  5. Some other projects related to installation of Green Houses were also completed by DRL, Tezpur with following details.DRL GH cvc table 2DRL GH cvc table 3

Installation of two Green Houses at DRL, Dett. At Tawang

DRL, Tezpur has two detachments in Arunachal Pradesh. One is at Salari, 190 km from Tezpur and another at Tawang, 380 km away from DRL, Tezpur. DRL Dett., Tawang is situated at 10,000 Ft high from sea level. This area is very less of vegetation due to extreme cold climatic condition. Hence cultivation of vegetables in open environments is not possible.

DRL, Tezpur has installed one Green House at DRL, Dett., Tawang and another Green House in same location is under construction. In this Green House, varieties of vegetable nursery is being raised and are being supplied to those Green Houses installed in different army unit for making vegetables nursery is being raised and are being supplied to those green houses installed in different army unit for making vegetables seeding.

Gross irregularities and violation of Purchase Management 2006 took place in issuing of supply orders for construction and installation of Green Houses at DRL, Tezpur.

One case as case study is submitted herewith in which gross violation of purchase rules took place.DRL GH cvc table 4

(A)   Demand was initiated by Dr. RKR Singh, Technical Officer ‘C’ with following details:DRL GH cvc table 5

(B) Open Tender No. DRL/OT/13-14 was published in Newspapers and DRDO website with following details. DRL GH cvc table 7

(C) Based on the said open tender, supply order was issued with following details.DRL GH cvc table 8

 

(D)  Under Supply Order dated 26.12.2013, Job Completion Certificate was issued from DRL, Tezpur vide letter No. DRL/OT/HAR/11/13-14/S-73 dated with following details:DRL GH cvc table 9

(E)  Unique Power Systems is registered at Andhra Pradesh Commercial Tax Department with TIN – 37720549449 and date of registration 02-06-2014 under VAT and CST commodity MACHINERY, Works Contracts; ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMERS, SWITCH GEARS; MACHINERY SPARES, ALL KINDS OF CABLES; COPPER WIRE.

This vendor has its own website uniquepowersystems.in and Mr. Subbarao Ramisetty is proprietor of this firm. According to the information available on the website “Unique Power Systems” are a leading organization engaged in trading and supplying a variety of Electrical and Electronics Items. We have in store a technically superior range of Transmission Line, Substation, Insulator, Vacuum Circuit Breaker, Generator, Transformer, Speed Breakers, Flexible Cable and MCCB.

6. One Open Tender No. DRL/OT/14-15 was published in 2014 for 05 Green Houses with EMD Rs. 100,000. The demands were made in said open tender and case is under process.

IRREGULATIES AND VIOLATION OF PM 2006 IN CONSTRUCTION & INSTALLATION OF GREEN HOUSES AT DRL, TEZPUR

  • Very junior officer of rank Technical Officer ‘C’ was appointed as Project leader with only one member (STA) in the project which is major project activity of DRL, Tezpur. In past project of Green House more than Five Officer/staff were involved with senior most scientists as Project Head. Keeping only officials in such a big project smacks something wrong at end of Director/CFA.
  • RKR Singh, TO ‘C’ was not authorized to indent case of Rs. 50 L while other several senior scientists were available at DRL, Tezpur. This violates section 4.6.2 and 4.6.3 of PM 2006. Demands costing Rs 50 lakh and above: Initiation by Scientist E and above countersigned by project or group head.
  • The demand was initiated as well as countersigned by Dr. RKR Singh, TO ‘C’ and approved by Dr. Vijay Veer, Director. This violated the various sections of PM 2006.
  • Item cost was inclusive of taxes while as per PM 2006 all taxes should be separately calculated and added in basic cost of the item. Material cost, construction and installation cost should be mentioned separately.
  • In demand unit price was mentioned as Rs. 9,92,331.00 but how the indenter arrived at his cost. How he done cost estimation or he submitted any quotation in record for this cost. The figure of unit cost as mentioned by indenter is unrealistic and fabricated.
  • Board of Officers was not constituted for inspection of constructed Green Houses and handing over to users Amy Units. Issue Voucher should be issued to each Green House separately. Job completion report should be endorsed by Board of Officers.
  • Splitting of cases to keep demand cost with in financial powers of Director as in project of Rs. 4.18 crore small-small cases costing just below Rs. 50 L are initiated. Two open tenders no. DRL/OT/13-14 and DRL/OT/14-15 each costing Rs. 50 L was published within same project by splitting of the cases. One tender should be published to avoid splitting of cases and get better prices and consolidated demand should be raised for whole project as PDC was only 36 months. Hence PM 2006 was grossly violated by Dr. Vijay veer, Director/CFA.
  • As per PM 2006 the Supply Order should be signed for and on behalf of ‘President of India’ in DRDO.MM.16 but this section of PM 2006 was grossly violated by Dr. Vijay Veer, Director/CFA. The supply orders issued by DRL, Tezpur are not in format DRDO.MM.16 and these SO are not signed for and on behalf of India, which is very serious matter as per PM 2006.
  • Cost Estimation not made properly figure of unit price is unrealistic.
  • TEC Report was ignored and parameters effecting installation of Green House like soil testing, wind speed, altitude etc not considered by Director and TPC done without clearance of TEC Report.
  • Gross violation of Purchase Rules, Supply Order not in proper format signed on behalf of Director, DRL, Tezpur, TO ‘C’ is not authorized to indent case up to Rs. 50 L. No sales tax, service tax or VAT charged and prices were inclusive of all taxes. Service tax Registration Number.

