Dear Dr  Saraswat Ji Good Morning

DRDO implemented corporate culture and as CEO of this corporate you cannot deny that directors are not accessible to you. They work as independent authority. When it comes to avail the recommendation of central government, if it benefits them they honor you and obey you, otherwise the local rules they have made in all the 52 Labs.

Under SEPTEM the limited departmental exam were held to recruit the STA’ (Qualification is Diploma/B.SC for a recognized university/institution). Rajasthan Vidya Peeth provide degree/diploma without the personal presence of the individual and the reorganization of these course are under controversy. People are paying money and get benefited in DRDO by submitting these fake diploma/degrees.

There was rule in DRDO that when the written exam to use to held the results were declared on the following day and by evening the oral interviews used to decide the final selection to be display by evening to avoid the irregularities in recruitment this practice has been diluted the money has been played an important role people are minting money and selected only those candidate who had suitably fetched the money.

In IRDE Mr Chander Pal ( BPMS leader) when objected such irregularities. IRDE management taking care, however in DEAL, sh. R.C.Aggarwal being money oriented waited for fortnight until the fish was caught.  – will you please ensure the fair selection mechanism so that DRDO grow with genuine manpower and will able to deliver proper product to services. – Jaihind

Thanking you

Dear Dr  Saraswat Ji Good Morning

After Pokhran DRDO encased the US sanction. For each and every project activity requirements were raised to purchase systems/sub systems/ test & measurement instruments/ components from the European states/countries of Soviet Union Russia, Ukraine, Belarus etc. were identified as source of suppliers and with the blessing of then SA to RM, every month more than 200 scientists visited the institutes, universities, agencies and small venders to purchase the required items. In every movement explanation were given that project will be held if Russian market were not explored as US & Japan had imposed sanction.

In DEAL, Dehradun Dr AS Bains was then director. He also did some adventurous purchases with the help of his courtier Capt. P.K.Shukla (presently  director management services,DRDO), Col J.K.Sharma(now retd),Sh K Siva Kumat(now Sc’G’,DEAL), Sh RP Dixit(now Sc’G’DEAL),  Sh Ashok Kumar(now Sc’G’DEAL),  Sh Hemant Gupta(now Sc’F’& HMM, DEAL) under Focal Plane Array project (knowing full  well the limitation of millimeter wave less than 100 meter range), 99% of components/subsystems/system and test measurement instruments were procured from Belarus/ Ukraine & European countries.

In one of the procurement case of 94 GHz Network Analyzer, along with three scientist Dr.Bains visited the institute of Belarus and selected above network analyzer for FPA project. The item received by DEAL was not the item available off the shelf, instead it was a prototype model developed by a post graduate student for his assignment.

The item was inspected & found OK, clearance was given for final payment(1 corer+). But the system was not working properly and when the expert open the system presuming that may be the fuse was gone he found a Plier holding the connector from inside. The system off course did not work but the Plier given opportunity to Sh Hemant Gupta (presently HMM in DEAL) to carry it personally to Belarus to hand over to the institute.

“How IMC, Israel was loser”

In DEAL Dr AS Bains at the helm of affairs looking for a antenna for portable satellite terminal. International market was searched and IMC, Israel product found suitable, Dr Bains & Col JK Sharma were visited Israel to convince the IMC that there will be bulk requirement of antennas for Indian defence services the price negotiation was done.  IMC Israel agreed to deliver the antenna for Rupees 20000+ each as the product value in the international market was in the similar range. Col Sharma sat with the IMC and convinced them to quote at 1.5 lakh per antenna with the engineering that the specs will be changed to show the customization and DEAL will procured same as propriety basis. And the excess amount should be deposit by IMC to Dr.Bain’s UK account (Dr.As Bains is UK citizen and presently he is in UK after retirement). The deal was finalized and IMC, Israel supplied the antennas by compromising the ethics of business. The company also received the repeat order, however at the third time due to excess corrupt practice of Dr.Bains DRDO denied for proprietary procurement. And Global tender was raised for the same antenna with same specs. But this time a local firm from Dehradun was L-1 with Rupees 32000+. Since the IMC did not qualify so the tender was cancelled by Dr.Bains. Again with some fake and some European companies address the file was raised with limited tender. But this time again one UK company was L-1 with Rs 42000 and Dr.Bains had no choice left and order was given to UK firm.

Finally the IMC Israel was looser as the firm come in the trap of DRDO’s corrupt officials’.

