Another top DRDO scientist denied extension by Modi government

by Pranav Kulkarni | New Delhi | Published on:April 1, 2015 1:49 am – The Indian Express
Two months after it sacked Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) chief Avinash Chander, the government has denied extension to a top DRDO scientist. Bikash Bhattacharya, who was on his first extension as the director of Pune-based High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), retired Tuesday. Besides him, the government in the past six months has denied extension to at least three top DRDO scientists.
While Chander was sacked unceremoniously citing the need for appointing younger scientists, the Modi government has on several platforms made public its intentions to streamline DRDO.
Sources in DRDO said the HEMRL director’s extension was recommended by Chander and was considered by the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC). It was, however, rejected by the government “about 10 days ago”. Bhattacharya was formerly associated with ISRO.
Bhattacharya, 62, who took over as director, HEMRL on September 11, 2011 was already on one extension after he completed 60 years on March 23, 2013. As per DRDO’s existing promotion policy, two extensions are permitted for a tenure of two years after the scientist completes 60 years, the retirement age.
Bhattacharya is the fourth scientist to have been denied extension by the Modi government in the past six months. Others who were denied extension are directors of Defence Research & Development Establishment (DRDE), Defence Bioengineering and Electromedical Laboratory (DEBEL) and Electronics & Radar Development Establishment (LRDE) — M P Kaushik, V C Padaki and Venkatnarayana Raju, respectively.
The denial of extensions by the Modi government has reversed the trend of the UPA government which was criticised for making extensions a “norm” instead of an “exception”. In 2012 for instance, 11 top scientists were on extension at various laboratories across the country.

Subject:     Appeal for Justice’.

Respected Sir,

Very humbly, I submit as under:

  1. I, Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware was working as a Group ‘A’ Gazetted officer with designation Technical Officer ‘B’ in High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune- 411021, DRDO, Ministry of Defence. My educational qualification is M.Sc., Ph.D., MBA, PGDEE (Post Graduate Diploma in Ecology and Environment). I have completed 27 years’ of satisfactory service in HEMRL. My entire service record is spotlessly clean.

I hail from a much respected family. My father was a Freedom Fighter and a brave soldier of Azad Hind Sena.

  1. I had submitted timely my grievances to Dr. A Subhananda Rao, Director, HEMRL, Pune regarding my harassment. But no cognizance was taken by him.

I made earnest Appeal for Justice’ on 09.01.2008 to the Director of Personnel (DoP), DRDO, Ministry of Defence, New Delhi regarding my grievances along with supporting documents. I had written a letter on 04.05.2009 to DoP regarding my ‘Harassment by Ostracism’ in HEMRL, Pune. The DoP, too, did not take any cognizance of my grievances and harassment.                          

  1. Instead of considering the gravity of my grievances and harassment by ostracism, Dr. Arun Kumar, the Director of Personnel, all of a sudden, suspended me on 08.2009 by fax order. So, I lodged my protest on 26.08.2009 against the illegal suspension order issued by the DoP.
  1. There is a big conspiracy in DoP office of DRDO from my suspension to dismissal from the service. The Director, HEMRL gave false information to DoP that I was involved in “High-Handed Anti- Departmental Activities”, “the Laboratory has come to a stand still vulnerable position”, “the working of the Laboratory is badly dislocated” and “all officers are in demoralized state”.

The DoP office without any preliminary Inquiry proceeded against me and arranged for my suspension and further dismissal. Thus, the Director HEMRL and DoP joined hands against me and were bent upon to see that I was dismissed from service on 30.12.2010 for the reasons best known to them. The suspension to dismissal charges are not related to each other. Further, penalty of dismissal is horribly disproportionate to the charges leveled against me.

  1. The charges leveled against me for my dismissal like ‘tone and tenor of letter’ are trifling, false and fictitious.
  2. I wish to point out legal points regarding my suspension to dismissal which show that how the Principles of Natural Justice were blatantly violated.
  1. Two separate Memoranda, two separate Disciplinary Inquiries.
  2. Second Inquiry initiated for alleged misconduct during my suspension period when I was not on duty.
  3. Two separate Penalties simultaneously, First Minor & Second Major.
  4. Second penalty was awarded without cancelling first penalty.
  5. No revocation of suspension when first minor penalty was awarded.
  6. Second penalty of Dismissal awarded while under suspension.
  7. Both the penalties horribly disproportionate to the charges.
  8. All the orders from suspension to dismissal illegal. Approval from Rajya Raksha Mantri (RRM) taken instead of Raksha Mantri. Signatory to the orders not authorized under Art.77(2) of the Constitution.          
  1. After dismissal order, I have done a lot of correspondence with the Competent Authority of DRDO for my illegal suspension, illegal punishments including my dismissal and for the settlement of Government dues i.e. rightful amount. But no cognizance was taken by them. This is also the intentionally harassment of me and my family.
  1. I had submitted ‘Appeal for Justice’ to the Competent Authority of the DRDO for my grievances and harassment. But instead of taking any cognizance, suitable action or giving any justice for the same, they have horribly punished me.

It means, ‘Asking for Justice is a Crime’ in DRDO! The Competent Authority of DRDO unnecessarily constrained me to file a various suits in the Hon’ble Courts for the Justice. After the dismissal order, I am jobless. I am highly qualified with 27 years well experienced officer from DRDO but disqualified for any service in the society because of my additional qualification is ‘Dismissal’ which was illegally and unauthorized awarded by the Competent Authority of DRDO. Hence, in all respect, this is very serious harassment and punishment for me.

