Hon’ble Shri Manohar Parrikar, Defence Minister, Room No -104, South Block, New Delhi-110011
SUBJECT: Regarding 25 questions asked by government for improving DRDO.
Sir,
Government is putting his whole heartedly efforts to improve the DRDO in the interest of defence preparedness and properly utilization of govt. fund as well as the turning DRDO in delivering mode. Government floated 25 questions to understand the DRDO problems that why after spending so huge amount not able to deliver single 100% indigenous system.
Unfortunately, government is seeking answer from those who are the responsible for gutted DRDO in this stage. How can they accept their incompetency, they are not so generous because they were not even take seriously KARGIL WAR failures. The Gen Malik openly told the country “We had one or two incidents particularly on the weapon-locating radar. If the DRDO had not come in the way we would have got them before the Kargil war and that would have definitely reduced our casualties,” he told Karan Thapar on Devil’s Advocate programme on CNN-IBN.
One question out of 25 questiosn is – What DRDO is doing to make quality scientific manpower pool larger than what is available, to make it much more competent and qualitative, and what kind of facilities and infrastructure DRDO provide to scientific community including their pay, facilities and other things? – Action CC R&D (HR)
I don’t know what DRDO submitted against this question but yesterday I have received a good real analytical input from one of DRDO establishment ACEM, Nashik. Which can an eye opener for Ministry of Defence to see the real cause of DRDO failure?
Although the received letter is not having sign but as per sources all information are true and it can be verified by not from GM but from each and every officials/ employees of ACEM.
It is requested that listen the voice of young scientists although they are serving for their livelihood but same time want to contribute to nation with their full knowledge and ability but unfortunately DRDO management is rotten that the young scientists simply wasting their energy and time.
With hope our great IITan Shri Parrikar ji will this issue with honest and eligible scientists and use the scientific potential in right direction.

Chennai: In a bizarre case, an RTI activist has been jailed for refusing to stand at a hearing. The RTI activist had asked for a chair so that he could sit in front of a 2-member bench hearing an appeal at the headquarters in Chennai.
The victim, NGO Satta Panchayat Iyakkam President Siva Elango, asked for a chair during the hearing of a second appeal after Tamil Nadu State Information Commission rejected his RTI application. When the RTI activist took the chair, they lodged a complaint with the Teynampet Police.

US to manufacture, market DRDO’s Explosive Detection Kit PTI Aug 3, 2013, 03.21PM IST
WASHINGTON: In a first of its kind of reverse technology sharing between India and the US, an innovative Explosive Detection Kit developed by Indian scientists would be manufactured in America and sold globally for quick detection and identification of combinations of explosives. ………………………………………………… Reny M Roy, the Indian scientist who developed this technology, said that the EDK kits have been successfully used in preventing several terrorists’ attacks and even immediately detecting the type of explosive used in the event of a bomb blast.
“I got the idea for making an EDK kit in pellets form when I saw my daughter working with her colour palette,” says Roy.

August 4, 2013 · Chennai · When Reny Roy was assigned a project 15 years ago, she had no idea it would one day get a Washington DC debut as India’s first defense technology transfer to the United States. The project headed by Roy, a scientist at DRDO’s explosives lab in Pune, led to the creation of Explosive Detection Kit (EDK), which makes it easy to detect all kinds of explosive, especially those used by terrorists.
The kit was launched in Washington on Friday for production and sale in the US and other countries in the region, by Crowe and Company, a South Carolina firm.
It is currently undergoing tests by US military and other security agencies but may soon be headed for use by coalition forces in Afghanistan through a non-profit.
AND THE PATENT IS OF COURSE OF INDIA……

US grabs wallet-sized bomb detector created by Indian scientist
Yashwant Raj, Hindustan Times Washington, August 03, 2013
When Reny Roy was assigned a project 15 years ago, she had no idea it would one day get a Washington DC debut as India’s first defense technology transfer to the United States.
The project headed by Roy, a scientist at DRDO’s explosives lab in Pune, led to the creation of Explosive Detection Kit (EDK), which makes it easy to detect all kinds of explosive, especially those used by terrorists.
——
——- “It feels great,” said Roy after the launch with her boss SN Asthana, a man of few words, standing by her side.
Roy got the project “around 1997” with a brief to develop something to stop terrorists. But it was not a priority, not like DRDO’s more glamorous Agni, Arjun and the LCA projects.
15 Years ago this project was assigned to Reny Roy, at that time she was not aware of that one day Washington DC introduction as India’s first defense technology move to the United States.
The project head Roy, a scientist at DRDO’s explosives lab in Pune, lead to the formation of Explosive Detection Kit (EDK), which makes it simple to sense all kinds of explosive, particularly those used by terrorists all over world.