7.    The departmental action under CCS(CCA) Rules 1965 and PC Act 1988 may kindly be initiated against Vijay Veer, Director, DRL, Tezpur for said misconduct and misuse of power.

In light of above  facts and evidences it is  requested to CVC to setup a high level inquiry to inspect the procurement process and violation of PM 2006 at DRL, Tezpur by Dr. RKR Singh, TO’C’ and Dr. Vijay Veer , Director in construction and installation of all these Green Houses.

Uncertainty dogs a leaderless DRDO

5 Comments

Ajai Shukla | New Delhi May 4, 2015 Last Updated at 00:38 IST – Business Standard 
A sense of drift is palpable within the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), which has been without a leader for three months since the ouster of its widely respected chief, Avinash Chander, on January 31.

On that day, Defence Secretary R K Mathur was given additional charge of Chander’s post of Secretary, Defence R&D, for three months. That period expired on Thursday.

Mathur had held charge of only one of the three posts that Chander occupied – that of Secretary Defence R&D. The other two posts – Director General, DRDO, and Scientific Advisor to the Raksha Mantri – have lain vacant for three months.

The defence ministry is not alone in having key positions without incumbents. There has been no Chief Information Commissioner since August 22, and no Chief Vigilance Commissioner since September 28.

Without a chief, there are problems in coordinating between the DRDO’s seven technology clusters, each relating to a specific subject – e.g. aeronautics, missiles or naval systems. While cluster heads. called directors general, can function independently within their clusters, major development projects involve several clusters.

Among the programmes suffering from this lack of leadership is the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) project. While the DRDO’s Aeronautical Development Agency oversees the Tejas project, it has no authority over the four technology clusters that feed into the LCA project. That coordination was always facilitated by the DRDO chief, who personally oversaw the LCA programme.

Another problem, say senior DRDO scientists, is professional insecurity caused by Chander’s unceremonious removal. On November 28, the defence ministry had granted him an 18-month service extension to head the DRDO till May 31, 2016. Forty-five days later, that extension was withdrawn.

The insecurity is most obvious among junior scientists, most of whom looked to Chander as an icon of the DRDO’s successful missile programme. “With such an accomplished scientist removed so arbitrarily, what job security do we have?” wonders a young scientist bitterly. Nor is there any clarity about who might succeed Chander. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had said while removing Chander, he wanted someone good from the DRDO who has the urge for development. Parrikar also stated he wanted a younger scientist to head DRDO.buisness standard 4 may 2015With almost all the DRDO’s top scientists already on extension, or nearing the retirement age of 60, 11 of the DRDO’s 12 top scientists might soon retire.

Of these 12 “distinguished scientists”, the DRDO’s top rank, equivalent to a lieutenant general, six have already crossed 60 years and are serving on extensions. Another five are 59 years of age, knocking on the doors of retirement.

The only candidate who fits Parrikar’s twin conditions – being from the DRDO, and also young – is Satheesh Reddy, the highly regarded chief of Research Centre Imarat, a missile technology laboratory outside Hyderabad. Reddy is just 52 years old.

Even so, MoD sources do not rule out bringing in an outsider, possibly from the Atomic Energy Agency, to head the DRDO.

There is also speculation that the three hats the DRDO chief traditionally wore might be split into two or more posts. Opinion on this is divided. The Rama Rao Committee, which proposed reorganising the DRDO, recommended the three posts remain vested in a single person. The subsequent Naresh Chandra Committee recommended separation, though not trifurcation.

The departments of space and atomic energy, which are often held up as models the DRDO could emulate, centralise powers in a single chief. The chairman of the Space Commission also heads the Indian Space Research Organisation, while simultaneously advising the prime minister on space matters.

