Hello,
Kindly provide me with the following information requested under the purview of the Right to Information Act, 2005 in respect of audit of service books of DRDO officials. It is observed that several DRDO officials were acquired Diploma/ Degree after joining DRDO from various deemed universities / private institutes/IGNOU via distance education mode etc. and most of the cases the courses are not recognised by APEX body like UGC/AICTE/DEC etc. in RTI replies DRDO also accepted this facts. (Copy enclosed)
Provide the copy of audit reports of service record verification specially the part where the higher qualification was endorsed of Sh Hoshiyar Singh Kalsi, STA-C, Smt. Nisha Teneja, STA-C,Sh Ramesh Kotiyal, STA-B, Smt. Netu Rawat, STA-B, Sh Virendra Singh Negi, STA-B,Sh Saket Jain,STA-B, Sh.Sudhir Kumar, STA-B of DEAL Dehradun.
Provide the certified copies of verifications reports provided by administration of DEAL Dehradun towards above mentioned seven officials of DEAL, Dehradun.
Note : Matter is directly related to corruption and not exempted under Section 24 (1) as a proof the RTI replies and DOP, DRDO letter is enclosed
Following inputs being published for awareness of all DRDO officials. All of them are experiencing the arbitrariness of entire DRDO‘s Lab directors. Every year you all are silent spectators of this arbitrary conduct of the respective lab directors when DRDS or DRTC promotion’s results are declared.
Few days’ frustration looks are seen on the faces of few but again they indulge in the same cycle. If you seriously observe the health condition of DRDO scientists, this time every year a bitter sip of humiliation distorted the life and health conditions of each one.
It is not because of their failure in assessment. It is because of the success of those incompetent / working on non-scientific assignments.
Earlier in days of beginning of 90’s this kind of push pull was not done openly or in a big way. One or two cases were seen in entire DRDO, but nowadays Directors, New born DG’s, DRDO Hqrs beloved boys are fully creating dadagiri and clearing/helping incompetent and ignoring all those who are seriously involved in scientific research and development.
Although the exodus ratio dropout because of two reasons. One, the world economic recession and two, the VIth pay commission hike in pay package of scientists, but this frustration directly affected their output and as well as their daily life. The enthusiasm of young scientists is lost in DRDO and now they are involved to mint money in all means. An example would be like the LTC 80 scam of Metcalf house is a clear signal of the mindset of the new generation of DRDO team.
The following papers are the example of dadagiri of DRDO lab directors. Sh. M R Gupta, TO ‘C’ was joined DRDO in 9 Nov 1979 as JSA – II, subsequently transferred IRDE in 1981 and in 1987 in DEAL, he is IETE graduate (1987), presently he is working as TO ‘C’ in DEAL since 2008. As per normal conditions he is supposed to get a promotion in 2001.
Sh. M R Gupta rested his ACR/APAR through RTI in 2013 from 1987 to 2013 after a long battle CIC ordered to supply all ACR to DRDO on 4th March 2014 vide File No.CIC/LS/A/2013/001815/RM dated 2014 “DECISION – The Commission directed the CPIO to provide copies of ACRs for the period 1987-2007 as sought by the appellant within three weeks from the date of receipt of this order, free of cost”
Now see in followin enclosed document, Sh M R Gupta shocked to see that his two year ACR/ APAR of 1995 and 96 was blank and in 2004 ACR/APAR was reviewed by Sh Y P Sehgal, Ex Sc ‘G’ illegally as Sh M R Gupta was never worked with him and put adverse remark “ One disciplinary case is with DRDO Hqrs” and remark was duly approved by the Director, Sh Ashok Sen and best part of this RTI revealed that it was not even communicated to Sh M R Gupta.
This illegal unethical act done by Sh. Ashok Sen, then Director, DEAL was perfect example of DRDO work atmosphere, which proves that the absolute power made DRDO Lab’s director became autocratic/dictator/tyrant, etc.
This is not the only case you will find this kind of act in the entire DRDO. RTI’s also revealed that in several cases white fluid applied in ACR/APAR, tempering of marks in any stage even after in final stage at DRDO Hqrs.
It is requested to all suffering DRDO officials to please file RTIs with reference to supreme court order of Justice Markandey Katju, in Devi dutt Vs Union of India (CIVIL APPEAL NO. 7631 OF 2002)to confirm your ACR/APAR marks and comments.
One more important observation is that these DRDO Lab’s director also authenticating false claim of work to their beloved incompetent scientists.
Hope with the following example you all will review your promotion profile and analyze the possible flaw in the process of DRDO’s promotion mechanism.

Question – whether DRDO has developed a kit to instantly identify explosive typically used in bomb blasts and plans to sell the explosive detector in USA
ANSWER
MINISTER OF DEFENCE (SHRI A.K. ANTONY)
Yes, Madam. Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed Explosive Detection Kit (EDK) capable of detecting and identifying explosives commonly used for destructive purposes. The kit was launched by a US Company, Crowe & Co. On 2nd August, 2013. DRDO has granted a license on non-exclusive basis to sell EDK in countries other than India and on exclusive basis for manufacture & sales in US..
