DRDO trying to manage counter the Ex-Defence Minister Sh. A K Antony’s recommendation to scrap RAC with help of ASCI

Ex-Defence Minister Sh. A K Antony recommended reconsideration of DRDO recruitment of scientists again from UPSC channel instead of DRDO’s own Recruitment Assessment Centre (RAC). From 1984 on wards RAC independently recruited scientists as or when required by DRDO. The RAC is managed by DRDO scientists who were under control of DRDO top brasses directly.

CVO, MOD analyzed after receiving several complaints against DRDO top brasses that there were a lot of manipulations done in laid down recruitment rules by RAC & senior DRDO officials to recruit their  wards. CVO, MOD proposed CBI enquiries against 10 top DRDO scientists who were involved in such criminal conspiracy. CVO, MOD also suggested that RAC be scrapped and scientists’ recruitment should be done through UPSC again. For this it was suggested that a study is conducted that would evaluate the RAC functionality by XLRI, ASCI Hyderabad, etc.

As DRDO has several experts bluff masters who have already proven their expertise by fooling the nation in different important projects, few are delayed by several years and few are closed unceremoniously.

So again they came forward to counter CVO, MOD suggestion and gave HR audit to Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), Hyderabad. ASCI introduced just one program in DRDO in 2006-07. Today, in 2014, ASCI is running several programs in the name of risk management, basic project management and a lot of other gimmicks in ITM-Mussoorie, DIPAS-Delhi, DRDL, ANURAG and so on. It is essentially a give and take game with no scope for improvement or benefits of DRDO or the officials. This can be seen from HR Audit of DRDO: A Pilot Study, a feedback format by ASCI, Hyderabad enclosed for your ready reference.

Interestingly the format is very good but the process of feedback is very bad.

The ASCI approaches each lab/establishment of DRDO with the feedback format.  I don’t know whether ASCI knows about the absolute power of DRDO directors or not. Example of LASTEC, when ASCI approached Director, LASTEC, Dr. A K Maini and asked for 20 volunteer names of DRDS, DRTC and Admin allied, he gave names of 20 chamchas (yes-men) in all categories. Can you imagine that ASCI will get the real picture of DRDO work scenario by using such methodology of assessment? It is impossible.  These things repeat everywhere and this futile exercise is for countering CVO, MOD suggestion only.

The major check points for ASCI

Section 2 Point No. 1. (c) Working for nation attitude – Totally missing very few young scientists having such thinking.

(f) Professional freedom – Nil and this is the main reason of the exodus of nearly 700 in the last three years. You can verify this from continuous questions in the parliament on this issue.

(i) Rewards and recognition – Only reserved for chamachas. Please see the last ten years award list (in case of LASTEC local annual awards when Chairman award committee was Dr. R K Tyagi he gave award to himself and when Chairman award committee was Mrs. Neelam Malhan she gave the award to herself. It is not a joke; it is the great award culture of DRDO, which is followed in all awards of DRDO.

(t)Opportunity of Promotion – Only reserved for chamachas. Almost 90% results of every assessment were known by labs officials before assessment. In DRDO, officials are divided in three parts, one whom the director makes sure their promotions, second part those if get clear promotion line or not cleared director doesn’t bother and third part are those for them director makes sure that in any case they have to be deprived for promotion. This is a well known truth of today’s DRDO.

(u)Training – Only reserved for chamachas. Only name of selected officials cleared by Director’s office. It is immaterial whether person selected for training is related with his assigned work or field.

Remaining points are useless.

Point No 3.

(h) Workload – there are more than 50 % workforce (nearly 30000 personal) that has no work load due to outsourcing for minting money. It can be proved by analyzing their specific individual output.

(i)      Grievances redressal mechanism – Very poor it can judged by the increasing number of court cases and representations received by Scientific Adviser , ASCI will not get clear picture from an individual feedback of chamchas.

ASCI will take money and forget but the nation who is going to pay for this HR Audit; it will get a big zero.

It is requested to DRDO’s honest officials to fill the following formats and send to ASCI mail address, nirmalya@asci.org.in to show the clear picture of DRDO to ASCI.asci format asci format1 asci format2

It is only the tip of the iceberg. It is requested to investigate all cases of M/s. Trinetra Constructions.

Sir, it is also observed that the honest AO/JCDAs were transferred under pressure of DRDO top brasses and other corrupts are enjoying long posting 5 years 10 years you know cases like the one of most controversial DRDO establishment ITR. The DRDO scientists in the name of secrecy and urgency change the nomenclature and play with specifications, it is suggested such cases be seconded from other organizations without knowledge of DRDO indenters.

With great hope that you will look into the matter and do the needful.