विषय : डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिकों द्वारा सरकार के नियमो को धता बता कर प्रोजेक्ट्स के नाम पर तकनीकी शब्दावली का प्रयोग कर महंगी गाड़िया खरीद कर उनका निजी उपयोग कर रहे है।

आदरणीय मोदी जी

यह बहुत ही खेद का विषय है की जिन  डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिकों की तुलना आपने 20 अगस्त 2014 को पुरस्कार वितरण करते हुए ऋषि मुनियो से की थी उनमे सबसे सीनियर डायरेक्टर जनरल, ऐरो,  डॉ के तमिलमणि द्वारा सरकार के सारे नियमो का मजाक बनाते हुए प्रोजेक्ट  की गाड़ी का न केवल दुर्प्रयोग कर रहे अपितु औरो को भी गाड़ियों के दुर्पयोग के लिए सहयोग कर रहे है।

डीआरडीओ के संस्थान ए डी इ, बैंगलोर  में प्रोजेक्ट रुस्तम – 2 के अंतरगर्त एक संस्वीकृति संख्या DRDO/02/333/P/2/Vol-II-394/D/R&D  दिनाक  23/02/2011 द्वारा  5 गाड़ियां  रिमोट वीडियो टर्मिनल (आर वी टी) (टोयटा  इन्नोवा समतुल्य)  77 लाख में खरीदने  की स्वीकृति प्रदान की गयी। (सैंक्शन डिटेल संलग्न है)

एक इन्नोवा डायरेक्टर जनरल, ऐरो,  डॉ के तमिलमणि द्वारा  इस्तेमाल की जा रही है।  गाड़ी में डीजी  ऐरो का बोर्ड लगा है।  ड्राइवर आर्मी का एक हवालदार नियुक्त है।  गाड़ी को देख कर कोई नहीं कह सकता की गाड़ी का इस्तेमाल प्रोजेक्ट रुस्तम – 2 में रिमोट वीडियो टर्मिनल (आर वी टी) में हो रहा है। (चित्र संलग्न है )

डॉ के तमिलमणि द्वारा भारत सरकार के नियम विरुद्ध ट्रांसपोर्ट अलाउंस लाभ भी लिया जा रहा है। (जनवरी की  सैलरी स्लिप संलग्न है)

डॉ के तमिलमणि को सरकार ने सेकंड सेवा विस्तार 62-64 वर्ष भी दिया है जोकि मई 2016 तक है। परन्तु केवल भगवान ही जानता है कि डॉ  तमिलमणि  द्वारा देश व् डीआरडीओ को क्या प्रदान किया है।  क्योंकि देश की साइंटिफिक  क्षेत्र में उनके योगदान का कोई चिन्ह नजर नहीं आता है केवल डीआरडीओ के स्वयं प्रयोजित  पुरस्कार ही उनके खाते में हैं जिनकी कंही भी मान्यता नहीं है। डॉक्ट्रेट की उपाधि का भी अभी अभी प्रबंध किया।

रिमोट वीडियो टर्मिनल (आर वी टी) नाम से ली गयी दूसरी गाड़ी एडीइ निदेशक द्वारा तथा तीसरी गाड़ी प्रोजेक्ट डायरेक्टर रुस्तम -२ द्वारा और सूत्रों के अनुसार बाकि की दो गाड़ियों का कोई सुराग नहीं है।

इसी प्रकार से डीआरडीओ के पुणे स्थित संस्थान एच इ एम आर एल के निदेशक श्री विकास भट्टाचार्य द्वारा  भी इसी प्रकार से एक इन्नोवा मोबाइल इन्ट्रूमेंट कैरियर नाम से खरीद कर अपने इस्तेमाल में ली जा रही है।  टेंडर, फर्म्स, गाड़ी का लाल बत्ती लगा चित्र, सप्लाई आर्डर संख्या आदि संलग्न है।

इन उपरोक्त तथ्यों से यह लगता है कि रक्षा लेखा विभाग का जैसे डीआरडीओ के अधिकारीयों   द्वारा अपहरण कर दिया है।  क्या उन्हे वार्षिक ऑडिट में यह सब दिखाई नहीं देता या रक्षा लेखा अधिकारियो ने आँख बंद कर रखी है ?

आपसे अनुरोध है की आपकी  लाल किले  की प्रतिज्ञा “न खायंगे न खाने देंगे” का कुछ तो असर इन  तथाकित डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिकों पर डालने की कृपा करे अन्यथा ये इस देश के करदाताओं से मिले बहुमूल्य पैसो को अपने मजे के लिए उड़ा देंगे।

आपसे यह भी अनुरोध है कि संलग्न शिकायती पत्र को सीवीसी  व् सीविओ (रक्षा मंत्रालय) को तत्काल प्रभाव से जाँच करने के आदेश के साथ अग्रसारित करने का  कष्ट करें।