Now you are requested to open your eyes & ear. DEAL have same set of people well trained by Dr.Bains/Col Sharma/Capt Shukla to work SDR’s 100 corers project. Sh RC Aggarwal with all his leap frog mentality is a fly. He chosen and placed five project directors and five project manager in SDR project, where only software simulation is done at DEAL. The hardware development will be negotiated and outsource by these same set of well trained experts – Jaihind

(ref- http://www.spacesecurityprogramme.org/programme.php?section=5)

I sought through RTI from CPIO, DRDO regarding the Temporary Duty details of Dr R Sreehari Rao and TD details of DRDO persons  as follows vide my RTI request of 4^th June 2010 & 8^th June 2010

With Reference to Dr R Sreehari Rao, CC R&D (ECS), DRDO Hqrs.

1.    After taking his charge as CC R&D (ECS) , how many days he stayed in DRDO Hqrs Delhi up to 31^st March 2010

2.    How many temporary duties to Hyderabad he had been with total stay at Hyderabad

3.      How much in total TA/DA he has drawn year wise from his joining as CC R&D (ECS) up to  31^st March 2010

With reference to DRDO employees & staff

1.    Total number of DRDO official and staff that went on temporary duty to Hyderabad from DRDO Hqrs and other all DRDO Labs/Establishments on 31^st May 2010 & 1^st June 2010.

2.    Total amount of TA/DA spent on these DRDO officials and staff went to temporary duty to Hyderabad on 31^st May 2010 & 1^st June 2010.

3.    Reason/cause of each official’s temporary duty to Hyderabad of these DRDO officials and staff.

Both the RTI request were denied by CPIO vide letter no  DITTM/02/2091/P/2010 dated 18^th June 2010

Sir,
As I am aggrieved by decision/no decision of Central Public Information Officer, I hereby file this appeal for your kind decision.

Today’s 20^th July 2010 Times of India front page  “60 dies as speeding train rams another”

People are raising doubts about railway minister quoting “ You have a minister whose attention is elsewhere and the country is paying the price for that”

In this particular case I requested the TD details who posted at Delhi and their residence is in Hyderabad or Bangalore and frequent visit to a particular destination on Government expenses require to justify and as to how much it was beneficial to the organization and how much to the officer especially when he belongs to that particular destination.

I requested information of such senior officials who are posted in DRDO Hqrs or Delhi’s Lab, and most of time they took their breakfast in their Hyderabad/Bangalore residence and lunch in DRDO Hqrs and evening for dinner they were again back to their residence. Please the TD details and then decide.

The frequent move availability of the officer in the Hqrs. station may lead to problem of command and control and discipline, which may hamper the progress and led to undue delay and time and cost overrun to ongoing projects of DRDO.

How can the armed forces expect trustworthy products from these so called senior scientists?

Under the chairmanship of DRDO’s Appellate Authority, so called expert of DRDO Hqrs, DRDL, Hyderabad and DEAL, Dehradun met on 16^th July 2010 at First Appellate Authority’s Office and decided not to give single information to RTI requester but only to reply to obstruct the giving of correct information to RTI requester they wasted lot of public money on TA/DA for said government officials who attended the said meeting from Hyderabad and Dehradun.

Camouflage of exemption under schedule –II of RTI Act 2005 has been deliberately taken to circumvent to deny the required information.

The DRDO Appellate Authority Dr. Prahlada, CC R&D (Ae & SI) & DS has not given his residence address and contact details in any documents or website or any other public domain. It is therefore considered that he is staying in DRDO Bhawan itself.  The CPIO and FAA of DRDO Hqrs both are on their posting at DRDO Hqrs,   staying in DRDO Guest House and drawing

7. Brief facts of the case

The information sought for is not related to end senior officer in his individual/personal capacity but in his capacity being a public authority.

Too frequent visit to a particular destination on Government expenses require to justified and as to how much it was beneficial to the organization and how much to the officer specially when he belongs to that particular destination. It appears that the permanent residence is his Hqrs and place of posting is a temporary duty station. The frequent move availability of the officerin the hqr station may lead to problem of command and control and discipline, which may hamper the progress and led to undue delay and time and cost overrun to ongoing projects of DRDO.

In this particular case I requested the TD details of Dr R Sreehari Rao, CC R&D (ECS) (who is staying C-7 Qutab Enclav, DRDO guest house since his posting to DRDO Hqrs, for him most of time he took his breakfast in his Hyderabad residence and lunch in DRDO Hqrs and evening for dinner he was again back to his Hyderabad residence. Please see his TD detail and then decide.

