Dr Maini bhaiya quitting DRDO – LASTEC ko kiske Bharose Chode ja rahe ho – Bade Bade LASER Projecto ka kya hoga, PRS ke Russian suppliers ka kya hoga?

1 Comment

It is very interesting case of VRS of Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, Lastec , where senior DRDO scientists are busy for managing extension per extension 60 ke 62 aur 62 ke bad 64 aur 64 ke bad 65 and so on.

But other hand like Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, Lastec silently quitting before 8 months of his superannuation

Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, Lastec, DRDO was the main accused in complaint of Sh Prakash Singh, SAO –II and DRDO sacked Sh Prakash Singh with comments “Sh Prakash Singh was sacked the allegation leveled by him was baseless”

Defence Minister A K Antony reinstated Sh Prakash Singh and ordered CBI intervention but Dr Anil Kumar Maini’s case was in pipeline with CVO, MoD.

Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, Lastec, DRDO was submitted his VRS paper silently and got sanction by competent authority and leaving DRDO on 31st May 2014. Dr A K Singh extended his all efforts to arrange farzi vigilance clearance like in the case of top corrupt DRDO official Dr W Selvamurhty’s vigilance clearance. The local DRDO vigilance cell’s vigilance clearance was put with pension paper and till date Dr W Selvamurthy not got vigilance clearance from CVO, MoD. As everyone knows that CVO, MoD raised note sheet with request of action against 10 top DRDO officials from CBI and Defence Minister A K Antony approved, so how can Dr W Selvamurthy got vigilance clearance from CVO, MoD at the time of his superannuation.   

Exclusive: Whistleblower DRDO officer sacked for highlighting corruption Gautam Datt   |   Mail Today |   New Delhi, November 3, 2012

However, reliable sources said Singh was ‘punished’ for highlighting widespread corruption in DRDO. The officer had filed a complaint with the CBI against three senior functionaries: Manas Kumar Mandal  Technology Centre) and Dr Arun Kumar (director, personnel, at the headquarters). The CBI referred his complaint to the vigilance department of DRDO.

But the DRDO inquiry dismissed the charges of irregularities levelled against the three officials and recommended disciplinary action against Singh for making false complaints.

DRDO RTI Cell Trying to take shelter of High Court Order

Leave a comment

DRDO RTI cell doing propaganda that Honorable High Court declared DRDO 100%   exempted  organization from RTI Act-2005 and started giving denial  to each and every RTI request without seeing the merit and facts that the request pertain to corruption. And best part of this now they are stop writing “except information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human rights violations”

RTI cell including First appellate authority also cited the Delhi High Court Judgment passed in WP © 83/2014 DR. NEELAM BHALLA .. Petitioner Through: Mr. R. Sathish, Advocate. Versus UNION OF INDIA & ORS ..Respondents Through: Mr. Neeraj Chaudhari, Advocate for R-1 and 2.

In this judgment is nothing new every one clearly knows DRDO was an exempted organization under Section 24 of the Right to Information Act, 2005. In other words, the Act would apply to DRDO only to the extent of information pertaining to allegations of corruption and human rights violations.

In DR. NEELAM BHALLA case  DR. NEELAM BHALLA  prayer to honorable court that information supplied by then CPIO, DRDO  Sh Bundella was incorrect and inaccurate and court says

“4. It is a matter of fact that Shri Bundela had provided inaccurate and incorrect information to the appellant but Shri Bundela’s contention that he had transmitted information as received by him from CPIO of RAC cannot be disregarded. It is important to bear in mind that Shri Bundela was not the holder of information. The holder of information was CPIO, RAC. Whatever information was W.P.(C) No. 83/2014 Page 1 of 4 forwarded to Shri Bundela by CPIO, RAC, he transmitted the same to the appellant.

6. Even so, before parting with this matter, I would like to caution Shri Bundela to exercise due diligence in responding to the RTI application in future.”

4. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court is of the view that once the CIC has held that DRDO is an exempted organisation under Section 24 of RTI Act and the information sought does not pertain to corruption and/or human rights violation, it was not open to the CIC to carve out any further exemption.

But in whole judgment there is nothing new and not giving extra immunizing to DRDO from RTI act, if there is any extra facilitation in judgment than DRDO should quote specifically that.

