The post had been vacant since May after the then Chief Dr. S. Christopher stepped down
The Government on Saturday appointed eminent scientist Dr. G. Satheesh Reddy as the Chairman of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

The top post of the DRDO had been vacant since May after the then Chief Dr. S. Christopher stepped down.

“The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved the appointment of Dr. G Satheesh Reddy, Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri to the post of Secretary, Department of Defence Research & development and Chairman, DRDO for a period of two years with effect from the date of assumption of charge or until further orders, whichever is earlier,” a Government order said.

A missile scientist, Dr. Reddy was holding charge as the Scientific Advisor to the Defence Minister and also as Director General of the strategic missiles division.

As head of the Research Centre Imarat (RCI), he is credited with the indigenous development of seeker technology, a critical component in missiles.

ALL IS NOT WELL WITH DRDO FUNCTIONING

11 Comments

Wednesday, 09 May 2018 | PNS | Dehradun 
In a big goof up which puts up a question mark over the functioning of country’s premier institute involved in research in the field of defence, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), an official posted as Estate Manager in Dehradun has been transferred to a position which doesn’t even exits. In an order dated April 27, the directorate of personnel, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi transferred Estate Manager, Maintenance, Dehradun, D P Singh to Project office, Dehradun along with 12 other officials. As per the order his place in Dehradun would be taken over by the Estate Manager, Hyderabad, William Paul. The transfer order bears signature of personnel director Gopal Bhushan.

The order clearly states that the transfers would be applicable from May 1 and the transferred personnel should take new charge assigned to them within 30 days of the issue of the order. The order has however created a piquant situation in Dehradun as there is no project office here as depicted in the order. When contacted the Director ITM,(DRDO) Sanjay Tandon said, “ The order has come from headquarters so one should inquire about it from there only. It could be a typographical error or there could be a plan to set up new office here.”

It is pertinent to mention here that D P Singh has been working on the post of Estate Manager from last 12 years. He was looking after the task of appointment of contract workers in all three institutes of DRDO in Dehradun, the Defence Electronic Application Laboratory (DEAL), Instruments Research and Development Establishment (IRDE) and Institute of Technology Management (IMT).

The transfer of D P Singh was long overdue and the way he was transferred from one office in Dehradun to another nonexistent office in Dehradun only has raised many an eyebrow in all three offices of DRDO located here.

Sachin Tendulkar sought favours from defence minister Manohar Parrikar: Report

Sachin Tendulkar sought favours from defence minister Manohar Parrikar: Report Sachin Tendulkar, cricket player and Rajya Sabha member, reportedly sought favours from defence minister over a holiday retreat that was in a dispute with DRDO.

Sachin Tendulkar, cricket player and Rajya Sabha member, reportedly sought favours from defence minister over a holiday retreat that was in a dispute with DRDO.

Cricket star and MP Sachin Tendulkar apparently lobbied with Defence minister Manohar Parrikar last year to settle a dispute between his friend’s retreat in Mussoorie and a defence institute over an ‘illegal’ construction.

Parrikar however declined to intervene in the matter, reports The Economic Times.
The urgency of the matter could be gauged from the fact that Tendulkar had to advance his return to India from Australia to take up the matter with the minister, the daily said, citing defence ministry officials.

The holiday retreat — Dahlia Bank in the Landour cantonment area — had allegedly violated the 50-foot, no-construction zone next to the Institute of Technology Management, a sensitive DRDO establishment, the daily said.

Tendulkar had been trying to meet the minister and an appointment was set up. He spoke at length about the property case, which was heard out. However, no action was taken on the request put forward,” ET quoted a senior defence ministry official as saying.
The dispute arose over Tendulkar’s business partner Sanjay Narang constructing buildings, despite having sought and obtained approval to construct a tennis court in the restricted, high-security zone.
The Dahlia Bank controversy was in the news even in 2014, when Ajit B Reddy, CEO of Landour Cantonment, referred to the construction activities at the retreat as “unauthorised,” according to a Hindustan Times report in December 2014.

Tendulkar’s friend Sanjay Narang approached the Supreme Court to appeal against an Uttaranchal High Court order that ruled against him.

In February 2015, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court’s decision. An SC bench comprising Justice Pinaki Chandra Gosh and Ranjan Gogi, termed the construction work as “illegal,” The Tribune had reported on Feb. 25, 2015, referring to the February 17 judgment.
The Institute of Technology Management was set up in 1962 to train defence personnel.

Tendulkar has multiple sports and business interests. He is a mentor of the IPL team, Mumbai Indians, co-promoter of Smaaash Entertainment, and co-owner of ISL team Kerala Blasters.

Subject: DRDO Contract Business

Sir,

Recently on 26th April Sunday Standard published a news article “Defence Secrets in Danger” DRDO, CVO, Major Genera Ajay Gupta sent a letter no DVS/02/2052/M/01dated 8th May 2015 to all DRDO establishments and inquired about the ground reality of contract business in DRDO. The effect of letter is that almost 30 to 40% contracts appointment curtailed by DRDO establishments.

Sir, the persons specially retired from DRDO who are working on contracts since 5 to 10 years even more and the basis of their contract is purely blackmail, because they they very well know the wrong doings of senior DRDO officials who are in the position. And DRDO, CVO letter is ineffective for them. your personal intervention is needed to save the DRDO organisation.