Please provide the complete certified copy of papers supplied by DRDO to MINISTER OF DEFENCE SHRI A.K. ANTONY against above question.
Please provide the annexure supplied to Honorable MINISTER OF DEFENCE (SHRI A.K. ANTONY) by DRDO regarding US Company, Crowe & Co
DRDO RTI Cell is acting as a blind body. Since RTI Act, 2005’s implementation, DRDO felt its power and put all efforts to get rid off but success was partial, Schedule – II exemption did not include the corruption and Human rights allegations and subsequently CIC also gave guidelines that, day to day administration and management matters are also not exempted.
This CIC supports give honest officials and citizen an immense power to fight against neck deep corruption/nepotism/favoritism prevailing in DRDO.
Cases started to expose the corrupt practice of senior DRDO officials in various matters like recruitment/promotions/procurements, etc and action started against corrupt officials by Defence Minister, CVO, CVC, etc
The DRDO management now come under desperation and looking after to fix those who are trying to expose the corrupt senior officers, few terminated/dismissed, few transferred, few deprived with promotions, a message was passed among the DRDO officials/employees, that if any one seeks RTI, he should be ready to face consequences and it is established that facts that DRDO management extensively used unwritten policy not give promotions or due credits to those who are involved in RTI acts practices.
It is a clear cut message to the nation that DRDO top management is a dishonest corrupt and not working in the interest of the nation because it is not committed towards the constitution of India.
On 8th March 2014, Dr. R B Sharma, CPIO, DRDO Hqrs acted as a super boss and sent a letter to all Labs/ Establishments of DRDO to not give any information under RTI Act, 2005.
On 28thMay, 2005 a meeting was held under DRDO transparency officer Dr. Sudershan Kumar, DS and CC R&D (PC & SI). In that he told to all DRDO’s CPIO not to supply any information under RTI Act-2005. It can be verified by records of DRDO’s RTI cell that no information was passed after this decision to any RTI applicant.
That all RTI applicants receiving reply in the same format which was supplied by DRDO RTI Cell and First appellate authority reply was also given by DRDO in same format.
Surprisingly the following case of Dr. R G Taware, Ex- Technical Officer ‘B’ was to show the blind act of DRDO’s RTI cell.
Dr. R G Taware, Ex- Technical Officer ‘B’ was illegally dismissed by DRDO management with conspiracy. The conspiracy was proved by single point DRDO used then RRM, Sh Palam Raju for suspension and after dismissal and material fact is that RRM, Sh Palam Raju nor has the power for such approval, because as per Ministry of Defence orders of power delegation by Defence Minster shows he has never delegated such powers to RRM, Sh. Palam Raju specially for DRDO.
Dr. R G Taware, Ex- Technical Officer ‘B’ suspension /dismissal orders one of major allegation was “The tone and tenor of letter of Dr. R G Taware dated 26 Aug 2009”
Dr. R G Taware send an RTI request to CPIO, HEMRL, Pune, information sought that DRDO scientists developed a machine which can measure “The tone and tenor of any letter”, he asked whether scientist got any award and promotions for this great innovation.
The Blind DRDO RTI cell replied in a standard format “ You hereby inform that DRDO is placed in second schedule of RTI Act and exempted from disclosure of Information under Section 24 (1) exceptpertaining to the allegation of corruption and human right violations”( copy enclosed)
Further after getting above reply from BLIND DRDO RTI Cell, Dr. R G Taware sent first appeal to FAA, DRDO to check their IQ.
Interestingly the height of blindness of DRDO RTI cell or to hell with RTI same standard reply send by FAA on the issue that “You hereby inform that DRDO is placed in second schedule of RTI Act and exempted from disclosure of Information under Section 24 (1) exceptpertaining to the allegation of corruption and human right violations” (copy enclosed)
Great DRDO RTI cell proved their scientific capability in this RTI application replies – can the common Indian believe these DRDO scientists caliber for defence preparedness ??????????????

Subject: Request to provide facility of filing online RTI applications for DRDO and give directive to DRDO to Honor the RTI act 2005 in right spiritto promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority.
Reference: (i) My letter dated 16 April 2014 to Prime Minister with subject “Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO”
(ii) PMO reply ID No. 10/3/2014-PMP1/30140 dated 19th May 2014
(iii) DoPT Letter No.6/1/2014-IR dated 6/6/2014 copy to Sh Kaushal Kishor Pandey, SO, PMO, New Delhi
Honorable Sir,
www.corruptionindrdo.com continues to expose the corruption/nepotism prevailing in DRDO since the last four years. DRDO’s honest officials send corruption inputs from all DRDO establishments and with help of RTI’s and from internet information, the corruption inputs are regularly passed to the government and relevant agencies like CVC, IB, CBI etc.
www.corruptionindrdo.com’s efforts recognized by honest officials of DRDO and website regularly getting corruption/nepotism inputs from each and every corner of the country. On basis of the points raised by the website, DRDO also took several corrective measures and constituted inquiry committees for examining the truths.