  1. DRDO RTI cell also go through the judgment of  CWP No. 12904 of 2009

In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh

HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE  MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR

under Section 24(4) of the Act which envisaged that nothing contained in this Act shall apply to such intelligence and security organizations A combined reading of these provisions would reveal, only that information is exempted, which is directly effecting and co-related to the “Intelligence” and “Security” of that organization of the State and not otherwise.

The matters pertaining to recruitment/appointments and day to day administrative nature information, where it is also found that DRDO top officials did lot of irregularities. Therefore honorable defence minister approved CBI intervention against 10 top DRDO officials including 2 ex- DRDO chiefs one Dr V K Saraswat and other one Sh M Natrajan  for their ugly acts.

It was establish facts till date all senior officials of DRDO who were fixed by CVC and CVO, MOD were exposed with the help of RTI’s only.

So DRDO officials are afraid of RTI’s if they are honest then why they worries from RTI’s . The Ex CPIO, DRDO Dr A K Tyagi who is facing charge sheet in corruption case was the big manipulator and protector of corrupt officials.

I request to DRDO RTI cell you people are serving to our nation; please not to protect culprit’s corrupt officers, your younger generation will ask you what did you contributed for justice. Now in the age of IT revolution era kid can explore what are the score of my grandpa, because these documents are alive forever.

I want to appeal all information seeker from DRDO please don’t dishearten from these act of these corrupt DRDO officials who are taking false shelter.

Please mail/post/send ordinary dak all your queries to www.corruptionindrdo.com postal address or mail address, we will took the matter up to higher ups. We are also planning to filled a PIL for request supreme court for delist the name of DRDO from Second Schedule of RTI Act 2005. As we collected lot of of informations from all over the country.

RTI ONLINE PORTAL – Supporter of Corruption & Corrupt Officials

3 Comments
To                                                                                                                    16th April 2014
Honorable Dr Man Mohan Singh,
Prime Minister,
PMO, North Block,
New Delhi -110011

Subject: Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO

Honorable Sir,

I Prabhu Dandriyal, ex DRDO employee and resident of Dehradun, Uttarakhand fighting against corruption since 1999.

When the RTI Act 2005 implemented through our Honorable Parliament, it was a historical decision to empowerment common man of India.

Today, Sh Rahul Gandhi ji, Smt Sonia Gandhi ji daily quoting in election rallies that RTI Act 2005 is their gift to common man of India; it is 100% true that day one common man experiences his strength to correct the corrupt system and RTI Act helped mass common people of India.

Since its inception, I have filed several RTI applications to expose the corruption and slowly the corrective measures are taken by concern departments, but still long way to go on.

Sir, DoPT is the nodal agency for implementing RTI Act-2005 and I was found some officials from DoPT are supporting corrupt officials of DRDO.

Sir, I filed an online RTI application to DRDO for request information in respect of Dr. AK Singh, DOP, DRDO, Ministry of Defence. The information can expose the wrong doings of DRDO officials. But my RTI application was returned by DoPT official unprecedentedly.

My  RTI application MODEF/R/2014/60617 filed online portal on 31/03/214 addressed to Dr. RB Sharma, CPIO, DRDO under department of Defence was returned online on 15th March 2014 with this remark which one is  unprecedented act of portal manager/ in-charge against the guideline.   Remarks :- 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.

As per 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’

It is astonishing fact that DoPT official mentioning   that DRDO placed under Second Schedule of the RTI Act, 2005 but they forget they are not exempted for corruption and human right violation matters; it seems that the officials involved are biased and supporter of corrupt official of DRDO.

I request you kindly take appropriate corrective measure  take action against officials who are involved in unconstitutional act and give strength to claim of UPA government that RTI- Act 2005 is really empowered the common man and fix those who are diluting the effectiveness of  strong RTI Act -2005.

US Firm Signs Pact to Acquire DRDO’S Technology for Explosive Detection Kit

A USA based firm Crowe & Company, LLC has entered into a licensing agreement with DRDO to acquire the technology of Explosive Detection Kit developed by the High Energy Material Research Lab (HEMRL), Pune, one of the constituent laboratories of DRDO. An MoU to the effect was signed by Dr. Subhananda Rao, Director HEMRL on behalf of DRDO, and Ms. Faye Crowe, President, Crowe & Company, LLC, USA here today.

HEMRL has developed the kit for quick detection and identification of explosives that can detect and identify explosives based on any combination of nitro esters, nitramines, trinitrotoluene (TNT), dynamite or black powder. The testing requires only 3 to 5 mg of suspected sample and only 3 or 4 drops of reagents. The explosive detection kit comes packed in a box the size of a vanity case and in miniature vials that can be kept in shirt pockets. It contains reagents capable of detecting explosives, even in extremely small, trace quantities.

