबाद संस्था का स्पेशल ऑडिट करा लिया जाय तो पुरे डीआरडीओ के स्वास्थ्य का पता देश को चल जायेगा I
उदाहरण के लिए – एक लगभग 8 मीटर x 12 मीटर का गोदाम डी आर डी एल हैदराबाद ने 19 जून 2014 को बड़े साज सज्जा के साथ उद्घाटन किया ( गोदाम की फोटो सलग्न है ) कुल लागत लगभग आठ करोड़
गोदाम की लागत – दो करोड़ पिचासी लाख
गोदाम के अंदर लोहे की रैक – दो करोड़ पचास लाख
गोदाम के अंदर संचालन हेतु दो बैटरी ऑपरेटेड फोर्क लिफ्ट व् प्लेटफार्म ट्रक – नब्बे लाख व् एक करोड़ बीस लाख
गोदाम के अंदर रखे सामान के जानकारी हेतु बारकोड सॉफ्टवेयर – सतर लाख
गोदाम का एयर कंडीशनर आदि – एक करोड़ से अधिक
गोदाम के अंदर फायर फाइटिंग का कोई प्रावधान नहीं दिया है I
जिस कांट्रेक्टर से गोदाम का निर्माण करवाया उसने आर्डर से दो महीने पूर्व ही कार्य आरम्भ कर दिया था I (गोदाम का निर्माण के कार्य सम्बन्ध की सम्पूर्ण सूचनाये सलग्न है)
आप से आग्रह है कि अगर आप गुजरात के किसी व्यापारी बंधू से गोदाम की लागत निकलवाएंगे तो सिर्फ एक करोड़ रूपये की लागत आएगी और हो सकता है उससे भी कम आए I
अतः आपसे अनुरोध है कि डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिको को रक्षा प्रणालीयो के अनसुन्धान के नाम पर देश को लूटने से बचाये I

Hyderabad: In a shocking incident, unknown assailants stabbed the Assistant Director of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in the old city area here today .
The victim scientist, identified as Satyapathi was rushed to Hyderabad’s Osmania Hospital where he is undergoing treatment.
More details awaited
DRDO RTI Cell is acting as a blind body. Since RTI Act, 2005’s implementation, DRDO felt its power and put all efforts to get rid off but success was partial, Schedule – II exemption did not include the corruption and Human rights allegations and subsequently CIC also gave guidelines that, day to day administration and management matters are also not exempted.
This CIC supports give honest officials and citizen an immense power to fight against neck deep corruption/nepotism/favoritism prevailing in DRDO.
Cases started to expose the corrupt practice of senior DRDO officials in various matters like recruitment/promotions/procurements, etc and action started against corrupt officials by Defence Minister, CVO, CVC, etc
The DRDO management now come under desperation and looking after to fix those who are trying to expose the corrupt senior officers, few terminated/dismissed, few transferred, few deprived with promotions, a message was passed among the DRDO officials/employees, that if any one seeks RTI, he should be ready to face consequences and it is established that facts that DRDO management extensively used unwritten policy not give promotions or due credits to those who are involved in RTI acts practices.
It is a clear cut message to the nation that DRDO top management is a dishonest corrupt and not working in the interest of the nation because it is not committed towards the constitution of India.
On 8th March 2014, Dr. R B Sharma, CPIO, DRDO Hqrs acted as a super boss and sent a letter to all Labs/ Establishments of DRDO to not give any information under RTI Act, 2005.
On 28thMay, 2005 a meeting was held under DRDO transparency officer Dr. Sudershan Kumar, DS and CC R&D (PC & SI). In that he told to all DRDO’s CPIO not to supply any information under RTI Act-2005. It can be verified by records of DRDO’s RTI cell that no information was passed after this decision to any RTI applicant.
That all RTI applicants receiving reply in the same format which was supplied by DRDO RTI Cell and First appellate authority reply was also given by DRDO in same format.
Surprisingly the following case of Dr. R G Taware, Ex- Technical Officer ‘B’ was to show the blind act of DRDO’s RTI cell.
Dr. R G Taware, Ex- Technical Officer ‘B’ was illegally dismissed by DRDO management with conspiracy. The conspiracy was proved by single point DRDO used then RRM, Sh Palam Raju for suspension and after dismissal and material fact is that RRM, Sh Palam Raju nor has the power for such approval, because as per Ministry of Defence orders of power delegation by Defence Minster shows he has never delegated such powers to RRM, Sh. Palam Raju specially for DRDO.
Dr. R G Taware, Ex- Technical Officer ‘B’ suspension /dismissal orders one of major allegation was “The tone and tenor of letter of Dr. R G Taware dated 26 Aug 2009”
Dr. R G Taware send an RTI request to CPIO, HEMRL, Pune, information sought that DRDO scientists developed a machine which can measure “The tone and tenor of any letter”, he asked whether scientist got any award and promotions for this great innovation.
The Blind DRDO RTI cell replied in a standard format “ You hereby inform that DRDO is placed in second schedule of RTI Act and exempted from disclosure of Information under Section 24 (1) exceptpertaining to the allegation of corruption and human right violations”( copy enclosed)
Further after getting above reply from BLIND DRDO RTI Cell, Dr. R G Taware sent first appeal to FAA, DRDO to check their IQ.
