Subject: Young and honest DRDO Scientists suffering from corruption/ nepotism/ favoritism in promotions.
Sir,
Since last 10 years it is observed that the assessments for promotion is become business for senior top scientists and lab directors. Every year the result of assessment pour frustrations among deserve scientists and only such scientist stays in DRDO who digest the promotions of incompetents and specially outstanding promotions of those who are engaged for non scientific assignments.
DRDO brain drain is directly connected with DRDO assessment procedure. The RAC Director, Dr R K Jain himself an example of violation of FCS. His long tenure as Director RAC also proves the DRDO top managements are happy with his role.
Every year the entry of scientists especially by lateral entry is one of the main source of induction of their favorite ones by tailor made post advertisement. In this connection the complaints are piling with various GOI agencies.
The experts invitations are also a big game in these assessment, example in case of assessment of Dr A K Singh, most of time of his assessment same expert was called.
RAC, Director facilitate in this respect to lab directors/ cc/ DG’s to promote their beloveds through this mechanism and paint as fair assessments.
Sir, the following letter is received by website regarding assessment business of DRDO, forwarding for your perusal.
Regards
Prabhu Dandriyal,

Uncontrolled organization drdo if corruption not control hit at site corrupt scientist this language is know the corrupt .
Drdo assessment is only for showoff every thing is pre decided.first of all there is no outstanding work in drdo.contribution is only to fool nation. I am 100% agreed that there is golmaal in promotion. in bangalore based drdo labs all t ppl are getting outstanding or normal promotion where as deserving non t ppl are denied after t man has taken charge as dg aero. This is going at all level. Cemilac gtre ade are the hub of manipulation.there is ulterior motive of closing set exam and conducting lateral selection. Via lateral selection only scraps are entering into drdo that is also from all south sub standard colleges. These scraps are never cleared any xam in their life time and doing useless work exp entered into drdo based on local selection method.same person r getting outstanding call during every assessmemt by doing normal work. These kinds of examples are lying in all bangalore based labs. first all i request govt of india to scrap the designation scientist …
…. drdo doing only manipulation…there is no scientific work done across any lab actually…as you said rightly this yr also deserve ppl r going to get set back because t man has to promote his ppl at all level so that they can capture drdo in future.only this local thinking of single man hav spoiled drdo to the core
no one even god can save drdo the exten of damage this local recruitmemt n t factor promotion has done to this organisation….i joined drdo to work but after seeing promotion result every year…i feel there is no need to work ….promotion is given on only two basis
if u in t loop or chamcha of director…i request prabhuji to please ask govt to abolish rac board and tell all top scientist of drdo to write set xam once….. prabhuji u ask dg aero who r the deserving ppl according to him…give the promotion first…we can wait one more year…after his departure from drod ….we can think fair promotion..
Hi, i have a small advice to the so called young scientists. simply don’t write whatever you like. In my 38yrs experience in DRDO till now not heard of money paid for promotions. Don’t malign the organisation, if you have enimity / jealousy with somebody settle it personally.
First of all i have one question to the so called young scientists. How can you call yourself scientists, what is your achievement and what’s the research you have done to call yourself as scientist. An engineering passout immediately entering DRDO, how he becomes scientist. If you have any shame first take up the case with MoD and ask them to rename your cadre as Engineers instead of Scientists. Seen many scientists doing purchase, HR, Training, Admin jobs and getting ;promotions under category support services. When they are doing support service why they have to be called scientists. What is the research they will do in Admin, finance, purchase, works jobs.
Instead of accusing and making allegations, suggest what has to be done. If you want the RAC to be closed, then what u to do for promotions. Tell the MoD to stop FCS and conduct the exams for promotions through UPSC. Remember you are paid by the tax payers money for salary and additional increments, surrender the additional increments, you people take hefty money once in a year as update allowance and how many of you have purchased even a single book in a year. if you want any book to be referred, u people just give demands to your office libraries.
Seen lot of young engineers (so called scientists) just doing paper work, raising demands, preparing TEC. First be sincere to the organisation, fight for your job profile, question your seniors to provide productive work for which you have been appointed.
Finally don’t shout, show it. First correct yourself. Question to yourself the first day you join office, you people think of benefits you get (leave, LTC, allowance, increments etc.,) from the Government instead of what and how you can contribute to the development of Nation.
Well said. Newton must be shocked to see the so called DRDO Scientists, extensively utilising their talent in stores, purchase, administration, libarary, HR and getting raise from B to G/H over period of time comfirtably. Assessment board is as well responsible for having favourable views towards such scientists who are doing all non-sciences, enjoying SALARY & STATUS at the cost of tax payer money.