In my 16th April 2014 letter I have requested Honorable Prime Minister to kindly take appropriate corrective measures against officials who are involved in unconstitutional acts and give strength to RTI- Act 2005. It has really empowered the common man. Also, fix those who are diluting the effectiveness of the strong RTI Act -2005.
The online RTI portal “Guideline – An applicant who desires to obtain any information under the RTI Act 2005 can make a request through this RTI Online Portal to only the Central Public Authorities of main Ministries/Departments located at New Delhi initially”. In the first phase, this facility is available to Ministries/Departments/Apex Bodies mentioned in the list available in ‘GUIDELINES’, but there is no list available in RTI portal. Like Defence Ministry having several offices in New Delhi
Sir, I have received a letter from DoPT Letter No.6/1/2014-IR dated 6/6/2014 copy to Sh Kaushal Kishor Pandey, SO, PMO, New Delhi in respect of reply my letter dated 16 April 2014 to Prime Minister with subject “Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO”
In DoPT letter Sh R K Girdhar, Under Secretary (RTI) stated that “if you not satisfied with the reply of CPIO, may filed appeal before the first appellate authority in the same public authority u/s 19(i) of the RTI Act 2005” it seems that the letter forwarded by PMO was not even read by Sh R K Girdhar. It shows the seriousness of DoPT regarding RTI issues or Sh R K Girdhar just trying to shield the nodal officer.
I have enclosed the remark of nodal officer not CPIO that they have returned with “You have filed more than 40 online RTI applications relating to DRDO on the address of Department of Defence which has been physically transferred to DRDO under intimation to you. DRDO is a separate public authority and is also placed under Second Schedule of the RTI Act, 2005. Therefore, your online RTI applications seeking information in r/o the DRDO and sent to Department of Defence will not be acted upon henceforth. You may directly send your application to the DRDO for the information.”
Sh R K Girdhar, just overlooked the letter contents and send regular fixed reply without applying any mind. I don’t know RTI Act 2005 is a serious responsibility or just for feeding papers.
Sir, after exposing the corruption / nepotism of DRDO’s senior officials because RTI Act-2005. Some officials suspended, some got charge sheet and some are in queue. Now DRDO officials are trying to make a wall for RTI Act 2005. Recently an unconstitutional letter issued by Dr. R B Sharma, CPIO, DRDO, Hqrs Cell on 8th March 2014 to all establishment/Lab show that they clearly made their policy not to give any RTI reply. (Copy enclosed) As per Sh R K Girdhar in one RTI reply in reference to that “any CPIO can compel to other CPIO not to give information under RTI” he stated that “There is no such policy of compelling or a CPIO being compelled by other PIO for not providing information to the information seeker. A PIO can be penalized by Information Commission under Section 20 of the RTI Act, 2005.”
Further in 28th May 2005 a meeting was held under DRDO transparency officer Dr. Sudershan Kumar, DS and CC R&D (PC & SI). In that he told to all DRDO’s CPIO not to supply any information under RTI Act-2005. It can be verified by records of DRDO RTI cell that no information was passed after this decision to any RTI applicant.
DRDO is in neck deep corruption/ nepotism/ favoritism and the reason being this DRDO is unproductive since last 15-20 years, don’t believe their data and dabas because when our forces will be ready to accept those then only our country will believe on DRDO, otherwise it will be only ok for 26 January republic show tableau .
In view of the above, I request you Sir, the RTI is the only effective way to restrict corruption in DRDO. Please give directives to DRDO & DoPT to honor the RTI act 2005 in the right spiritto promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority.

Hello,
Kindly provide me with the following information requested under the purview of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005 in respect of sanction a project of Rs 288.oo Lakhs to Prof V R Reddy, CR Rao Advanced Institute of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science,(AIMSCS) Hyderabad (a Society) for Project titled NIMO Radar- Spatial Diversity, Spatial Resolution and Transmitter Waveform in Target Detection, Resolution and Identification.

Present status of project it is delivered (Yes or No)
If not than DRDO has initiated to recover funds from AIMSCS Society, Hyderabad (Yes or No)
Copy of financial expenditure details submitted by AIMSCS Society, Hyderabad
Note : Matter is directly related to corruption and not exempted under Section 24 (1), as Dr V K Saraswat, Ex-DG, DRDO happened to be the president of AIMSCS Society governing body. Hence, without prejudice to the correctness of the decision relating to this Grant-in-Aid, it was against the canons of financial propriety for SA to RM to have sanctioned grants to a society headed by him. Release of advance payment to the society even for salary in respect of non-existent manpower blocks government funds and provides an opportunity to private society to earn interest income. DRDO was hired a consultant and the consultant is also planning to hire consultant. CGDA special audit also raised serious objection on this matter.
