Fate of India's only EMP hardened SATCOM terminal

29th October 2010

Dear Dr  Saraswat Ji Jaihind

I had been writing to you the involvement of Sh R C Aggarwal, Director, DEAL in neck deep corruption.

1.         He has divided the DEAL Lab in to two parts. You have visited both main building as well as SIDEC building

2.         SIDEC building was constructed under program of surveillance –DEAL component. Set of terminals of KU Band with Voice DATA Video facilities have supposed to developed and given to the user.

3.         The building was made to make a centre of surveillance.

4.         The same building has been renamed by Sh R C Aggarwal, Director, DEAL as Center of Excellence in Radio.

5.         More than 250 man power  are deployed and working out the possibility of software component for Software Defined Radio (SDR) Rs 100 Corers project. The hardware of which will be procured from international market.

6.         A 500 KVA huge Genset was procured to cater the power requirement of SIDEC building. Without realizing the all other aspect of this procurement i.e. whether  it is worth to use so big Genset and from which head the huge fuel consumption (hundreds of liter diesel per day) & maintainace will be managed. Huge sum of commission was received and prime goal was achieved.

7.          Initially the diesel received from supply depot for other project vehicles mainly the three TATA trucks under project “SARVADRISTA”    was used for 500 KVA Genset of SIDEC building.

8.          These vehicles have hardly moved out DEAL and so therefore there were plenty audit objection for showing diesel consumption of these vehicles. The vehicles do not moved but consumed hundreds of liters diesel every day.

9.          Sh R C Aggarwal, Director, DEAL decided to condemned all three vehicles including EMP hardened shelter which housed the only  available EMP hardened SATCOM terminal in the country to just counter audit objection of  diesel consumption.

10.     May I request you to intervene and issue your directive to Director DEAL not to waste the national asset and protect the only available EMP hardened SATCOM terminal to be scrapped. Please watch each and every activity of  Sh R C Aggarwal he can sold the country for his personal gain and maintain legacy of Dr AS Bains.

Thanking you

God Father- II

27th October 2010

Dear Dr  Saraswat Ji Good Morning

The God Father culture has not paid to the DRDO while working of projects of national importance.

When after lot of efforts “EMP Hardening of SATCOM Terminal” was sanctioned to DEAL, Dehradun after completion of project you ( Dr Saraswat then Director RCI in 1999) personally visited to witness the success of project. I was there along with the project team and demonstrated you the indeginiously developed EMP Hardened 32 pin Connector (KALI) which was capable to consume/absorb 12.5 K Amp current surge.

You appreciated and told to Dr A S Bains then Director, DEAL to go for production of this connector under CODE program of DRDO.  Dr. Kalam even said apply for patent.

The God Father culture killed our enthusiasm as Dr A S Bains the blue eyed boy of Dr Atre did not allow any further work on EMP Phase-II and the infra structure developed for EMP work the part of DRDO’s huge 81000 Corers is still lying idle and waiting for as usual condemnation.

In my interview with Dr. Atre in SA ‘s room at south block on 12.30 Hrs 10th April 200, he was blunt  while discussing the issue of nuclear conflict and protection from EMP a byproduct of nuclear burst. Please look the following:

I know with your hard work you have reached to this highest post of DRDO and busy with lot of national security issues but neither you can forget your visit in DEAL nor you can ignore at this stage the importance of EMP hardening.

I can simply request you to take initiative seriously and examine if at all DRDO can take a program on “Submarine Communication”.

India is surrounded by neighbors having nuclear arms and they have already made Indian ocean a base for their nuclear submarines.

Thanking you

God Father


24th October
2010

Dear Dr  Saraswat Ji Good Morning

The initial objective of DRDO was to help and cooperate the defence forces in augmenting the new weapon and wherever possible, with limited resources, to developed the import substitute.

The mission was taken up with full honesty but due to blind faith on imported knowledge base we deviated from achieving the goal.

People like Dr.A.S.Bains was given an opportunity to work in DRDL simply considering the fact that he had helped in procuring components of missiles and components of Radar.

These fellow salesman after joining as scientist they spoiled the honest, dedicated, work culture with self respect and a new culture was developed where corruption and nepotism took the fore front and Dr.A.S.Bains had a God Father (Dr V.K. Atre) to protect him.

I as whistle blower informed DRDO Hqrs the corrupt and ant-national activity of Dr.A S Bains.