Well said indian
Scrap promotion policy. Introduce tenure based promotion onece in 7 years for all levels. So called scientists doing purchases getting 3years, 4years calls in all grades.
where the money is coming from to these so called scientists for bribing. Local purchase committee (LPC) purchases, Single tenders, PAC purchases.
Even if 0.1 percent of the sums mentioned is exchanged then I would only pray for the country and the countrymen. Further it is also very dangerous for the science and technology in the country.
Answer lies in your comment sir, after spending 38 years you do not have the power to change the bad things that you are talking about (doing paper work, raising demands, preparing TEC). Who asks the young scientists to do all these work. you seem so hopeless that you want young scientist to make their rules. when a young scientist joins the organisation he does not know much about the culture of the organisation and what work he is supposed to do. what you could not do in 38 years of your service how can a day old scientist can do in this organisation. Sir after spending 38 years you could only gather the courage to write on this website instead of mentioning it at some useful forum inside drdo.
Yes sir, i agree that i could not do anything bcoz DRDO is for Scientists not for non technical persons like me, where we are treated like aliens and no say anywhere. That’s why i am suggesting the young scientists to start the change, let them start and change the system and so called culture. If they are so serious about promotion policies, why it can’t be like non technical cadre, residency period based. They (Scientists) want all the benefits and do not want to do anything. My main reply to their complaint about money paid for promotions is not acceptable. Today’s sapling becomes big tree tmrw. Young scientists atleast now start the change, show the proof that you have strength and you have taken up the matter with the concerned department for change in promotion policies.
When a scientist’s promotion is delayed by just 1 year………..the loss is about 3 lakhs. Keeping this and future pay commissions in mind………..those 10 lakhs are nothing. It is just an investment
The fate of drdo is in the hands of fake senior, unproductive scientists, who are taking decisions in nominating their next successors at project director level, directors level and even they will plan to the highest level of dgs also. They are authorities and master minds in managing and planning this.They are the deciding authorities of juniors fate, lab fate as well the drdo. They are sincerely working and taking salary for promoting their followers. Government should take a firm decision that all these people should work in the hard areas along with the soldiers. Designation “SCIENTIST” should be removed, because they are unfit to hold such great valuable and magnified designation. They cannot stand at par with the great engineer Sir Mokashgundam Visveshwaraiah , Great Sir C.V. Raman. Occupying the top positions in DRDO, these people are wasting government time, money and also harassing subordinates, mis -utilizing their power for their development. We got the freedom. But, we are not able to eradicate the curruption from the system. The main aim and purpose of establishing DRDO is not known now and due to this curruption rocket, we have to bowdown our head in front of a Jawan, who is sacrificing his life, conforts, family to the nation. Why this discrimination? Really if government able to stop the curruption in drdo, especially in purchases, tours, unwanted tds, unwanted meetings and eatings, mis appropriation of the funds, mis utilisation of the transport facility, under utilisation of the man power, mis utilisation of the man power for their personal use….no end for the greedyness of these shame less people. Who will tie the bell to the cat…….govt…judiciary….cvc….ib….cbi… We have not seen god. But let us hope and believe that he will come in some or the other form to save drdo from the cluches of these currupted people. Bharat maa hame raksha kare.
I would request the ministry to stop all funds under miscellaneous head of DRDO,vehicle hiring under project ,construction work , estate funds and then we will see all corrupt senior directors will take premature retirements. All to curtail funds on travel and all recruitments ans assessment thruogh UPSC/IIT only.
EVEN GOD CANNOT SAVE DRDO FROM THIS CORRUPT HANDS
No point to get hardhearted. Each journey started with a single step. All these information must be compiling and processing at Secretary, DM, RM & PM sectt. Results will start coming soon. Thanks Mr Prabhu for your efforts to eradicate corruption from DRDO
I am now seeing some wild allegations and negetive news like payment changing hands for internal promotions etc. This will definitely increase the viewership of this website. In the Indian Legal system, allegations are useless unless evidence is provided. I agree that fight against corruption is a hot and highly relevant subject today. So is the need for development and self reliance in defence sector. Please try and provide as much evidence as possible on this site instead of throwing wild allegations.
We cannot deny that we have a battery of offensive and defensive Missiles today and a flight worthy LCA which completed IOC and handed over to Airforce. I am sure that many of you reading or writing on this blog would know that every country in defence Hardware business will be looking to scuttle any indigenous effort in this direction. While I support all your effort for transperancy and bringing down corruption, please try and avoid spreading false information about the relevance and standard of the products developed by DRDO.
