DRDO senior scientists feel that DRDO Admin cadre is the biggest hurdle in their day to day manipulations

1 Comment

In DRDO Directors’ Conference 2010, above mentioned view was unopposed accepted by almost all top brasses of DRDO.

Then to defy DOPT guidelines of FCS (Flexible Complementing Scheme) DRDO started to assign scientists, the admin allied and other non technical jobs as full time. Like Administration, Stores, Library, Conservancy, Works, Security, Motor Transport, etc.

As a result, now you see the chaos created by these incompetent scientists everywhere in DRDO. The number of court cases increased multifold. More than hundreds cases are running in various judiciary bodies all over the India. It can be verified by the amount spending by DRDO after 2010 onward.

Now scientists are running after these non scientific assignments because they witnessed in last several  years the promotion jumps of scientists who are engaged in sundry work.

Interestingly, senior scientists who enjoyed these non scientific assignments are also able to pitch their after retirement assignments as consultants on contracts, etc. or members/chairman post of various committees where there are no age limits boundaries.

Recently, scientists also established one more area in the recruitment of admin assistant process for the interview board CEPTAM asked for admin rep. In LASTEC, Dr. A K Maini turned down the name of Sh. Prakash Singh, Senior Administrative Officer -II the single available official for required demand. Instead he sent the name of Ms. Sangeeta Talwar, ineligible for said interview board member as Admin Rep.

Second example that for the same recruitment of admin assistant process for the interview board, Jodhpur, CEPTAM asked for admin rep from DEAL Dehradun. The Director, DEAL, Sh. R C Agarwal proposed the name of his staff officer Sh. Vipin Kaushik, Scientist ‘F’ instead of Sh. K K Mishra, Joint Director, Administration.

There are several examples recently of Sh. Ashok Gupta, Technical Officer ‘C’ INMAS, DRDO who got deputation appointment of Senior Administrative Officer -I through UPSC in SSPL then shifted to DRDO Hqrs., DRDO. This foolish act shows DRDO situation is really very pitiable. How can a technical officer who is recruited for technical job avails the arbitration being a technical person got certified by Director, INMAS and concurrence by DRDO Hqrs that he did administrative /stores assignments.

Government of India has looked in to this DRDO rules manipulation game because these manipulations are a major cause of unproductiveness of this white elephant.

Sub. : Lawlessness and irregularities in the Administration of DRDO

 

Respected sir,
It is our observation that the esteemed organization of DRDO is being infested with the incapable, inefficient and corrupt officers. Nationalistic spirit is being lost fast and selfish and ego-centric attitude is being cropped up among the ranking officers of DRDO. Many of them are the patients of Acquired Immunity of Inefficiency Syndrome!

Mr. Prabhu Dayal Dandriyal from Dehradun is incessantly bringing out the anomalies and corruption in DRDO through his Website ‘Corruption in DRDO’. He is cleansing the DRDO. He has created awareness among the citizens of India about what is going on in DRDO.

For the efficient administration of DRDO, the administration part of it should be handed over to the IAS Officers. Presently the administration of DRDO is done by the Scientists. Actually, the Scientist should work as Scientist only. They are trained in Research work but not in administration. They lack basic legal knowledge. Even they don’t know the Constitution, CCS (CCA) Rules or CCS (Conduct) Rules.  That is why there is inefficiency as well as lawlessness in DRDO.                     

It has been observed that presently more than 80% of the Scientists of DRDO come from Engineering background / faculty. They are proficient at technology but not at Research work. Technology itself is not a science; it is the application of science.  On the contrary, many Science graduates / post-graduates / Doctorates are forced to work as Technical Officers. Thus the Human Resources are not properly utilized in DRDO. The Research workers with Science background should be appointed in as Research Officers / Scientists and not in Technical cadre.

It has also been observed that the Emeritus / Distinguished Scientists are doing the Administrative job without any knowledge of Administration. They are given extensions in service while they are doing administrative job. Actually, extension in service is to be given to the Scientists to complete the Research work in hand. But it is seen that the Directors, CCR&Ds are unnecessarily given extensions. Some of them are working up to the age of 65 years!  The IAS Officers are retired at 60 but these administrators, under the guise of Scientists are enjoying extensions even for 5 to 6 years after retirement age. These anomalies need to be stopped immediately in the national interest.

If the DRDO is not cleansed in time, the defence scenario will be different. We do not afford to neglect the danger which is posing a threat to the security of our nation. The corrupt officials are the enemies of the nation. They will not hesitate even to sell out the Country if they get a chance. This scoundrel sect must be dealt with severely.

As a Defence Minister, it is your paramount duty to pay heed to the cleansing process of DRDO taken up by Mr. Prabhu Dayal Dandriyal. Our NGO is firmly backing him for his noble work.

The reins of Defence Ministry of India are in your able hands and the whole nation believes in your leadership.

Thanking you,

President / Secretary