Enclosed letter reveals that M/S Wave Components System Associates (India), M-39 (LGF), Chitranjan Park, New Delhi- 110065 and M/S Celestia Impex Pvt. Ltd, 557, Tower-III Kailash Apartment, New Delhi- 110065 did not imported anything during April 2000 to March 2004 (during US sanction) as confirmed by Office of The Commissioner of Customs (Import & General), New Custom House, New Delhi in reply of my RTI request vide their letter no C.No VII/CPIO/RTI/I&G/51/2010/35934 dated 11/10/2010, However these both companies supplied worth corers of rupees US manufactured high-tech components to DEAL, Dehradun.

The Custom says that nothing was imported from these firms then the custom duty exemption certificate issued by DEAL – where it was used?

Here the big question arise from where they sourced the components – as per reliable sources that the components sourced from DRDL and because of large quantity the both firm asked that split the order so they can easily rotate the components with help of then Director, DEAL Dr.A S Bains.

I raised this foul play of Dr A S Bains and his coterie (Dr.K.D Nayak, CCR&D, Sh K. Sivakumar, Sc’G’, Sh RP Dixit, Sc’G’Sh Virpal Singh Sc’G’,Sh Ashok Kumar Sc’G’, Col J.K.Sharma, Retd, Capt P.K.Shukla, DRDO Hqrs, Sh Sushil Verma, Sc’F’) who were playing major role to managed these fake procurements and Dr A.S Bains played role of God Father for his coterie so as they are still enjoying your patronage some are sitting in DRDO Hqrs and some are still in DEAL.

These culprits are answerable to all poor tax payers and the defence forces. If their family members will come to know their involvement   in such a heinous crime where they fool the country and also for their   unethical rising carrier how can they save their face.

The God Father culture makes a person irresponsible, aggressive, bold and creator of nuisance. Dr A S Bains created nuisance for which DRDO has come under embracing situation and to protect this NRI (Dr.A.S.Bains), DRDO Hqrs put all its energy and again issued lot of bluffs statements to PMO,MOD and other GOI agencies who are asked to investigate many times these corrupt issues.

God Father culture has prompted Sh R.C. Aggarwal, Director, DEAL to revolt/defy the orders of SA to RM, he simply  says that Dr Sarswat has been made SA to RM with the help of his God Father and I am sitting in DEAL as Director with the blessing of my God Father. He did not hesitated in committing a criminal act when he stopped the NVIS communication activity which had importance to connect joint operations of ARMY, NAVY and AIRFORCE in network centric warfare. NVIS could connect without any extra resources to three services operational in 200 Km radius in a war theatre.

He also stopped the EMP activity of DEAL as guided by Dr. A S Bains and Dr V.K Atre. I personally asked Dr V.k.Atre in his office ten years ago about his view on EMP activity at DEAL; his prompt reply was I can stop any EMP activity. I do not foresee nuclear conflict in this region. Dr Atre forgot that China and Pakistan is well equipped with nuclear arms.

In DRDO no degrees, experiences, visions, leadership, administrative capability, the research contributions, international publications are  the criteria  to get top positions only you need is – God Father.

Thanking you

DEAL's Latest News

                                                         20th October 2010

Dear Dr  Saraswat Ji Good Morning                   

DEAL, Dehradun under the able leadership of Sh R C Aggarwal, Director, DEAL, Dehradun has achieved rarest of the rare transparency in the system management. Now the four wall is like a glass and action are visible from the outside. DEAL was isolated from the hassle & bushel of city as long as Sh Ashok Sen was Director. This transparency has resulted due to ever high corruption and nepotism.

Nepotism has directed the manpower stop the function of machine and the precious money sanction under various heads are pouring out to the contractors/supplier’s pocket. The contractors are so powerful that they can be heard discussing in the market that “Director DEAL is in my pocket”

A officer was allotted type-IV quarter but the contractor did not allow to him to enter his allotted scoter shed as contractor had been using the same as godown /storage house. For nearly six months the young officer was requesting with folded hand to the contractor for vacate the scooter shed, but the contractor vacated only after the officer submitted an application that DEAL premises might use for keeping illegal explosive one day since it is secured zone and very good place for hiding such stuff.

SDR Business – Sir, you should appreciate the efforts made by Sh R C Aggarwal, Director, DEAL for planning expenditure under SDR project (100 Corers). He has directed to five project directors of SDR to place an order with internationals companies 15 number of SDR each. This procurement not only help in importing 75 sets  costing more than 10 corers excluding commission but it will help to keep the DRDO straight by original techniques of removing the cover and giving cosmetic touch with logo of DRDO.