To guard the personal interest DRDO, Directors/ officers do not hesitate to spend Govt. funds in TA/DA for private journey specially to attend marriage parties of children of their immediate boss. (Recently more than 110 officers from various DRDO labs attended the marriage party of Dr. R. Sreehari Rao, CC R&D’s daughter’s wedding at Hyderabad)

Please arrange the marriage reception video you will find the large presence of DRDO official who were present there in the name of so call meetings. Some loyal officers went there on LTC and few were cancelled their TD’s when question was raised by some responsible DRDO employees. The cancellations itself proof of the how important was that said meeting in Hyderabad.

There more 9-10 CC R&D and Directors who are belongs to Hyderabad and Bangalore and their families are staying Hyderabad and Bangalore respectively and they all are staying in DRDO guest houses they are giving their residence address in telephone directory at DRDO guest houses and enjoying HRA also. They are frequent fliers, they all are already break the Milkha Singh ‘s (Flying Sikh of India)  records and relishing without fear with TD with poor tax payers money.

8. Reasons/grounds for this appeal:
i) It is clear cut case of corruption and nepotism and misappropriation of public funds.

ii) A holistic approach of expose the DRDO’s culture of Temporary duty Funda

Sh.S. Sundaresh, Appellate Authority of DRDO’s reply for above appeal

1.       Sh.S. Sundaresh, Appellate Authority, CC R&D (ACE) & DS, DRDO Hqrs took charge on 3^rd August 2010 and you have decided and dispose of the 16 different matter’s different subjects appeals in single decision on 16^th August 2010, as you have given the responsibility of appellate authority but you are also holding the main responsibility of CC R&D (ACE) of 81000 crores infrastructure with 30000 work force DRDO empire. I am not able to understand your high capability or you just passed the order like rubber stamp.

2.      It is mentioned in your decision that you are performing the role of quasi- judiciary. It is requested that your decision should have been passed by application of mine  in a judicious manner of my each and every appeal should have been decided separately by passing of separate reasons together with mentioning the relevant documents/grounds which were relied upon by you in deciding each of my appeal.

3.      In each and every appeal refers to you specified the reasons and documents in support of my appeals; nothing has been on mention about in your said decision.

4.      While deciding the appeal in quasi-judicial matter the reasons must be recorded in support of such decision. It is because the aggrieved party may make grievances to the superior authority that the reasons recorded by the appellate authority were nonexistent, extraneous, irrelevant and extra. Successful party on the other hand may support the reason recorded by first appellate authority in his favor.

5.      So that the superior authority may also consider whether the reasons recorded by the appellate authority in support of the decision passed by it were in accordance of law. Whether interference is called for, if the decision is without any reasons, several questions may arise and it will be difficult for the parties to the proceeding as well as the superior authority to decide the matter.

6.      With my appeal have you review the documentary evidences and letter no reference, the IB reports, news paper clips, the DRDO letters references, I am surprised that you did not dare to mention any one of them.

7.      Enumerated in each and every appeal, it is required to kindly review the case and pass the decision after the application of mine  and recorded the reason and grounds in support of your decision in this connection it is considered that one way or other. It is therefore submitted that it would be appropriate and desirable to review your decision keeping in mind the facts and circumstances as. So that it is not consider that, it was not an exercise of power by appellate authority in abuse.

Corruption – Giving or obtaining advantage through means which are illegitimate, immoral, and/or inconsistent with one’s duty or the rights of others. Corruption often results from patronage.

Corruption undermines social and economic stability. It threatens security and damages trust and public confidence in systems which affect people’s daily lives, its hidden costs immense.

Corruptness: lack of integrity or honesty,   use of a position of trust for dishonest gain. Misuse of government power

DRDO corruption: comes under the criminality and the abuse of power by DRDO  officials, either internally or externally The abuse of public power, office, or resources by government officials or employees for personal gain.

Honorable Sardar Manmohan Singh ji Vande Mantaram

As whistle blower I raised certain issues pertaining to misconducts, misinterpretation of rules, and misappropriation of precious tax payer’s money by directors of DRDO labs. As a result, as was expected the department gave me CRS and I in turn donated all my financial benefits to PM relief’s fund presuming that some sensitive officer in PMO will take note of this conditional donation and issued directives to Ministry of Defence (DRDO) for corrective measures. However in a country of 125 crores people when the corruption is touching all time high, we have left behind Romania this insensitiveness was not unusual.

