Hello,
Kindly provide me with the following information requested under the purview of the Right to Information Act, 2005 in respect of corrupt practices following by DRDO.

The applicants already filed hundreds of RTI s to DRDO with the aim of expose their corrupt practices earlier up to end of 2011 I have received 50% informations in the basis of those inputs, I have submitted some corruption complaints to CVC and other agencies partly the action were taken but from mid of 2013 I have only received 10%  informations but no action taken on corruption exposures. Interestingly since end 2013 DRDO stopped giving any informations against RTI applications, whether it is related to corruption or human right. I tried to my best requested RTI with enclosed corruption evidences but to DRDO refuses to all RTI requests under section 24 (1). DRDO have no respect for constitutional provision of GOI.

The following information is requested with evidences which prima facie supported that Dr Tamilmani and other involved in corrupt practices. This information is requesting through PMO because we have faith on Sh Narendra Modi ji government and if, we will not get any response of this RTI than it is a confirmation that PMO is also in the grip of corrupt officers and Modi ji government has no meaning of RTI Act 2005.

  1. Provide the information that Toyota Innova using by Dr K Tamilmani, DG AERO, Director, ADE and others are procured under Project Rustom II as Remote Video Terminal Vehicle as stated in Dr.Hina Gokhle, DHRD

  4. Provide the total amount dispersed as transport allowance in financial year 2014/15 to Directors/establishment Heads/Program Directors/project Directors /in-charges of various siblings of DRDO

INVESTIGATION & INQUIRY OF COMPLAINTS OF CORRUPTION AGAINST DR. A.K. SAXENA, DIRECTOR, DMSRDE, KANPUR UNDER DRDO, MOD.

Sir,
I humbly submit your kind attention towards corruption in tunes of crores at Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur, an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Ministry of Defence, Government of India.
Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, was appointed as Scientist ‘C’ on 28.04.1984 in DMSRDE, Kanpur and since then he is continuously posted at DMSRDE, Kanpur from past 30 years. He was never transferred from DMSRDE, Kanpur and since the date of his posting he is working at Kanpur. The roots of the Dr. Saxena while working at DMSRDE, Kanpur has become so deep that he was involved in various activities involving the financial and administrative irregularities that leads corruption in DMSRDE.
Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Scientist ‘G’ was appointed as Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur wef 01 January 2011. In spite of the fact that he has been involved in various financial and administrative irregularities , Dr. Saxena was promoted to the rank of Scientist ‘H’ wef 02 August 2012 and since then he is holding the rank of Scientist ‘H’ and working as Director, DMSRDE.
The right from his appointment as Director, he was involved in various kinds of administrative and financial irregularities that lead corruption in tunes of crores. Several complaints were made against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena to then Defence Minister.
I am an RTI activist and social worker running a website corruptionindrdo.com to expose the corruption in DRDO. I also made as far as 12 complaints regarding corruption in procurements of various instruments, equipment and materials in DMSRDE by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE to Central Vigilance Commission, Hon’ble Defence Minister and DGR&D, DRDO. These complaints were filed by me during 29 Nov 2013 to 11 June 2014. Total cost of store items procured against which complaints were filed is about Rs. 7.5 crore. A complete list of complaints filed by me to CVC and Hon’ble Defence Minister is enclosed as Enclosure-1.
All the aforesaid complaints made by me have been endorsed by Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). CVC has taken cognizance of aforesaid complaints and registered on prima facia. These complaints have been forwarded to Chief Vigilance Office (CVO), Ministry of Defence for further enquiry/investigation of the aforesaid complaints. Under the provisions of RTI Act 2005 the CPIO, CVC vide letter no. CVC/RTI/13/1862/241925 dated 18.03.2014 informed to me that his complaints have been forwarded to CVO (MOD) for investigation. Letter enclosed as Enclosure-2.
Under RTI Act, CPIO, CVO MOD informed that all complaints have been forwarded to Director, Vigilance & Security, DRDO for further inquiry and asked the consolidated report from DRDO vide their letter dated 04 August 2014. Letter enclosed as Enclosure-3.
Meantime, a Fact Finding Inquiry Committee (FFIC) was constituted by Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO to inquire the complaints against Dr. A.K. Saxena. The Fact Finding Inquiry Committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur on 13th – 14th, March 2014 for inquiry on the complaints submitted against Dr. A.K. Saxena. The said committee submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but no action taken by DRDO against Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director.
Despite since long time all 12 complaints are still pending with Dte of Vigilance & Security (DVS), DRDO HQ, New Delhi and no action has been taken against Dr. A.K. Saxena.
Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE is going to retire on 31 July 2015 and only five months remain for his superannuation. To give safe passage to safely retire to Dr. A.K. even after making corruption in tunes of croresis totally against the Government policy of “Zero Tolerance for Corruption”.
Therefore to take speedy action in the corruption cases of DMSRDE registered by CVC and forwarded to CVO(MOD) , I kindly request to take appropriate action in the matter and provide the status of complaints.In case the appropriate action on complaints has been taken then kindly provide copy of inquiry report.