Nowadays wars are fought in the media and not on the battle field. If any country fails to prevent a war with its deterrence capability, the war is already lost. So while open allegations of corruption against few scientists may not have much impact on the country from this point of view, downgrading the public perception of our defence arsenal will definitely have a larger impact. I very often read blogs of our adversaries to know the strength of their indegeneous defence industry. This applies to our adversaries as well. While going through their blog, I have seen many distorted facts being pulled out from websites like this to tarnish our image and show our defence preparedness in low light. Please be vigilant against this. Let not your anger against corruption or individuals, colour your thoughts to an extend where it becomes determental to the country.
If evidence or records of corruption is so easily available, we would not have resorted to this platform to tell the reality. As there are not mechanisms to get these evidences though we are seeing everyday what’s happening, and top brass is so insensitive and self-oriented in their own acquisition of wealth and enjoy pelf, this platform is providing the appropriate method to reveal truth. If government agency is concerned about falsehood of these allegations, please conduct thorough investigation in, say, 2 to 3 months, and let there be a white paper. Also, bring out output or outcome of DRDO’s research and development activities vis-a-vis government funding. Jai ho DRDO.
Sir, corruption in full swing in INMAS Lab (fraud bill in CEP). Many Seniors (Sci E to H) scientists are involved in Corruption, Manley corrupted department in INMAS like Works Department, HRD, Library. MT section. Sir Please take action immedetely
THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN INMAS, DRDO
Another form of assessment business is the one propagated by Dr. R.P.Tripathi, Director, INMAS in collision with DOP. A person who has been on extra ordinary leave since Nov. 2009 to Vienna, Austria for 333 days followed by a “strange deputation” for gainful employment wherein he has opted for UN-joint staff pension fund scheme since Nov. 2010.
CVC enquiry is needed about the terms & conditions of employment & how DRDO since Nov. 2010 is permitting “such deputation” which was only for one year but strangely continuing till date.
GOI rule clearly states that, Foreign Service period on gainful employment should not even be counted for service benefits. Dr. A.K.Singh is counting this for residency purpose also for the reasons best known to him.
Dr.R.P.Tripathi is famous for such clandestine deals with so called “Scientists” as is evident for nearly 50% of the Scientists called for assessment in 2013 & 2014 boards are of outstanding (OS) or extra ordinary category without doing any relevant science.
Dr. Tripathi jate jate bhe INMAS ko 70 lakh ka chunna dewaro par putaii kae naam par lagane ja rahe haii.
Vah rae vah DRDO, sirf INMAS he eklotta esa sansthan hae jhaan rajedancy mae phoren jao tankhaaa bhe uro mae pao, uske baad parmotion bhe pao.
In return Dr. Kashyap has already gifted 7 days Jaunt at Vienna in Sep. 2011 and 5 days Jaunt at Slovenia in Nov. 2013 by using his influence in IAEA.
I wonder, whether I should mention this now after 5 years of its happening! Well, in 2010, I was called for assessment ‘interaction’ after five years as Sc G. I had four major to extraordinary achievements to my credit, one of them was completing within tight timeline, an international obligation for the country, monitored by inspectors from a UN organisation. This was applauded in congratulatory letters from PMO, RM, and Cabinet Secretary, who had been monitoring the program on weekly basis. Other achievements were for developing and inducting a safety system for the nuclear submarine, Arihant, productionization of a system for MBT & T72 tanks thru Army order on a BEL- largest order in the history of that unit, and putting a plant for and completing neutralisation of a highly toxic chemical stored from 1970s for IAF, this also invoked applaud from Vice Chief, since the work freed lot of depot space in which this chemical was stored for all these years. But somehow, the DRDO Chief that time, Dr Sarswat, who liked and so collected only sycophants, did not like my counter reply to some of his comments and straight talk on few occasions. So at his behest, my name was removed from the final list and name of Dr Arun Kumar, who has been doing personnel related jobs (Dir, RAC, & DOP) was added. He got promotion in four years for these job and the jobs for which he was removed from the service on the last day in office. Another example of babugiri and sychophancy being preferred over S&T work in DRDO.