I sought through RTI those scientists who are doing non scientific work in DRDO for years, how come the department has giving them special incentives as recommended by six pay commission for the scientific work. DRDO in turn replied that subject matter come under schedule-II and information denied.

Through RTI I sought the qualification of scientists F,G,H, Distinguished Scientist, Out Standing Scientist and how many international papers was published by them or any other significant contribution by them  the reply given was same DRDO exempted in schedule-II of RTI Act 2005.

Showing such disrespect to Indian constitution and using certain decision of pay commission recommendation for personal benefits, ignoring certain decision which has been issued specially for them has become a practice.

It is very interesting to note that DoPT has issued fresh instructions as was given in news paper. Those scientists who are not doing scientific work and are engaged in admin, stores and allied work will not be given scientific incentives.

The news paper says six pay commission had recommended that for promotion from scientist E to further  higher grade the essential requirement is to publication of scientific papers, patents, scientific invention  and popper scientific  contribution with 5 year field work experience with users.

It is my request to PMO is if pay commission recommendation were implemented in 2006 and people have availed the benefits. Extra money  paid to ineligible scientists  working as non scientific work like admin, stores and allied work should be recovered from them.

The news paper says that the scientists engaged in simple paper work and consuming 100 of crores rupees they are not delivering any product useful to the defence. Such scientific activity should banned, if certain items are available in international market then what is the use of investing 100 of crores, instead the Govt. can procure these items. As has been done in the case of Brahmos missiles which was procured on TOT (Technology Transfer) and today we are capable to sell it to the world market.

DRDO should work on these lines and take only those area where no super power spares the technology, like Cryogenic Engine, Generation of NON Nuclear EMP, Hardening of our own equipments against NEMP/NON NEMP (From 10 KHz – 5 GHz), Seizing & freezing the auto engine from a safe distance to counter fidayeen attack and at lat but not least Deep sea (400m-500m) submarine communication technology to strengthen of our Naval power.

With the passage of time DRDO scientist, administrators, directors of labs have become insensitive to the national cause and they are ignoring  national security aspect. It is because there is no accountability; of course people are getting plus 1 lakh per month salary. The level of insensitiveness is such that the directors of DRDO labs do not see eye to eye, they do not have respect to each other,  they do not support/exchange scientific information to each other. In fact for crucial national security aspect they bargain foreign trips even though his technical presence is not needed.

As   you are aware that DRDO directors “bite more than they chew”. Only God or you can motivate them to do some useful work for the nation’s sake.

Jaihind

Dear Dr  Saraswat Ji  Jaihind 15th August 2010
India is celebrating 64th Independence Day and on the midnight of 14th August 1947 Pt Nehru said “Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge”. During this period there have been many developments but corruption and nepotism now have deep roots in the system.
DRDO has seen many stalwarts as Scientific Adviser to RM and Dr. Kalam become President of India, prior to him Prof.MGK Menon, Dr Raja Ramanna became MP & Minister. I pray to almighty that you should find the same path, not like Dr. Atre or Mr Natrajan who vanished from the scene because they encourage corruption and nepotism in the DRDO system.
Today unilaterally, single handling you can’t fight with corruption and nepotism which has deep roots in the DRDO system. However, history of India says that a person if declares himself accountable to his duties and performs according to the wish of common people, which is the national interest, the corruption and nepotism, will melt like ice from the heat of nationalism.
Even if 120 crores people will raise their figure against me, I will continues to fight against corruption and nepotism prevailing in DRDO until I am breathing. I request you to make corruption and nepotism as common cause and fight along with me.
I know your mission and goal to strengthen the Indian defence by leading projects/programs with an aim of self reliance. Your magnanimity, your generosity and straightforwardness has been appealing to the chiefs of three services.
Sir, it is your bounden duty to immediately initiate two most demanding project which are the need of time.
•    Seizing & freezing the auto engine from a safe distance to counter fidayeen attack.
•    Deep sea (400m-500m) submarine communication technology for mission mode operation
America, Russia and China are the only three countries having the technology for submarine deep sea communication. India has INS Kattabomman for communication which can only penetrate 30-40 meter depth.
DRDO has given a dream to the people of India to become superpower in 2020. Thus your responsibility has doubled and it could be only achieved by downsizing the corruption and nepotism at least in DRDO.
Jaihind Jaihind Jaihind
