British Culture revives in DRDO

8^th October 2010

Dear Dr  Saraswat Ji Good Morning

Recently the nation celebrated the birthday of father of nation, people called him Bapu, the warrior without gun or proper uniform known as Mahatma Gandhi.

Hope while sitting in your office you will remember him for his simplicity and able leadership. He becomes idol for poor’s not for those who are getting salary! lakh+ and delivering nothing.

The officer comes from diverse background one thing is common i.e. ego. Mahatma Gandhi buried his ego but the ego become symbol of prosperity, people having poor background and origin to a remote village if by chance they become Scientists/Officer in DRDO revived the British Culture.

A poor man son belonging to a remote place of UP, when became director, DEAL, DRDO revived the British Raj Culture in DEAL, Dehradun, since November 2007. In a journey from charge man to director, he noticed the status of serving directors in DRDO and accumulated all the negative qualities and always thought getting opportunity one day he will realize it in principle.

Currently 12-16 conservancy staff headed by a Technical Officer Sh Rajiv Verma reaches to his residence in the morning 6’ocloak to say good morning Sir. They spent the day in cleaning of utensil, to clothes, to dig the field, growing the vegetables, but their salaries being paid by poor tax payers money. The corridors of DEAL premises are full of foul smells, they are not cleaned but the cleaning and kitchen garden of director’s residence has become the talk of town.

The same conservancy people/daily wages laborer who were suppose to get EPF benefit are deprived off due to the ignorance shown by Sh RC Aggarwal because the beneficiaries are  agarwal brothers (The contractor, Sh Hemant Gupta, HMM etc) When a senior responsible officer objected for this practice of ignoring EPF clause 9 The fundamental rights of the laborer it remain unheeded.

There are many things going on in DEAL which can be compared with British Raj Period. Britishers ignore the Indians because they were outsiders, but here the exploiters are our own brothers.

The size of his ego has even hurt the SA to RM (as CC & coordinator), the PMO project SPIC wanted communication assistance from then director DEAL & it was extended but Sh RC Agarwal wanted to show his supremacy to director, SPIC, withdrew the support until you discussed with him personally at development enclave. (Hope you remember the episode)

Ignorance of important national deference program NVIS, you have already noticed.

I hope next time when you visit DEAL you will be offered genetically clean, organic vegetables from directors residence. Please do not forget the precious vegetable gift from Sh RC Agarwal.