Crowe & Company had approached FICCI under DRDO-FICCI, ATAC programme to enter into MoU for licensing agreement with DRDO for the said technology. In the past FICCI has also facilitated a similar kind of licensing agreement for explosive detection kit between DRDO an Indian company, named, Vantage Integrated Security Solutions (P) Ltd. The DRDO – FICCI Accelerated Technology Assessment & Commercialisation (ATAC) programme is a unique initiative that aims for commercialisation of cutting edge technologies developed by various labs of DRDO for civilian applications.

Speaking on the occasion Dr. Prahlada, Distinguished Scientist & Chief Controller R&D (Aeronautics & Services Interaction), DRDO, the key architect of DRDO-FICCI ATAC initiative, said “the ATAC programme has achieved a major milestone with the US Company taking DRDO technology for use by US homeland security and for international markets.” Dr Prahlada further said that the present technology can also be helpful to control illegal trafficking of the explosive materials as it can equally detect and identify explosive materials in the pre- and post-blast scenarios.

Mr S. Sundaresh, Distinguished Scientist & Chief Controller R&D (Armaments & Combat Engg.) stated that the technology is very effective and is in use by Indian security forces and would now help the international community also. Speaking on the occasion Dr. Subhananda Rao, Distinguished Scientist & Director HEMRL, Pune informed that through the explosive detection kit, the security forces can instantly identify the explosive that was used for the detonation in the aftermath of a blast. They just have to take a sample of the residues from the scene of the crime and test it against the chemicals given in the kit. The change in colour tells them if the explosive used is RDX, TNT, PETN or any other chemical. Highlighting the features of the technology Mr S.

A PM who paid when sons used official car – What about Dr A K Saxena’s, Director, DMSRDE Kanpur family picnic trip in Lal batti Staff Car

1 Comment

The Day After News

At a time when Indian politicians make news for corruption and misuse of power comes a book on Lal Bahadur Shastri, the country’s second prime minister who was so upright that he deposited money in government coffers because his sons had used his official car.

The incident has been captured in the book “Lal Bahadur Shastri: Past Forward” (Konark) by his son Sunil Shastri, a Congress politician and a former minister in Uttar Pradesh.

Sunil Shastri says he used to imagine having a big luxury car commensurate with the status of his ‘babuji'(father) and Lal Bahadur Shastri did get a Chevrolet Impala for official use.

“One day I told babuji’s personal secretary to ask the driver to bring the Chevrolet to the residence. We asked the driver for the keys and went for a drive,” he says in the book.

Lal Bahadur Shastri later confronted the driver, saying, “Do you keep a logbook with you?” “When he nodded, babuji asked him to note the distance the car had run the previous day. When the driver said 14 km, he advised him to note it ‘for private use’ and then asked amma to give his personal secretary the amount applicable to be deposited in the government account.”

DR A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE is king of corruption as e-mails from M/s Mangalam to him exposed his relation with suppliers and as well as his modus operandi in procurement cases.

Our country proud of having such great Prime Minister and other way very unfortunate having such corrupt DRDO scientist who is heading such important Defence Establishment.

Leave a comment
To                                                                                            12th April 2014
Honorable Ambassador Nancy J. Powell,
U.S. Embassy,
Shantipath, Chanakyapuri,
New Delhi – 110021

Subject:  US based Firm Crowe & Company, South Carolina, USA signed MoU with DRDO,  Ministry of Defence,GOI

Honorable Madam,

On 2nd August 2013 a MoU signed in US Chamber of Commerce, 615 H St NW, Washington, DC 20062 by Ms Faye Crowe, CEO, Crowe and Company, 975 Bacons Bridge Road Summerville, SC 29485 USA with Shri Avinash Chander, Scietific Adviser to Raksha Mantri, Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and DG, DRDO in presence of then Indian Ambassador Ms Nirupama Rao.

In this occasion Dr John Holdren, Senior Adviser to the US President on S&T, Ron Somers, President USIBC and former US Defence Secretary William S Cohen among the guest.

Some News papers quote ““We are hoping that (technology transfer) would be a two way street,” former US Defence Secretary William S Cohen said, adding that this is a very significant step. He described it as a very “excellent example” of reverse technology transfer.

