सेवानिवृत होने वाले अधिकारियों को बिना अनुमति लिए मनमर्जी से सेवा विस्तार देने पर रोक लगा दी है। पिछले शुक्रवार को जारी आफिस मेमोरेंडम में सेवा विस्तार देने के पहले प्रधानमंत्री की अगुआई वाली नियुक्ति संबंधी मंत्रिमंडलीय समिति (एसीसी) की मुहर लेना अनिवार्य कर दिया है। इसके पहले प्रधानमंत्री अपने मंत्रियों को संप्रग सरकार के मंत्रियों के निजी स्टाफ के रूप में काम कर चुके अधिकारियों को निजी सचिव और ओएसडी रखने पर रोक लगा दी थी।
कार्मिक मंत्रालय के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने कहा कि सेवानिवृत होने वाले अधिकारियों को बिना एसीसी की अनुमति के सेवा विस्तार देने की परंपरा सी बन गई थी। सेवा विस्तार देने के बाद उसे एसीसी के पास मंजूरी के लिए भेजा जाता था। यही नहीं, कई बार एसीसी के पास अंतिम समय में सेवा विस्तार के लिए फाइल भेजी जाती थी और समय पर कार्रवाई नहीं होने की स्थिति में अस्थायी तौर पर सेवा विस्तार दे दिया जाता था, लेकिन प्रधानमंत्री मोदी ने साफ कर दिया है कि बिना एसीसी से पूर्व मंजूरी लिए किसी भी सेवानिवृत अधिकारी को सेवा विस्तार नहीं दिया जाएगा।
नई व्यवस्था के तहत सभी मंत्रालय और विभागों को सेवा विस्तार की अनुमति की फाइल एसीसी के पास संबंधित अधिकारी के सेवानिवृत होने से दो महीने पहले भेजना होगा। ताकि एसीसी में उस पर विस्तार से विचार किया जा सके।
कार्मिक मंत्रालय के अनुसार यदि मंत्रालय किसी अधिकारी एसीसी की अनुमति मिलने के पहले दिया गया सेवा विस्तार अवैध होगा और संबंधित अधिकारी को सेवानिवृत माना जाएगा। बता दें कि एससीसी में प्रधानमंत्री के अलावा गृह मंत्री राजनाथ सिंह सदस्य हैं। पहले संबंधित मंत्रालय के मंत्रियों को भी एसीसी में शामिल किया गया था, लेकिन मोदी सरकार में एसीसी में उन्हें जगह नहीं मिली है।
TNN | Sep 27, 2014, 05.54AM IST NEW DELHI: The Centre has made approval of appointments committee of the cabinet (ACC) mandatory for extending the service of scientists employed with the government, beyond their superannuation.
“All the scientific ministries/departments are hereby advised to take timely action for constitution of the departmental peer review committee (DPRC) for considering the cases for extension of service of specialists in medical or scientific fields, beyond the normal date of superannuation and ensure that the proposals seeking approval of the ACC be invariably submitted at least two months in advance of the date of superannuation,” the department of personnel and training said in an order.
The order pointed out cases where scientific ministries and departments have not taken timely action to reconstitute the DPRC, an expert body which meets biennially to consider cases of extension to scientists retiring over the next six months. The recommendations of the DPRC are then sent to the establishment officer for final approval by the ACC.
The note said an officer, in the absence of a specific approval of ACC towards extension of his services beyond the date of superannuation, should stand retired on the day of his superannuation. “Under no circumstances should the ministry/department concerned extend his services…unilaterally without the approval of ACC,” it said.
Our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given an enthusiastic and passionate call for ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ to realise Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of cleanliness, urging everyone to devote minimum two hours every week towards cleanliness. Needless to say that the “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” is the crying need, as India, the otherwise recognized religious and spiritual capital of the world is also well-known as the filthiest country on the globe. ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ is a mass movement to realize Gandhi’s visualization of clean India by 150th Birth Anniversary on 2nd October 2019. The Mahatma’s visualisation of cleanliness was three-pronged – a clean mind, a clean body and clean surroundings. Holding that ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness’, he emphatically wrote, “We can no more gain God’s blessing with an unclean body than with an unclean mind. A clean body cannot reside in an unclean city”. (Young India 19/11/1925) An old proverb says, “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” This means that cleanliness comes next to godliness in importance.The whole statement means cleanliness takes a common man to the proximity of God. This journey starts from cleanliness of clothes, body and surroundings. Everything around us should be clean and beautiful. For which, Addison says “Beauty produces love, but cleanliness preserves it”. The very famous quote of our “Father of Nation” is “I WILL NOT LET ANYONE WALK THROUGH MY MIND WITH THEIR DIRTY FEET”. Then, there is the cleanliness of mind. Mind should be clear off from all the feelings of hatred, harm and haram (sinful). Buddha’s eight fold path emphasized much in the cleanliness of mind. When the dirt of sinfulness is obliterated from the screen of mind, noble, lovable and pious actions come into action. Mahatma Gandhi also told that “Cleanliness of mind and body is the first step in education”. Means शिक्षा का पहला चरण दिमाग और शरीर की सफार्इ है. DRDO is spending crores of rupees onEnvironmental Control Hygiene Maintenance Services (ECHMS) contract. For example the open tender for DMSRDE, Kanpur dated 01 September 2014 is having an estimated cost of Rs. Twenty two Lakhs Fifty Thousand and Open tender for ADE, Bangalore dated 16-09-2014 is having an estimated cost of Rs. One Crore. So DRDO top management should not worried about cleanliness of roads, residential complexes, offices, work places, parks/gardens and toilets etc. DRDO officials needs cleanliness of mind based on principles of Mahatma Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi that will make DRDO corruption free and that will be true homage to Mahatma Gandhi Ji and real contribution in Prime Minister “Clean India Mission”.