Interestingly the height of blindness of DRDO RTI cell or to hell with RTI same standard reply send by FAA on the issue that “You hereby inform that DRDO is placed in second schedule of RTI Act and exempted from disclosure of Information under Section 24 (1) exceptpertaining to the allegation of corruption and human right violations” (copy enclosed)
Great DRDO RTI cell proved their scientific capability in this RTI application replies – can the common Indian believe these DRDO scientists caliber for defence preparedness ??????????????

Reference: (i) My letter dated 16 April 2014 to Prime Minister with subject “Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO”
(ii) PMO reply ID No. 10/3/2014-PMP1/30140 dated 19th May 2014
(iii) DoPT Letter No.6/1/2014-IR dated 6/6/2014 copy to Sh Kaushal Kishor Pandey, SO, PMO, New Delhi
Honorable Sir,
www.corruptionindrdo.com continues to expose the corruption/nepotism prevailing in DRDO since the last four years. DRDO’s honest officials send corruption inputs from all DRDO establishments and with help of RTI’s and from internet information, the corruption inputs are regularly passed to the government and relevant agencies like CVC, IB, CBI etc.
www.corruptionindrdo.com’s efforts recognized by honest officials of DRDO and website regularly getting corruption/nepotism inputs from each and every corner of the country. On basis of the points raised by the website, DRDO also took several corrective measures and constituted inquiry committees for examining the truths.
In my 16th April 2014 letter I have requested Honorable Prime Minister to kindly take appropriate corrective measures against officials who are involved in unconstitutional acts and give strength to RTI- Act 2005. It has really empowered the common man. Also, fix those who are diluting the effectiveness of the strong RTI Act -2005.
The online RTI portal “Guideline – An applicant who desires to obtain any information under the RTI Act 2005 can make a request through this RTI Online Portal to only the Central Public Authorities of main Ministries/Departments located at New Delhi initially”. In the first phase, this facility is available to Ministries/Departments/Apex Bodies mentioned in the list available in ‘GUIDELINES’, but there is no list available in RTI portal. Like Defence Ministry having several offices in New Delhi
Sir, I have received a letter from DoPT Letter No.6/1/2014-IR dated 6/6/2014 copy to Sh Kaushal Kishor Pandey, SO, PMO, New Delhi in respect of reply my letter dated 16 April 2014 to Prime Minister with subject “Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO”
In DoPT letter Sh R K Girdhar, Under Secretary (RTI) stated that “if you not satisfied with the reply of CPIO, may filed appeal before the first appellate authority in the same public authority u/s 19(i) of the RTI Act 2005” it seems that the letter forwarded by PMO was not even read by Sh R K Girdhar. It shows the seriousness of DoPT regarding RTI issues or Sh R K Girdhar just trying to shield the nodal officer.
I have enclosed the remark of nodal officer not CPIO that they have returned with “You have filed more than 40 online RTI applications relating to DRDO on the address of Department of Defence which has been physically transferred to DRDO under intimation to you. DRDO is a separate public authority and is also placed under Second Schedule of the RTI Act, 2005. Therefore, your online RTI applications seeking information in r/o the DRDO and sent to Department of Defence will not be acted upon henceforth. You may directly send your application to the DRDO for the information.”
Sh R K Girdhar, just overlooked the letter contents and send regular fixed reply without applying any mind. I don’t know RTI Act 2005 is a serious responsibility or just for feeding papers.
Sir, after exposing the corruption / nepotism of DRDO’s senior officials because RTI Act-2005. Some officials suspended, some got charge sheet and some are in queue. Now DRDO officials are trying to make a wall for RTI Act 2005. Recently an unconstitutional letter issued by Dr. R B Sharma, CPIO, DRDO, Hqrs Cell on 8th March 2014 to all establishment/Lab show that they clearly made their policy not to give any RTI reply. (Copy enclosed) As per Sh R K Girdhar in one RTI reply in reference to that “any CPIO can compel to other CPIO not to give information under RTI” he stated that “There is no such policy of compelling or a CPIO being compelled by other PIO for not providing information to the information seeker. A PIO can be penalized by Information Commission under Section 20 of the RTI Act, 2005.”
Further in 28th May 2005 a meeting was held under DRDO transparency officer Dr. Sudershan Kumar, DS and CC R&D (PC & SI). In that he told to all DRDO’s CPIO not to supply any information under RTI Act-2005. It can be verified by records of DRDO RTI cell that no information was passed after this decision to any RTI applicant.
DRDO is in neck deep corruption/ nepotism/ favoritism and the reason being this DRDO is unproductive since last 15-20 years, don’t believe their data and dabas because when our forces will be ready to accept those then only our country will believe on DRDO, otherwise it will be only ok for 26 January republic show tableau .
In view of the above, I request you Sir, the RTI is the only effective way to restrict corruption in DRDO. Please give directives to DRDO & DoPT to honor the RTI act 2005 in the right spiritto promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority.