Sir,

I humbly submit your kind attention towards corruption in tunes of crores at Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur, an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Ministry of Defence, Government of India.

Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Scientist ‘C’ on 28.04.1984 in DMSRDE, Kanpur and since then he is continuously posted at DMSRDE, Kanpur from past 30 years. He was never transferred from DMSRDE, Kanpur and since the date of his posting he is working at Kanpur.  The roots of the Dr. Saxena while working at DMSRDE, Kanpur has become so deep that he was involved in various activities involving the financial and administrative irregularities that leads corruption in DMSRDE.

Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Scientist ‘G’ was appointed as Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur wef 01 January 2011. In spite of the fact that he has been involved in various financial and administrative irregularities , Dr. Saxena was  promoted to the rank of Scientist ‘H’ wef 02 August 2012 and since then he is  holding the rank of Scientist ‘H’ and working as Director, DMSRDE.

The right from his appointment as Director, he was involved in various kinds of administrative and financial irregularities that lead corruption in tunes of crores. Several complaints were made against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena to then Defence Minister.

I am an RTI activist and social worker running a website corruptionindrdo.com to expose the corruption in DRDO. I also made as far as 12 complaints regarding corruption in procurements of various instruments, equipment and materials in DMSRDE by DMSRDE officials to Central Vigilance Commission, Hon’ble Defence Minister and DGR&D, DRDO. These complaints were filed by me during 29 Nov 2013 to 11 June 2014. Total cost of store items procured against which complaints were filed is about Rs. 7.5 crore. A complete list of complaints filed by me to CVC and Hon’ble Defence Minister is enclosed as Enclosure-1.

All the aforesaid complaints made by me have been endorsed by Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). CVC has taken cognizance of aforesaid complaints and registered on prima facia.  These complaints have been forwarded to Chief Vigilance Office (CVO), Ministry of Defence for further enquiry/investigation of the aforesaid complaints. Under the provisions of RTI Act 2005 the CPIO, CVC vide letter no. CVC/RTI/13/1862/241925 dated 18.03.2014 informed to me that his complaints have been forwarded to CVO (MOD) for investigation. Letter enclosed as Enclosure-2.

Under RTI Act, CPIO, CVO MOD informed that all complaints have been forwarded to Director, Vigilance & Security, DRDO for further inquiry and asked the consolidated report from DRDO vide their letter dated 04 August 2014. Letter enclosed as Enclosure-3.

Meantime, a Fact Finding Inquiry Committee (FFIC) was constituted by Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO under chairmanship of Dr S S Negi to inquire the complaints against Dr. A.K. Saxena. The Fact Finding Inquiry Committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur on 13th – 14th, March 2014 for inquiry on the complaints submitted against Dr. A.K. Saxena. The said committee submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander action only GOD knows the truth.

