To favor M/S Tata Power demands raised against the laid down rule of PM-2006 approved purchased manual of DRDO, The procurement was done in PAC. It is not understood how universal available Personal Computer can become PAC item. In the name of secrecy exemptions are being obtained for publishing in Central Public Procurement Portal (CPP).

The deal for the purchase was approved by the then SA to RM Dr.APJ Abul Kalam.

Excellent,
When this tata power started manufacturing PCs.
In addition PAC and Single tender, there is a new trend of declaring all the items even available in foot path as Sensitive and buying them without publishing in CPP. Prabuji, get the list of all Sensitive, PAC and Single Tender cases and You will know the root of it.
There is a Big scam in DRDO purchases and more than 50 percent of scientists are doing this only and they say, no manpower. There are several experienced TECHNICAL Officers and they never involve them for purchases, though they have vast experience.
Dear Prabhuji
Please look into this case carefully and with much more seriousness. The purchasing of PCs, Desktops from M/S Tata Power through PAC cases by CAIR is by the Director Sanjay Burman. The systems are bulky(10 Kgs), unusable(20% functioning) only in the name of security. He handpicks the committee and in the name of confidential clause spends the money to show that the number of secure systems given by him is increasing. He has engaged some couple of scientist G’s his chelas to sell these systems in the name of secure systems to various DRDO labs. The prices of these systems are exorbitant and functioning low with heavy weight. He does not have the design document for these documents which claims is his inventions.

PAC Specifications: These are available only with the proprietary firms and are protected by the intellectual property right. Hence, PAC specifications are normally not available with the purchaser and firm’s certificate of quality is accepted. However, essential characteristics required for inspection should be available with the procuring and inspecting agencies.
Good ! at last one curruption a/c opened in South zone b lore. If auditor is currupt less, they can reveal n number of currption files . Curruption is part of drdo.like prabuji , at least one person should come forward from each zone to remove currupt officials like designated Scientist in drdo.
Unfortunate, if Dr KD Nayak , DG involved in PC PAC / Curruption etc. He is borne & brought up in Punya Bhoomi (Karnataka) not permitable.
Dr KDN issues are negligible when compare to G Natarajan, OS(Sc H) and Dr PS Krishnan, DS and their “Sisya Vrundas” (Chelas) like D bose Sc G -AGCS & so on. G Natarajan and Dr PS krishnan was in extension for 2 Yrs and continues their services as Contract employees in ADE even now. If audit their tenure MMD files, realities will comes out. Mr G Natarajan used to import Pc’s from Madrass Tamilnadu in the name of Dedicated PC’s ( PIII & P IV) for the cost of 6.5 L to 7.0 L per PC. It shows his patriotism towards Tamilnadu.
A through audit technical and financial of projects is necessary to nail some of the true defaults. One such project is CIDSS-urf-SAMVAHAK-Urf-SAMVAHAK-II. In the name of Command and Control systems CAIR is cheating the services fro past 14 years and the system is still under manufacturing under BEL Bangalore. The services are devoid of a system which they deserve but the money 100 crores are spent and 1000 crores are in line for spending by BEL for production. But the system was so poorly engineered that BEL is again making it instead of production and induction. The scientists of CAIR have cunningly passed on the failure to BEL who is hell bent upon making money by showing numbers rather than giving systems to services. A National waste of 1100 crores. An impartial an intelligent technical and financial audit will revel the truth. But Auditors are often blind to these facts and only stick to the hospitality given by DRDO labs and rule book.