When DRDO’s party in the US almost went for a toss

Rediff.com  » News » August 09, 2013 11:30 IST

Apparently some officials in the United States consulates in India do not seem to have received the memo about sanctions against Indian entities like the Defence Research and Development Organisation, Indian Space Research Organisation, etc, which were imposed immediately after the May 1998 Pokhran nuclear explosions, being lifted years ago.

Or, still lurking in the shadows of the US State Department are non-proliferation ayatollahs who have not forgiven India for its nuclear tests and are totally opposed to the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal.

These could be the only possible explanations why visa applications of some of the DRDO delegation members were rejected or delayed, which almost made them, miss the official launch last week of the DRDO-developed Explosive Detection Kit in Washington, which was a historic reverse technology transfer by India to the US.

But what is ironical here is that the leading research scientists from DRDO who had applied for visas and were part of the delegation slated to attend the official launch of the EDK had developed and were now transferring a technology that was going to save the continued killing of US troops from IEDs.

This visa issue had gotten so embarrassing that former Defence Secretary William Cohen, now a member of the US-India Business Council’s board of directors, who was presiding along with Ambassador Nirupama Rao at the launch, had to prevail upon Secretary of State John F Kerry and get the visas okayed.

Obviously, not wanting this visa issue to colour the growing Indo-US defence relationship, which he has been promoting assiduously, Cohen said at the outset of the launch that ‘we tend to accentuate the negative in our relationship with India over the years,’ but acknowledged that ‘this most recent snafu about getting visas cleared,’ didn’t help.

Cohen said, ‘We complain about Indian bureaucracy frequently and we only have to look at the mirror and see what happened to American bureaucracy.

‘And thanks to the activities of Secretary Kerry, who at least tried to rectify the errors that we made,’ he said.

In welcoming the DRDO delegation, Cohen said, ‘So we apologize for your delay and I know as a frequent traveller what it means to get off a plane after flying 14 hours and to come directly to a meeting such as this.’

‘So, we are honoured that you are here, embarrassed that we somehow forced you to delay your trip and not give you enough time to rest before coming.’

DRDO Director General Dr Avinash Chander, Dr S Radhakrishnan, Director, Services Interaction and Technology Acquisition, DRDO, Dr S Sunderesh, Chief Controller, R & D, DRDO, Dr Reny M Roy, Scientist at DRDO who lead the team that develop the EDK, and others, immediately from the airport after dumping their baggage at the hotel, had to rush to the US Chamber of Commerce building where hundreds of administration officials, defence industry representatives and fellow scientists had assembled for the official launch.

Fight Against Corruption prevailing at DMSRDE, Kanpur – Act of Desperate D G DRDO

To                                                                                              20th May 2014
Sh Avinash Chander,
DG DRDO, DRDO Bhawan,
Rajaji  Marg, New Delhi-110105

Dear Sir,

This website has been reporting the several cases of corruption/ nepotism and anarchy against SC/ST and weaker section of the society prevailing in DRDO.

The legacy followed from early 80’s has shown that instead of to counter the corruption / nepotism the top brasses of DRDO has carved out a mechanism to disseminate the whistle blowers.

The whistle blowers of DMSRDE, Kanpur who had been helping the DRDO Hqrs to keep an eagle eye on corrupt practices of senior officials and Director of DMSRDE has been served transfer orders to Timbuktu.

DRDO Hqrs thinks the transfer order is a only weapon to solve the problem and divert attention from corruption, but those days are over now.

Sh R P Bhat, Scientist ’F’ and Sh Naveen Prakash Gupta, Scientist ’C’ both were awarded transfer order on 19th May 2014 afternoon and immediately relived on account of their fight against corruption of Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

The transfer shows that DRDO Hqrs is deaf and dumb and bunch of corrupt officials who are protecting corrupt officials of DMSRDE are not able to hear the Modi’s Hunkar against corruption. The clear mandate by 125 crores people of India for eradication of corruption and corrupts only.

In similar case Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II, LASTEC, DRDO, Delhi, who exposed the corrupt practices of Dr A K Maini, Director, LASTEC.  Sh Prakash Singh was dismissed by service on the wrong feedback of Dr A K Maini.  Defence Minister noticed the truth and reinstated Sh Prakash Singh and ordered high level inquiry against corrupt officials. To avoid the consequences of investigation Dr Maini took the VRS and the current position of the case is on your table as CVO, MOD was not satisfied with DRDO Hqrs reply in Dr Maini’s case.

The same bunch of officials of DRDO Hqrs who suggested the termination of Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II is instrumental in recent transfer orders of DMSRDE scientists. You very well know the then DG Dr V K Saraswat did not apply his mind in Sh Prakash Singh’s case and trusted those bunch of flatterers and result he was out unceremoniously and CBI sword is also hanging.

Sir, if at all you can prove your worthiness, please gives your reaction in turn help the organization.