Shri Avinash Chander again set up second Fact Finding Inquiry Committee in which Chairman was equivalent rank to Dr. Saxena   and three junior officers were members of the Fact Finding Inquiry Committee. The second FFIC was constituted under chairmanship of Dr. D.C. Pandey, Scientist ‘H’, LRDE, Bangalore and three members Sri Hari Babu Srivastava, Scientist ‘G’, Sri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ and Sri R.S. Mehta, Joint Director. The said committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur recently on 9-10 July 2014. Therefore constitution of two FFIC by Shri Avinash Chander establishes that there were complaints against Dr. A.K. Saxena but to give him patronage and support the Shri Avinash Chander set up illegal FFIC. This second FFIC also submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but still no action against Dr. A.K Saxena took place by DRDO.

Sir , Shri Avinash Chander was supporting the corrupt practices at DMSRDE, Kanpur. In this connection I again submitted complaints to Hon’ble Prime Minister and Hon’ble Defence Minister in October-November 2014.

Despite since long time all 12 complaints are still pending with Director (Vig.) & CVO (MOD), South Block, New Delhi and no action has been taken so far.

Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE is going to retire on 31 July 2015 and only five months remain for his superannuation. To give safe passage to safely retire to Dr. A.K. Saxena even after making corruption in tunes of crores is totally against the Government policy of “Zero Tolerance for Corruption”.

Therefore to take speedy action in the corruption cases of DMSRDE registered by CVC and forwarded to CVO (MOD), I kindly request high level Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigation and speedy action against corrupt officials of DMSRDE, Kanpur.

DRDO Refuses to Divulge Information on Hi-tech Chariot

7 Comments

By Pradip R Sagar Published: 29th December 2014 05:59 -Indian Express

NEW DELHI: The DRDO has refused to give out any information regarding making of a ‘chariot’ for a religious function.

The Express, in its report on dated 23 November, had exposed that a Pune-based DRDO laboratory Research and Development Establishment (Engineers) had developed and donated a hi-tech chariot to a temple.

DRDO-Chariot
DRDO’s Hi-Tech Chariot

This shocking piece of information came out after a young scientist of the same laboratory decided to rebel against this absurd venture and moved the Bombay high court and even the CVC. The DRDO developed the hi-tech chariot and ‘donated’ it to Alandi Temple, Pune.
The young scientist had to pay for raising his voice. The DRDO has not only stripped him off from the ongoing projects, but also transferred him out from the centre, where he is being left to waste.

A day after the Express report, a former DRDO scientist moved an RTI to the Ministry of Defence for seeking details of the government sanction to the DRDO for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and allocated budget for the same.

But on December 18, the R&DE (Engineers), in its reply to the RTI, had stated, “The DRDO is placed in Second Schedule of the RTI Act, 2005 and exempted from disclosure of information under Section 24(1), except information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human right violations.”

The Section 24(1) of the RTI Act exempt security and intelligence agencies specified in the Second schedule to disclose such information. “This information, which I have asked for, has nothing to do with the national security and intelligence framework. But, the DRDO is using this as a shield to suppress information related to corruption in the organisation,” the scientist (identity withheld) told Express, who filed the RTI in the matter.

Dr. S Guruprasad, Director of the R&DE, Pune, had told Express that they had built this battery operated chariot in an year’s time and the DRDO had carried out the project under the head of the CSR. R&DE Pune has a mandate to design and develop Combat Engineering Systems, such as Military Bridging and Mine Warfare Systems, development of Field Defence Systems and NBC Collective protection Shelters, design and development of Weapon Launch System such as Prithvi, Agni, BrahMos, AD, MR-SAM and Nirbhay.

While numerous DRDO projects such as the Light Combat Aircraft Tejas, Nag missile, long-range surface-to-air missile and Airborne Early Warning and Control System have been delayed, and have cost much higher than their original estimates, expenses on such a ‘religious’ project have raised many eyebrows.

Request for cancellation Post Retirement Contractual Appointment of Sh Avinash Chander as DG, DRDO to save the premier organization from the clutches of corrupt and incompetents officials

New Delhi-110011

SUBJECT:   Request for cancellation Post Retirement Contractual Appointment of Sh Avinash Chander as DG, DRDO to save the premier organization from the clutches of corrupt and incompetents officials.  

