The post has been vacant since January 31 when the government terminated then chief Avinash Chander’s contract.

It means GOI in no mood to offer responsibility to above three stalwarts of DRDO.
May be Parrikar Shahib received bunch of Anonymous letter in which the DRDO officials exposes their great achievements like connections with suppliers / vendors, their encouragement towards incompetent beloveds, their technical compatibility, managing their in house awards, specially their patronage and soft corner to some one special like Sh Avinash Chander pattern.
We request to PMO, MoD this time they should take care all above, IB clearance, clear vision, original subject knowledge, not deemed private universities credentials, most important is the feedback from younger scientists because they are future of DRDO and they need fearless environment to grow so they can able to deliver their best.

These DRDO fake Scientists are using media for publishing paid news. media is completely corrupt now days and media should be brought under RTI ACT by the Government as all Print & Electronic \Media are doing paid news these days.
Every body knows DRDO is having media budget of more than Rs two cr so to spen this public money these top scientist of DRDO are playing the game.
Now ACC approved Additional Charge of Secretary, DRD to Defence Secretary up to 24 August 2015, so for next three month no scope for any DRDO great Scientist.
