Making Money in DRDO – A simple guide for Dummies

More stern and steadfast our honorable PM Modi ji becomes to eradicate corruption, more derisive and deceitful DRDO officials become to devise novel methods to siphon off public funds. They are least bothered about propriety or financial prudence in handling public money; on the other hand, they have mastered expertise of the methods to simply transfer funds for non-existing civil works and projects. They are so audacious and open in corrupt practices, at the end of the day they cock a snookat the ever struggling government. They have forgotten their duty to serve the nation and more afflicted with desire for power, pelf and perks and deep in corruption.

One of the civil works wing in DRDO, namely, CCE(R&D) is made for, made by and made of DRDO Scientists,is well known for making money out of nothing. Many government departments indulge in corruption by 30 to 40 %;but, here’s a department expertise in making 100% money for fictitious work. The steps followed by Bangalore based Dummies Guru and his stooges (Aka Alibaba and Chaalis Chor) are given below:

Step 1: Decide how much public funds to be siphoned off and create a fictitious work. Identify a subordinate office with Amiable Docile Employees, who will not question any atrocious attitude of Dalal (of corruption) Guru, who is basically heading a bunch of Audacious Egoistic Reckless Officers.

Step 2: Make a statement of case for this subordinate officer without their knowledge whatever crude way, as those sitting in higher office will not scrutinize the case. The sanctioning authority needs just one paper mentioning amount with signatures, no need to be clear about scope of work, building, work site etc.

Step 3: Move papers secretly without finance concurrence as the work referred is to another organization, this civil work was never existed.Get sanction of work to ever obliging Project Management Office and funds bypassing finance with audacious change of code head from revenue items into capital items (like staircase railings are shown as capital items and there is no need for finance concurrence up to 1.2 crores) and take sanction from DRDO top within this limit.

Step 4: All documents and work fabricated, silently work completion certificate created and funds transferred to predetermined contractor.

Step 5: After sharing booty, all gangster of gangs, celebrate the event watching a movie titled Hum Sab Chor Hai.

In this sample case, A Pretending Nangnaach Timid fellow, who helped earlier his boss, who was Master of Self Certification and fake doctorates in obscure topics, in escaping from the hot wheels taxi misuse case, is again at his old games. He sells himself to be tool in creating non-existing works, fabricating statement of case and obtain surreptitiously sanction for a work. He has heisted the heinous crime on non-suspecting Amiable Docile Employees of another organization. This is a case of blatant misuse of power and fraud on the system. This person even today shamelessly used taxi every day morning and evening from his house to office and back at the official cost while taxi will run vacant two times about 35 to 40 km just to take care of him.

The above example of clearly shows how these greats are at play in obtaining sanction for non-existent works with least respect to the rule book (surprisingly quite often emphasized by own vigilance division), that too for the fabricated work for the other organization. This is especially true for CCE (R&D) which is run by DRDO scientists and any time at the beckon of DG’s and those at HQr. They can do anything and get away with public funds running into lakhs and crores.

It wouldn’t be far off from truth that these worthies, the so called upholder of discipline and legitimate rights to rule DRDO (as per their wish and whims), have mastered the methods to circumvent the well laid down procedures in the system and financial controls to siphon off the public funds with impunity. Now, see the fun, once this report on the ice berg of systematized corruption is out, these dalals of corruption will, instead of retrospection and correction, start witch hunting because how dare someone can question top person indulging in money making business.

Jai ho DRDO.