With warm regards

Contractual appointment post-retirement not in rules

HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times New Delhi, May 28, 2012
First Published: 00:18 IST(28/5/2012) | Last Updated: 00:23 IST(28/5/2012)

Faced with uncomfortable questions on the lack of clarity in allowing some of its officials to continue in service after retirement, the government has conceded that post-retirement appointment on contract basis is not covered by the rules defining extension of service.
The government’s view has come in the form of replies to questions in both Houses of Parliament on the grant of extension for coal ministry secretary and appointment of law secretary on contract basis for a period of a year and 11 months.

The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), in its reply to Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi, has stated that “government servants are allowed to continue in service after 60 years in rare and exceptional cases.”

Owaisi wanted to know why the continuation in service of Central government officials beyond the age of 60 years was not being treated as a violation of government’s own rules.

The DoPT has made it clear that decisions in such matters are taken “on a case-to-case” basis and has also given its view on officials being employed on contract. “Appointment of an officer after superannuation (after retirement) is not covered by the provisions of Fundamental Rule 56, which deal with extension of service,” the department said in its reply.

The DoPT has stated that All India Services Rules, 1958, provide for extension in service in public interest “only to the incumbents of five posts — cabinet secretary, defence secretary, home secretary, director of Intelligence Bureau, and director of Central Bureau of Investigation.”

On the question of promotion chances of serving officers being hampered by extensions and employment on contract of retired officials, the DoPT has stated that the government is committed to ensure “promotion aspects of long-serving bureaucrats are not hampered.”

The DoPT’s reply, however, is not in line with law minister Salman Khurshid’s reply in the Rajya Sabha last week on the appointment of law secretary on contract.

Khurshid had stated that such an appointment was done “since there was a need for a high-level technical person towards handling of law”. This particular criterion does not find mention in the existing list of government rules which allow continuation of officials beyond the age of 60 years in particular fields.

Apart from the five posts mentioned above, the government rules allow specialists in health services, scientific field, those dealing with budget work and full-time members of a committee to be wound up soon, to continue in service after retirement.

Heights of Ego of Retiring Director, LASTEC, DRDO

It is heartening to inform you all that Director, LASTEC, DRDO has such caliber that he has written more than a dozen books and some are not even of his field.

Beside this he is an expert in down grading APAR marks of honest officers. Before the paper reaches him he compels the assessing and reviewing officer to downgrade APAR marks.

On 5th May 2014 he exercised his absolute power, which is with him up to 3rd June 2014, and compelled assessing officer to downgrade APAR marks of Sh. Prakash Singh, SAO-II who was certified as an honest officer by Honorable Defence Minister Sh. A. K. Antony.  Assessing officer initially gave 90 Marks to Sh. Prakash Singh, SAO-II. However, Director, LASTEC, DRDO Dr. Anil Kumar Maini terrorized the assessing officer and the 90 marks became 83 and whitener was used on 8 places.

Amazingly, Dr. Anil Kumar Maini not satisfied even after down grading APAR of Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II. He again called assessing officer on 13th May 2014 and threatened to use Official Secret Act, 1923 on him, this was the retort of Dr Maini as stated by reliable sources after seeing the 5th May comments on website www. corruptionindrdo.com.

These 8 white blots are basically not on the APAR of Sh. Prakash Singh SAO-II but they are in your bag which you are carrying with you after superannuation (VRS).

Hope Sh. Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO will protect  the assessing officer from the sharp horns of ? for the sake of dignity of DRDO.

Officers on Extension holding responsible post in DRDO are Breach of National Security

To                                                                                                                              15th May 2014

Subject: Officers on Extension holding responsible post in DRDO are Breach of National Security

For quite some it is practice in DRDO to continue officer on extension as director of Lab/Establishment.

For extension the DOPT guideline (FR 56 d) summarize the capability of scientist should of international stature with credits achieved with patents and papers published in international journals.

Unfortunately in DRDO top brass cooked the extension requirement to suit the incompetent scientists.

When the incompetent scientist manages the extension he does not bother towards constitutional provisions, his priority is set solely to encourage corruption / nepotism so that as early he reimburse his dues incurred towards getting extension. (CAG or special audit easily can differentiate the way of budget spend by scientist before and after extension)

As example Sh R C Agarwal, Director, DEAL, DRDO, Dehradun on second extension in service without any of international stature, no patents, no papers published in international journals, no expertise in any field which was recognized by any apex body (Joined as Charge man and promoted to Scientist H), and has failed to prevent atrocity on fellow SC/ST officials even though vide DRDO Hqrs Letter No DOP/ 01/ 00008/ DEAL/ M/01 dated 12th March 2014 clearly issued  DG, DRDO directives not harass member of weaker section SC/ST/OBC.

For reference the case of Sh Jagdish Kumar, Technical Officer ‘C’, DEAL, DRDO, Dehradun is enclosed herewith.

It is requested to honor the constitution of India, please take appropriate action to protect the rights of weaker section SC/ST/OBC.