Sir,

Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO, SA to RM and Secretary, DRD is retiring on 28 November 2014 at age of 64 after getting two unconstitutional & unrequired extensions of two-two years.

As a matter of fact and requirement under FR & SR, a retired Government servant cannot be appointed as Head of the Organisation with all administrative and financial powers after his retirement on contract. There is provision of appointing retired Government servant on need basis following with due prescribed procedure under rules keeping in view of transparency and open opportunity for all eligible persons.

DRDO is very prestigious organisation  for Defence related indigenous R&D with budget of Rs. 15283 crore for FY 2014-2015 but what is fate of 90% + projects of DRDO, Government, media and public knows very well.

DRDO is better known as “Delay Research & Derailed Organisation” and you are committed to revamp DRDO. The whole nation especially the scientific community appreciated your steps and measures taken for DRDO in present and planned for future.

Appointment of Hon’ble Manohar Parrikar, an eminent engineer from IIT as Defence Minister by you was very much appreciated by nation, media and scientific community.

That will definitely help overhauling and revamping of DRDO by eradication of corruption from DRDO, maintain accountability and transparency in DRDO.

The integrity and moral fibre are two main attributes of Government servant but unfortunately Shri Avinash Chander could not maintain these two in his tenure from 31st May 2013 to 28 Nov 2014 as DG, DRDO, SA to RM and Secretary, DRD which is very much evident from the various complaints pending against him before PMO and Cabinet Secretariat.

In his tenure, number of court cases increases in many fold,  Sh Chander set example to promoting and recruiting incompetents (Ms Tesy Thomas promotion to Sc H and her husband CMDR S K Patel‘s appointment as Sc G and after few days he was made Director, QRS). This act follows discontentment among the senior scientists of DRDO.

The number of SC/ST and minorities complaints increased.

Not able to manage media instead of two crores budget for Public Interface.

There was not a single mentionable product/technology delivered instead Sh Chander tried to show the old products again like EDK the MoU was already signed by DRDO in 2012, Chander spends crores of rupees for that in US visit for unacceptable technology, no evidence are of reorganizations of said product internationally because there are  numerous advance technologies are available.

Secondly, the Bio digester, DRDO three times earlier dedicated this to nation and interestingly it is not as said by DRDO spin off technology it is mere only gobar gas plant in the name of innovation of DRDO the said microbes are already found in cow dunk.  One senior scientist from DRDO itself already exposes this propaganda of DRDO to CVC

The contractual appointment after retirement has also been challenged by some citizens before Government and media also highlighted the pro & cons of this matter.

Therefore, it is requested to Hon’ble Sir to cancel the post retirement contractual appointment of Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO, SA to RM and Secretary, DRD before 30th November, the date of his retirement and not continue him further in DRDO in interest of nation and scientists of DRDO.

SUBJECT:  Sh Avinash Chander is not interested to take any action on DMSRDE corruption cases.

Sir,

I would like to draw your kind attention towards corruption in tunes of crores at Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur, an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Ministry of Defence, Government of India.

Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Scientist ‘C’ on 28.04.1984 in DMSRDE, Kanpur and since then he is continuously posted at DMSRDE, Kanpur since last 30 years. He has not been transferred even for a day from Kanpur and since the date of his posting he is working at Kanpur.  The roots of the Dr. Saxena while working at DMSRDE, Kanpur has become so deep that he was involved in various activities involving the financial & other administrative irregularities.

Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Scientist ‘G’ was appointed as Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur wef 01 January 2011. In spite of the fact that he has been involved in various financial and administrative irregularities , Dr. Saxena was  promoted to the rank of Scientist ‘H’ wef 02 August 2012 and since then he is  holding the rank of Scientist ‘H’ and working as Director, DMSRDE.

The right from his appointment as Director, he was involved in various kinds of administrative & financial irregularities that lead corruption in tunes of crores. Several complaints were made against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena to then Defence Minister by some scientists of DMSRDE.