Please see a letter received from the well wisher and sufferer of such illegal bonding of DRDO corrupt officials.

With DRDO chief S Christopher’s posting, govt signals end of extension era

6 Comments

By Manu Pubby, ET Bureau | 30 May, 2015, 05.44AM IST

NEW DELHI: The government has sent a firm signal against the rampant culture of service extensions at Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) with the appointment of its new head, S Christopher, who has superseded the top four scientists who are all on their second extension at the country’s premier research body.

While questions are now being raised about the future of the four scientists – who are designated as director generals of different branches at DRDO headquarters and are several years senior in service to Christopher – the government has made its preference for promoting younger scientists clear

When DRDO chief Avinash Chander was removed from his post in January, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had said that one of the reasons for the change was that the government wanted younger scientists to come up. Going by this principle, the government considered only Christopher and AM Datar for the post, with Christopher making the cut on the basis of seniority, officials said.
While Chander was removed from the job with a terse message from the cabinet secretariat, the future of the four scientists on second extension – which allows them to serve till the age of 64 against the retirement age of 60 – may not be too bright.

The second top appointment at DRDO is also being watched with much interest. The choice of GS Reddy, a missile scientist, to the newly created separate post of Scientific Advisor to the Raksha Mantri, is believed to be part of a new deep selection approach to groom talent. patern et 30 may 2015

New DRDO Chief Takes Over, Scientists Hail Appointment

3 Comments

By IANS Published: 29th May 2015 01:37 PM – The New Indian Express
NEW DELHI: Radar specialist S. Christopher took charge as the new director general of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and its secretary at on Friday morning, with the appointment being welcomed by defence scientists and officials.

Christopher was on Thursday night appointed chief of the premier defence research agency for two years by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet.

The DRDO was without a full-time chief for around four months ever since Avinash Chander was unceremoniously removed on January 31.

Christopher was heading the Bengaluru-based Centre for Airborne Systems and the project to develop an airborne early warning and control system before his new appointment.

Earlier, DRDO chief was also the scientific adviser to the defence minister, but the post has now been split.

Missile scientist G.S. Reddy was appointed as the scientific adviser to Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar for two years on Thursday night.

DRDO scientists and officials welcomed the appointment, saying that functional difficulties had cropped up due to the absence of a full-time DRDO chief.

“It is a welcome step; without a full-time chief cost DRDO in the last four months; impacted the work as coordination was suffering,” a senior DRDO official told IANS.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar recently said that the absence of a full-time DRDO chief was being compensated with more powers to cluster heads.

A DRDO official, however, maintained that it did not solve the problem.

“Coordination between clusters is needed for smooth running of things. That is where the problem was,” said an official aware of the developments.

A senior scientist, meanwhile, said that some tests also suffered due to lack of clear guidance.

“Some tests suffered because there was lack of clarity. There was no clear boss; it makes a lot of difference,” said the scientist.

Officials also appreciated the decision to split the post of DRDO chief to appoint a separate scientific adviser to the defence minister.

“The role of scientific adviser must extend beyond the DRDO. There are other departments, like ordnance factories, which also need to be focused upon. This is a good move,” a senior scientist told IANS.

“The DRDO chief and scientific adviser will have to work in close coordination though; a new structure is now expected to evolve,” the scientist added.

Christopher’s predecessor Chander held the posts of director general, DRDO, and scientific adviser to the defence minister, and secretary DRDO.

Defence Secretary R.K. Mathur was later given the additional charge of secretary DRDO.

Mathur retired on May 24.

J&K HC orders FIR against teacher who fails to write essay on cow

Leave a comment

PTI | May 16, 2015, 03.39 PM IST – Times of India
SRINAGAR: The J&K High Court made a teacher write an essay on cow and solve a class IV maths problem in an open court and ordered slapping a case against him when he failed, inviting strong observations from the judge who wanted “soulless” authorities to close down education “tuck shops”.

The direction came yesterday when Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar was hearing a petition challenging appointment of Mohammad Imran Khan as Rehbar-e-Taleem (education guide) teacher in a school in south Kashmir.

The petitioner had alleged that Khan’s certificates — issued by Board of Higher Secondary Education Delhi and Global Open University, Nagaland were not recognised. The marksheet issued to the respondent by the Board of Higher Secondary Education Delhi showed he had secured 74 per cent, 73 per cent and 66 per cent in Urdu, English and Maths respectively.

The court asked a senior counsel to give a simple line for translation from English to Urdu and vice-versa but the teacher failed.

The teacher was then asked to write an essay on ‘cow’ in Urdu, but he failed. Khan sought permission to write the essay outside the court room, which was granted but he failed again.

Khan, who claimed he had better hold on Mathematics, was then asked to solve a maths problem for 4th graders.

As he failed yet again, a visually perturbed Justice Attar said,”In this situation, what would be the fate of the state has to be only visualised. The school going children ….would pass out as blockheads.”

“The authorities, responsible to ensure that the stream of academics and education is not polluted in the state of J&K, however, in view of the facts, which have surfaced in this case, have acted as soulless bodies with ray-less eyes, as they have criminally condoned and over-looked the Himalayan blunders committed in procuring the academic degrees,” the court observed.