(http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/international/us-to-manufacture-market-drdos-explosive-detection-kit/article4985275.ece)

“We are planning to introduce the EDK to the US Army and US homeland security forces and in other international markets after getting necessary approvals from the US regulatory institutions,” said Fay Crowe, CEO and president of the company.

http://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/india-s-drdo-launches-explosive-detection-kit-in-us_866386.html

The launch of EDK in the US was significant in more ways than one, said the Indian ambassador Nirupama Rao, who described the transfer of technology as “an important milestone in the process of evolution of India-US strategic partnership.”

http://gulfnews.com/news/world/india/india-launches-explosive-detection-kit-in-us-1.1216355

Chander was upbeat over first of DRDO developed products getting globalised with the transfer of Indian technology to the US which not long ago looked at the DRDO “as a very reluctant supplier”.

Fay Crowe, owner of the company now manufacturing the selling these kits in the US, said she believed the kit could have prevented the Boston Marathon explosions.

The kit was launched in Washington on Friday for production and sale in the US and other countries in the region, by Crowe and Company, a South Carolina firm.

It is currently undergoing tests by US military and other security agencies but may soon be headed for use by coalition forces in Afghanistan through a non-profit.

“This kit has a much better field deployable position than other items. We have just signed an agreement with a US company to take the technology to South America. The technology would be presented to the Columbian Defense Ministry and to Panama and across the world,” Crowe said.

It is India which holds the patent on the technology, and Crowe has paid an unspecified amount to commercialise it in the US and would also pay royalty on the EDK kits sold.

“Yes”, she said when asked if Boston bombings could have been prevented if the technology was available in the US at that time.

“I believe that it could have been deployed in Boston and with proper training if the kits were in use…at large events, it would every easy to implement a posture where you can detect explosives,” she said.

Subversion of Rules and Violation of CCS Conduct Rules 1964 by Dr. Trilok Chand Shami, Scientist “F” of DMSRDE, Kanpur

Defence Minister
Room -104, South Block
New Delhi – 110011

SUBJECT : Subversion of Rules and Violation of CCS Conduct Rules 1964 by Dr. Trilok Chand  Shami, Scientist “F” of DMSRDE, Kanpur

Sir,

  1. Defence Materials and Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur is an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Min. of Defence.
  2. Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Director, DMSRDE on 01st January 2011. Right from his joining he is involved in various kinds of Administrative and Financial irregularities that have led to massive Corruption. More than ten complaints have been registered by Central Vigilance Commission at New Delhi based on the veracity and the prima facie.  In all these illegal activities, he is assisted by number officers like Mr. Shilendra Kumar, Dr. D N Triphai, Mr.  Amit Sarayia, Mr. A K Singh and Dr. Trilok Chand Shami. His behaviour towards officers and staff is absolutely shameful. On smallest pretext he prosecutes some ones and lets off his pets of his caste on grave violation of rules.
  3. Under Rule 5 of the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964, which inter alia prohibits Central Government servants from canvassing or otherwise interfering with, or using their influence in connection with or taking part in, an election to any legislature or local authority subject to the exercise of the right of franchise and assisting in the conduct of an election in the due performance of a duty imposed on them by or under any law for the time being in force.
  4. Further, DOPT Letter No.1101 3/08/2013 – Es tt.(A )- III, dated 6th June, 2013 clearly states that As such submission of representations directly to higher authorities by- passing the prescribed channel of communication, has to be viewed seriously and appropriate disciplinary action should be taken against those who violate these instructions as it can rightly be treated as an unbecoming conduct attracting the provisions of Rule 3 (1) (iii) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964.
  5. Dr. Trilok Chand Shami, Scientist “F” of DMSRDE is another corrupt officer with least regards to rules and regulation. In his letter dated 19th January 2011, he has committed a grave mistake by writing a DO letter (enclosed as Annexure-I) to a political leader namely Shri Satpal Maharaj, MP. Every Govt. employee has to be apolitical and no Govt. employee can communicate directly or indirectly to any political party or a political leader.
  6. Since Shri Avanish Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri is taking no action against Dr. AK Saxena, Director, DMSRDE and his corrupt officers, I therefore request you that the provisions of unbecoming conduct be invoked in respect of Dr. T C Shami, Scientist “F” and a charge sheet be issued under the provisions of Rule 3 (1) (iii) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964.

It is requested that kindly take appropriate action as per provision of Rule 3 (1) (iii) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964.

With warm regards