Trio of Dr RP Tripathi, Dr AK Singh and Mr. RK Jain are Masters of the Art and Science of ‘Shifting the GOAL POST’ in favour of the highest Bidder of Multiunit Auction of Scientist H and Director, INMAS post
Fact 1: The last date of submission of Biodata on RAC Template on DRONA for nearly 200 eligible Scientist Gs of DRDO was strictly 1600 hrs on 6th April 2015. But for Dr. Ravi Kashyap, Scientist G, INMAS (presently on a ‘strange deputation’ for doing a pensionable Job at Vienna since past 5 years), this was again NOT APPLICABLE. This is in true letter and spirit of DRDO (Different Rules for Different Officers)
Fact 2: RAC has extensive audio- video conferencing facilities that are regularly being used for interviewing overseas candidates and those who are on deputation abroad (Director, DEBEL was recently selected that way). Why Dr. Ravi Kashyap, on DRDO’s deputation, was not allowed to avail ‘RAC conferencing facilities’ should be anybody’s guess.
The Motive:
Dr. Ravi Kashyap came for ‘Looting’ Scientist H and Director, INMAS post being secretly auctioned by ‘the trio’ (at present Jagirdari of Dr. RP Tripathi who ‘purchased it’ from YogaGURU in 2005 with the help of Dr. AK Singh and ‘managed extension for 2 years also’ in 2013).
The Resultant:
Kashyap Bachare ko uro kharach karke RAC aana para. Sach main – Havala transactions khatarnaak hoti hey Modiji ke jamane main, aamne samne ke achi tarah moll bhav key bad fix hoi deal he sahi deal hoti hey ‘Assessment Business’ main.
The Gainers:
1. Auctioneer Trio of Dr RP Tripathi, OS & Director, INMAS aspiring for another two years extension in September 2015; Dr AK Singh, DOP (True pupil of YogaGURU), a strong aspirant for Scientist ‘H’ and Shri RK Jain, OS & Director, RAC (another close disciple of YogaGURU), a strong aspirant for Distinguished Scientist. En Garib logo ko bhi to uro chahiye apne armaan kharidne key liye.
2. The highest bidder Dr. Ravi Kashyap. RAC, Delhi ka Trip ek tarah se Dr. Ravi Kashyap namak Captalist key liya ek choti se parantu long term Investment hey. Kisi bhi bhaav main mile, es young age main isko pana Kashyap ke liye bahut sasta sodda hey.
Sacchi main RAC and DOP DRDO ke mashoor Auction Houses ban gaye hain. YogaGURU CC(HR) key Golden Period main auction hue Director posts ke nishpaksh jaanch karana DRDO key liye jarori hey tabhu duniya asliyat jaan paegi in consistent 90-95 APAR lene walo Super Outstanding Vaigyaniko ki sachhi asliyat.
Tripathiji ne 2014 Assessment Board me, as Director INMAS, har tarah ke jugaadwandi kar ke apne khaas chelo (aur unke bhi chelo) ka bera paar kara kar khoob paisa banaya hay.
Superoutstanding & outstanding ACR bale tatha ‘strange’ deputation period ko residency period ginwane wale vaigyaniko ka residency period key doraan DRDO key liye real contribution kya tha? DoP aur uski Screening Committees kyon aankh mund kar bhati rahti hey aur FCS ka misuse hone dati hay- ek jaanch ka Vishay hey.
Dwarakanath, Anil Mishra aur Vij ke outstanding assessment call bale scientists ko promotion dilane key liye Tripathi ji ne kya kya nahi kiya. Kissi expert key saath candidate ke presence main dinner khaya. Dr AK Singh, IITD jo ek candidate key PhD guide the, unko hi RAC Board main unke PhD student ka expert banba diya.
INMAS Librarian Vij ko khoob saare usli naqli awards aur social engineering projects ke bal per Scientist G banba diya. INMAS key dusare Library officer bhi kaise bina research main yogdaan diye outstanding calls pate hain aur RAC main jeet kar aate hey CVC enquiry ka subject hay. Kya research, Kitne publications – RAC se promotion pane main inka koe matlab nahi.
Dr. Ravi Kashyap aajkal phir Delhi ghoom raha hay uro ka bag lekar – Tripathiji ki Jagirdari kharedene key liye. Kyonki Havala transactions khatarnaak hoti hey Modiji ke jamane main.
Ghor andhergardi mucchi hue hey RAC aur DoP me. Is tarah key log DRDO ko pura dubo denge
Tripathiji khoob khao/kamao- yeh din dobara nahi aane wale. 10 saal tak INMAS ko khoob loot liya. Sirf 4 mahine bache hain tumhare samrajye ke. PhirYogaGURU aur Prof Kaushik ke tarah Amity University ka bulawa aa jayega ya en kukarmo ka prayaschit karne Haridwar jaana padega.