2nd October – Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti
Mahatma Gandhi Vision – Gandhi Ji’s loves Harijan & weaker section of society DRDO Acts – Harass SC/ST and minorities by all means to giving them base less Charge sheets, Deprive with promotions, awards and other benefits. The number of representations to grievances cell, SC/ST commission and CAT cases and minorities commissions are shows the clear picture of pathetic DRDO HR. The Madras high court on 25th September 2014 awarded a three-week jail term to the DRDO two so called top scientists for contempt of court Dr G Malakondaiah, CC R&D, DRDO and Padam Vibhusan Dr V K Saraswat, Ex DG, DRDO for harassing a minority individual Sh. S Joseph Raj shows the height of high egoism prevailing in top DRDO officials.

Snehlata Shrivastav,TNN | Sep 28, 2014, 04.46 AM IST
Nagpur: Like any automobile, submarines generate a lot of harmful gases like carbon-mono-oxide (CO). India was importing special room filters for submarines which could absorb CO as well as other gases. To ensure safety of the Naval staff, the Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO) has not only developed its own CO filters called ‘CFKIII room filters’ but also room filters that can absorb over 40 different gases, at almost one fifth of the imported cost.
The information on CO filter is on display at the three-day AXIS technical festival organized by students of the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT). In fact, India is the first country to develop a CO filter which can work for indefinite period even in heavy moisture conditions as compared to the Russian filter costing about Rs1 lakh.
On inquiring about the filter, sources in DRDO headquarters told TOI that the organization has developed other types of room filters too which can prevent over 40 harmful gases including hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, stibine, hydrogen cyanide, acrolein. These filters need to be changed after 45 days and one ship needs at least 14 different filters.
DRDO Gwalior laboratory has developed many equipment and techniques which can detect, protect and decontaminate the chemical warfare agents Sarin, Soman and Tabun. A filter paper like strip attached to any human body part changes into various colours that help in detecting the type of chemical. This lab has also developed a toe-to-head carbon coated suit and a mask which filters everything else and allows only oxygen to go in.
Another DRDO lab, Centre for Fire Explosives and Environment Safety in Delhi, has recently developed a light weight ‘fire proximity suit’ which has five layers of protective material. It has also developed an Emergency Escape Chute (EEC) which can take a load up to 4 to 5 tonne and can be used effectively for evacuating people from high rise buildings, oil rig platforms and can be used together with auto-inflatable raft. The lab is yet to transfer the technology to a manufacturer.
The Solid State Physics Laboratory of DRDO in Delhi has made an indigenous alternative hand held equipment to highly expensive imported one. Since it can detect chemical warfare agents effectively, it is being called as e-nasika or-e-nose which can sniff any chemical. It uses ‘surface acoustic wave’ or SAW sensors. It will be manufactured by Bharat Electricals Limited in Pune. Against the imported version costing Rs20 lakh, this one costs just Rs5 lakh.
NEW DELHI: In a message to the Defence Research Development Organisation that has over a dozen scientists working on tenures beyond 60, the government has frowned at the tendency of giving extensions to scientists without consulting the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is said to be unhappy with DRDO’s functioning and had recently advocated that five out of the 52 DRDO labs be manned by young scientists after reports with the government revealed that as many as 358 scientists had quit DRDO between 2009 and 2013.
A government note sent on Friday to nine ministries and departments which have specialists in scientific or medical fields, including DRDO and Department of Space, the Department of Personnel and Training has said that the ACC headed by the prime minister has observed that in some cases, departments have unilaterally extended the service officers beyond the age of superannuation without obtaining the approval of ACC.
“It is reiterated that in absence of specific approval of ACC towards extension of services beyond the date of superannuation, an officer should stand retired on his date of superannuation and under no circumstances should the Ministry/Department extend his services beyond superannuation unilaterally without approval of ACC,” the note says. This also comes on the heels of the success of the Mars Orbiter Mission where Modi had praised scientists at ISRO for the feat.
In Friday’s note, the policy drawn up by the NDA government in 2002 was pointed to, which said that any tenure extensions to scientists should be “only in really exceptional circumstances” and only if the retiring specialist “is not just one of the outstanding officers but is really head and shoulders above the rest”.
That policy also said that too many cases of extensions are likely to cause “frustration and affect morale of upcoming scientists who have exposure to latest technological developments.” In 2012, DRDO admitted that 37 scientists — 12 of whom were in distinguished category — were on extended tenures. This was despite the Rama Rao Committee, which carried out the first external review of DRDO in 2008, calling for a younger profile of top scientists. DRDO secretary Avinash Chander is also working on an extension.
ET had reported on August 23 that Modi was not happy about this situation and had sought all details after he was told about the high attrition rate among younger scientists. Friday’s note also goes out to the departments of Atomic Energy, Science and Technology, Scientific and Industrial Research, Information Technology and Environment Ministry.