Such practice we have been following in almost system development cases. The shop keeper of Kashmiri Gate are master to do the job under supervision of Sh Srivastava of LASTECH. You should praise Sh R C Aggarwal for giving you opportunity to take pat from Defence Minster. From R & D the research part has been vanished and the new mission of DRDO is “Development Contract”      

Thanking you

British Culture revives in DRDO

8th October 2010

Dear Dr  Saraswat Ji Good Morning

Recently the nation celebrated the birthday of father of nation, people called him Bapu, the warrior without gun or proper uniform known as Mahatma Gandhi.

Hope while sitting in your office you will remember him for his simplicity and able leadership. He becomes idol for poor’s not for those who are getting salary! lakh+ and delivering nothing.

The officer comes from diverse background one thing is common i.e. ego. Mahatma Gandhi buried his ego but the ego become symbol of prosperity, people having poor background and origin to a remote village if by chance they become Scientists/Officer in DRDO revived the British Culture.

A poor man son belonging to a remote place of UP, when became director, DEAL, DRDO revived the British Raj Culture in DEAL, Dehradun, since November 2007. In a journey from charge man to director, he noticed the status of serving directors in DRDO and accumulated all the negative qualities and always thought getting opportunity one day he will realize it in principle.

Currently 12-16 conservancy staff headed by a Technical Officer Sh Rajiv Verma reaches to his residence in the morning 6’ocloak to say good morning Sir. They spent the day in cleaning of utensil, to clothes, to dig the field, growing the vegetables, but their salaries being paid by poor tax payers money. The corridors of DEAL premises are full of foul smells, they are not cleaned but the cleaning and kitchen garden of director’s residence has become the talk of town.

The same conservancy people/daily wages laborer who were suppose to get EPF benefit are deprived off due to the ignorance shown by Sh RC Aggarwal because the beneficiaries are  agarwal brothers (The contractor, Sh Hemant Gupta, HMM etc) When a senior responsible officer objected for this practice of ignoring EPF clause 9 The fundamental rights of the laborer it remain unheeded.

There are many things going on in DEAL which can be compared with British Raj Period. Britishers ignore the Indians because they were outsiders, but here the exploiters are our own brothers.

The size of his ego has even hurt the SA to RM (as CC & coordinator), the PMO project SPIC wanted communication assistance from then director DEAL & it was extended but Sh RC Agarwal wanted to show his supremacy to director, SPIC, withdrew the support until you discussed with him personally at development enclave. (Hope you remember the episode)

Ignorance of important national deference program NVIS, you have already noticed.

I hope next time when you visit DEAL you will be offered genetically clean, organic vegetables from directors residence. Please do not forget the precious vegetable gift from Sh RC Agarwal.

RTI: A Hope for Common People

-Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson, United Progressive Alliance

Respected Madam Namsakar Vande Matram

Refer to Amar Ujala, Dehradun dated 16th Sept 2010 your statement on the application of RTI to expose the corruption is very timely and it has given a moral support to the RTI activists. The developing process always brings some success and some failure. If there is no honesty in our approach or if the government servants disobey the fundamental duties (42nd amendment of constitution – Article 51 (i) the RTI is the only solution which can guarantee the common people for their fundamental right.

I as a RTI activist raised some of the genuine issues and sought information under RTI Act 2005 from DRDO, Ministry of Defence, GOI. The CPIO and Appellate Authority of DRDO Hqrs denied the information and took shelter of Schedule-II of RTI Act 2005.

The information’s I sought are related to corruption, HR polices, achievements of DRDO there was no any information asked which has any strategic importance,  but instead of giving information CPIO, DRDO Hqrs rang me in my residence and threatened me for 17.26 minutes. I have lodged the complained with SSP, Dehradun. (Copy enclosed)

The Appellate Authority of DRDO organized a meeting of 10 officials from Hyderabad, Dehradun and DRDO Hqrs and decided illegal action like income tax raid/IB raid at my residence. They wrote to CIC that to cooperate as DRDO do not want to give any information against my RTI requests.

Therefore, I requested protection from DGP, Uttarakhand (Copy enclosed)

This is an example of premier highly qualified organization of Government of India that how and which manner DRDO is handling the RTI’s issues, so one can imagine the RTI Act future in other Government department.

Madam I request you as a UPA chairperson and a big supporter of RTI Act please extend your support to RTI activists as the common goal of RTI activist and UPA is to fight against corruption prevailing in the system.

Jaihind

CEPTAM Recuritment Game

30th September 2010

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

20 Rupees Plier returns to Belarus by Air

24th September 2010

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

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 4th June 2010 & 8th June 2010

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

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 18th 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 20th 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 16th 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 3rd August 2010 and you have decided and dispose of the 16 different matter’s different subjects appeals in single decision on 16th 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.