Being a RTI activist and social worker running a website corruptionindrdo.com to expose the corruption in DRDO, also made as far as 12 complaints regarding corruption in procurements of various instruments & materials etc in DMSRDE by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE to CVC, Hon’ble Defence Minister and DGR&D, DRDO. These complaints were filed during 29 Nov 2013 to 11 June 2014. Total cost of store items procured against which complaints were filed is about Rs. 7.5 crore. A complete list of complaints filed by me to CVC and Hon’ble Defence Minister is annexed as Annexure No. -1.

All the aforesaid complaints made have been endorsed by Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). CVC has taken cognizance of aforesaid complaints and registered on prima facia.  These complaints have been forwarded to Chief Vigilance Office (CVO), Ministry of Defence for further enquiry/investigation of the aforesaid complaints. Under the provisions of RTI Act 2005 the CPIO, CVC vide letter no. CVC/RTI/13/1862/241925 dated 18.03.2014 informed to me that his complaints have been forwarded to CVO (MOD) for investigation.

Under RTI Act, CPIO, CVO MOD informed that all complaints have been forwarded to Director, Vigilance & Security, DRDO for further inquiry and asked the consolidated report from DRDO vide their letter dated 04 August 2014.

Meantime, A FFIC was constituted by Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO to inquire the complaints against Dr. Saxena. The Fact Finding Inquiry Committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur on 13th – 14th, March 2014 for inquiry on the complaint submitted against Dr. Saxena. The said committee submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but no action taken by DRDO against Dr. Saxena, Director.

It is very surprising and interesting that Shri Avinash Chander again set up another four members Fact Finding Inquiry Committee  under chairmanship of Dr. D.C. Pandey, Scientist ‘H’ LRDE and three members Sri Hari Babu Srivastava, Scientist ‘G’, Director, LASTECH, Sri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ and Sri R.S. Mehta, Joint Director. The said committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur recently on 9-10 July 2014. Therefore constitution of two FFIC by Shri Avinash Chander establishes that there were complaints against Dr. Saxena but to give him patronage and support the Shri Avinash Chander set up illegal FFIC. This second FFIC also submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but still no action against Dr. A.K Saxena took place by DRDO.

Interestingly, 31st October in the eve of Vigilance week, Sh. R.S. Mehta, Joint Director, Vigilance, DRDO in his address mentioned to audience that how the corrupt practices adopted by Director, DMSRDE and his team in procurement cases.

Sir, it is not understandable that why Shri Avinash Chander constituted two fact finding committees? Why DRDO is silent on corruption cases of DMSRDE, Kanpur? Why Shri Avinash Chander is protecting Dr. A.K. Saxena?

In light of the above mentioned facts, it is requested that speedy action needed to save precious funds of poor tax payers. Dr A K Saxena openly using same corrupt practices in ongoing procurements cases. He told to his beloved team that Dr. V Bhujanga Rao, DG,NS&IC directed that left Rs 13 crores should be spend up to 31st March 2015 positively.

She was recruited through RAC without having eligibility for the post of Scientist ‘B’ in 2004. Dr Arun Kumar was than Director, RAC and manipulated all recruitment rules for secure her appointment for the post of Sc ‘B’

like

the subject advertised for recruitment was Biotechnology but her subject was environment science. For interview call the number of candidates against post ratio was changed temporary to accommodate her name

For interview subject expert was called from Delhi University the faculty of Environmental Science for the post of Biotechnology.

Ultimately after long fight since 2009 with gang of corrupt officials finally the day has come – Satya ki jeet hui ( सत्य की जीत हुई )

Congratulations to Dr Neelam Bhalla, Sc ‘F’,DTRL, Sh Prakash Singh, Senior Admin Officer Grade – II, LASTEC, Dr. Rajiv Chauhan, Dr A K Singh, DOP, DRDO, Media persons, CVC, CVO, MOD for their great effort for clean DRDO from Corrupt officials.

Now count down began for removal of Ms S Geetha, Sc, D, DIPAS for submitting fake experience certificate and Ms Dolly Bansal, Sc ‘C’, DIPR recruited without having proper qualification at the time application date.