” Modi austerity drive, no new cars for ministers, PMO to monitor spendingby Marya Shakil, CNN-IBN Jun 25, 2014 at 08:57pm IST.
Modi, whose working style had garnered headlines in less than a month of assuming office, has also asked the ministers to take PMO’s approval for any purchases above Rs 1 lakh, according to sources.
वंही दूसरी ओर डीआरडीओ में ताजमहलो का निर्माण बदस्तूर जारी है I इसी सन्दर्भ में करप्शन इन डी आर डी ओ वेबसाइट को एक ईमेल द्वारा आज जानकारी मिली डी आर डी ओ द्वारा कि लॉन्ग व्हीलर आई लैंड में करोड़ों रूपए खर्च करके सिर्फ चार अदद कमरो का एक वी आई पी गेस्ट हाउस का निर्माण कार्य जा रहा है जिसकी खास बात यह है कि उसके हर कमरे का डिजाइन दुबई के एक सात सितारा लक्ज़री होटल के कमरो के अनुरूप किया जा रहा है I
यह निर्माण कार्य 100 मजदूरो द्वारा रात दिन लगातार कार्य जा रहा है और अगले सप्ताह इस गेस्ट हाउस का उद्घाटन होना है I यह सब निर्माण कर्नल सत्पथी के देख रेख में चल रहा है जो की लभग दस वर्षो से वंहा कार्यरत है इसके अलावा एक लक्ज़री बोट भी किंग्स एंड क्वीन कंपनी से खरीदी गयी है I क्या आपको लगता है की किंग्स एंड क्वीन की बोट में बैठ कर जाने से मिसाइल ज्यादा सटीक निशाना लगाएंगी I जंहा एक और सामान्य कर्मचारी सरकारी आवास समस्या से जूझ रहे है काफी लम्बी प्रतीक्षा सूची चल रही है वंही दूसरी ओर इन तथाकथित विज्ञानिको को विलासिता सूझ रही है I
आपसे नम्र निवेदन है कि शीघ्रता पूर्वक इन तथाकित वैज्ञानिको को देश के बहुमूल्य पैसो की बर्बादी से रोके सादगी का सन्देश दे क्योंकि कोई भी रिसर्च के लिए इन सब विलसिताओं की कोई भी आवश्कयता नहीं होती I सर जे सी बोसे ने कोई भी अविष्कार फाइव स्टार होटल में बैठकर नहीं किया था I

Prabhu ji, I want to inform S.A. saheb’s latest gift to himself a multi crore guest house with just 4 rooms with 7 star facility at wheeler island. He is going to inaugurate it next week. Each room is modelled as per designs from Dubai luxury hotel and more than 100 labourers are working day and night under Shri.Col. Satpathy who is the permanent Construction c.c.e. for the past ten years at the same sensitive and maney making post at Baleswar and Kolkata for the past 10 years. He has made similar seven star guest house in Kolkata also for his VVIP bosses to please them. A luxury boat(yact) is also being purchased for the Kings and queens of D.R.D.O. in Wheeler Island. Please do something to stop this. Like the fake degree scam, another big chunna to govt is by employees building houses in same station with H.B.A. and still staying in lab quarters by renting their house. Such like artificial scarcity of quarters is created and the waiting list is too long. moreover, taking this artificial shortage into account new quarters are being built by the construction department at exorbitant costs (much higher rates than C.P.W.D.)our department has become more of a construction dept. than R&D. That too contracts are issued only to some big fish contractors close to these corrupt officers without any transparency. When the whole country is following e-mail tendering, our dept. follows selective tendering. These construction engineers have even started taking projects from other than our dept. due to the huge kick backs provided in the over priced contracts. Please please do something otherwise we are going to be doomed. Wellwisher.