  1. Sir, I have mentioned all the above irregularities and illegalities, involved in my suspension to dismissal, for your perusal please. I pray and request you to look in to the case and give me justice.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

In beginning of 2000  when Dr W Selvamurty managed the post of CC R&D (HR) inspite of life sciences man which is not the core of DRDO. He create all nonsense in HR, promotions/postings/ recruitments are become business in DRDO.

The result was DRDO involved in lot of court cases till date DRDO paying his all mischiefs and his groomed scientists are sitting in various important posts and carrying all manipulations  like Dr A K Singh, DOP and Dr R K Jain, Director, RAC. The chelas of   Dr W Selvamurty squeeze DRDO in all means these adventures were sensed by ex defence minister and recommended CBI inquiry and advice recruitment of scientists  should again given to UPSC.

Sir, in your reply of question No 789 in Loksabha that DRDO having shortage of more than 1200 scientists. It is wrong input supplied by DRDO in each and every lab more than 30% scientists are involved in admin allied work means almost 1800, the best part is that for financial benefits they shows the scientific contribution and it is totally false it can be verified anytime.

Sir, lot of scientists are not having work of their expertise and they are posted only for satisfaction of ego of Directors,DGs, DOP etc.

The following enclosed letter is received by website and forwarding you to investigate the truth behind the inputs.

Sir,

DRDO HQ is expert in constituting Fact Finding Committees in such a way that the first and final agenda is to any mean give the clean chit to allege officiasl. DRDO Hqrs. having a great track record for this.

  1. Sh Avinash Chander gave clean chit to Dr Arun Kumar, Ex DOP for involved in appointment of of his daughter, Dr W Selvamurthy’s daughter, Sh Bansal’s Daughter, Dr G. Elangovan’s wife etc. After intervention of Ex Defence Minister, Dr run Kumar suspended, facing disciplinary proceeding, his daughter Ms Swati & Mrs T Chandra Banu’s service annulled and rest Ms Geetha & Ms Dolly Bansal’s are in queue. The key person helping in this corrupt practice is Dr A K Singh, DOP, DRDO being staff officer of Dr W Selvamurthy the CC R&D (HR)
  2. Dr V Bhujanga Rao then CC R&D (HR) gave clean chit to Dr A K Maini, E Director LESTEC for giving CRS to Sh Praksh Singh, SAO, LASTEC, but what happened Sh Praksh Singh reinstate and Maini is fighting for his pension till date. The key person helping in this corrupt practice is Dr A K Singh, DOP, DRDO.
  3. Sh Avinash Chader made two Fact Finding Committees to find out Dr A K Saxena’s corrupt practices but only GOD or Dr A K Singh knows the truth. Now we are looking High Court Delhi for revealing the facts of Dr A K Saxena’s, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur. The key person helping in this corrupt practice is Dr A K Singh, DOP, DRDO. Dr A K Singh submitted illegal affidavit to CAT Allahabad & High Court Allahabad to support most corrupt DMSRDE Director.
  4. Maj. Gen Ajay Gupta, Director, Vigilance is under pressure of Dr. A K Singh, DOP, DRDO, Hqrs because of Dr. A K Singh, DOP, DRDO, Hqrs aware all earlier co-operations done by Ajay Gupta with ex SA to RM.

It is requested that please see personally the investigation against Dr. A K Singh, DOP, DRDO, Hqrs. As you also aware that Dr. A K Singh role for harass Dr. Gauasal Khan, Sc D and Dr S Majumadar, Sc G in DIPAS. The reputation of DRDO administration is in the stake because of incompetent DOP, court cases are increasing day by day, officials are suffering sundry things like transfer/posting, SC/ST harassment and minority harassment cases are not dealing properly by DOP. After termination of Sh Avinash Chander Dr A K Singh’s illegal activities are down 50% but still your intervention is requested to give relief to DRDO officials from the panic of Dr A K Singh.

Parrikar to separate roles of DRDO chief and scientific advisor

Shishir Gupta, Hindustan Times, New Delhi| Updated: Mar 21, 2015 00:53 IST
Defence minister Manohar Parrikar has decided to bifurcate the job of secretary (Defence Research and Development Organisation) and scientific advisor (SA) to the minister with the latter now expected to oversee research and development and push the DRDO to a world class level for military technologies.ht parrikarFormer DRDO secretary Chander, who 11th SA to the Raksha Mantri, demitted office on January 31, 2015. South Block sources said while Parrikar has short-listed a panel of around eight young defence scientists for the DRDO job, he plans to bring in an advisor who will be tasked to advise him on the technological and hardware requirements of the armed forces as well as to help enhance technologies for the DRDO laboratories.

“How can SA to RM and DRDO chief be the same person? The job of the former was to keep an eye on the latter working. This is perhaps why the DRDO has lagged behind in developing world class defence technologies and all its major programmes are behind schedule,” said a senior official.

While Parrikar is currently informally advised by retired military officials on requirements of the armed forces, the 12th SA is expected to review the working of the DRDO and fix accountability and time-lines on development of critical technologies. The next DRDO chief will be one of the defence ministry secretaries with three other secretaries as his colleagues.

With PM Narendra Modi’s Make in India centred around defence technologies, future focus will be on DRDO labs developing exportable technologies for hardware production by defence public sector undertaking and Indian companies in joint venture with global defence contractors.

पीएमओ से शिकायत पर अनुशासन की तलवार

  • 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)daink jagran 26 march 2015
