DRDO Having Blind RTI Cell

1 Comment

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 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’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 ??????????????

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”

Honorable Sir,

  1.  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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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”
  6. 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.
  7. 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.”
  8. 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.
  9. 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.”
  10. 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.
  11. 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 .
  12. 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.

DRDO Corruption – Modus Operandi example prevailing corruption in DRDO labs

Subject: DRDO Corruption – Modus Operandi example prevailing corruption in DRDO labs

Honorable Sir,

  1. www.corruptionindrdo.com continues exposing 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 regularly passed to government and relevant agencies like CVC, IB, CBI etc.
  1. DRDO has a great and noticeable procurement culture. Rice exporter supplying sophisticated missile/high end parts or tent suppliers supplying rare chemicals or mostly cases the computer AMC holder become expert high end laser to xyz supplier.
  1. Almost a dozen corruption cases of Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), DRDO, Kanpur were submitted to CVC.
  1. CVC as a routine practice forwarded these complaints to CVO, MOD and MOD forwarded to CVO, DRDO.
  1. CVO, DRDO working under DG, DRDO, his ACR/APAR and career depends upon the hands of DG, DRDO. Secondly in DRDO the CVO assigned to Brigadier Ajay Gupta and it is observed that DG, DRDO used to pressurize his army channels through Lt. Gen who are posted in DRDO.
  1. In DMSRDE corruption case DG, DRDO made a Fact Finding Committee consisting all yes men. Not a single person from outside like PCDA, CGDA, CAG was included. The result was that the fact finding committee gave a clean chit to Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur as Dr. A.K. Saxena submitted affidavit to court that “ Fact finding committee has been constituted by DG, DRDO which has also not found any truth in any complaints”
  1. It is very heartening to know that if honest citizens contributing to Governments anti- corruption movement put all their strength, time, life at stake and some incompetent officials throw it in the dustbin. Besides, all complaints were submitted with all evidences.

Sir, once again without losing courage still submitting a complaint with evidence to CVC through your good office. Hope the matter will be taken seriously as everyone in this country remembers our “KARGIL WAR” and then General Malik uttered “casualties in the conflict could have been reduced had the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) “not come in the way”Jai hind!

  1. DMSRDE procured 227 Kg Polydimethylsilane (PDMS) costing worth Rs. 1,86,35,780.00 during the period 01.01.2011 to 31.12.2013. The whole supply of PDMS was made by M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur and M/s Paawavni Speciality Chemicals, Kanpur. Both of the firms are owned by Mr. Manish Gupta & his family members. Copy of the details of procurement of PDMS in DMSRDE Kanpur supplied by M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur and M/s Paawavni Specialty Chemicals, Kanpur is enclosed as Annexure-1.
  1. PDMS is used as a precursor material for synthesis of Polycarbosilane and the whole amount of PDMS was procured under a project titled ST 12-DRM 552(IPHTA- Inorganic Polymers for High Temperatures Applications) for synthesis of Polycarbosilane from PDMS.
  1. Vide Govt. of India, Min. of Defence letter No. DRDO/DBFA/FA/83226/M/01/2031/D(R&D) dated 10 July 2010 Sub: Delegation of Financial Powers to Secretary Department of Defence(R&D), Chief Controllers(R&D) & Heads of Defence R&D Lab/Estt., the maximum limit for sanctioning of purchases under Open, Global or Limited Tender basis is up to Rs. 50 Lakhs. Copy of the letter is enclosed as Annexure-2.
  1. Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur planned the procurement cases in such a way that total cost of the Supply Order remain just below Rs. 50 Lakhs (the financial power of Director) and split the consolidated demands in small demands to keep the cost of Supply Order below Rs. 50 Lakhs.
  1. Total numbers of eight demands were raised from various indenters in DMSRDE for procurement of PDMS. Five demands in limited tender basis and two repeat orders and one in open tender. But the best part is whole exercise by fooling all laid down procurement system in all cases then  bagged by M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur and M/s Paawavni Speciality Chemicals, Kanpur (both firms same owner), it clearly shows the manipulation level of  DMSRDE officials.pdms demand1 pdms demand2 pdms demand3

7.     Criminal Conspiracy, gross violation & subversion of Purchase Management 2006 for Corruption took place in procurement of 60 Kgs PDMS by Open Tender Reference   Number DMSRDE/13552064 dated 13.06.2013. Details of the case have been mentioned in above Demand-8. Other details regarding conspiracy & Corruption in procurement are given below.

  • In tender reference No. DMSRDE/13552064 dated 13.06.2013 four vendors qualified in TPC/NC. These vendors were Manglam Traders, Kanpur, Paawavni Speciality Chemicals, Kanpur, Dhankar Enterprises, Kanpur and Polygon Solutions, Hyderabad. Out of these two firms Manglam Traders & Paawavni Specialty Chemicals, Kanpur is family firms of one man Mr. Manish Gupta.
  • The third firm Dhankar Enterprises bids for support for to the M/s Paawavni Speciality Chemicals   because M/s Dhankar Enterprises was registered at DMSRDE, Kanpur in year 2013   with registration number DMSRDE_013/02C/35_10L in category Chemical & Instruments with capacity of 10 Lakhs. This firm Dhankar Enterprises, Kanpur is registered with UP Commercial Tax Department with TIN 09645200799 dated 14/05/1998. This vendor is not registered for commodity name Chemicals. Copy of the complete report of Dhankar Enterprises , Kanpur from Commercial Taxes Department, Uttar Pradesh is enclosed as Annexure-3
  • The fourth firm M/s Polygon Solutions, Hyderabad is registered with TIN 28849412432 dated 01/11/208 with commodity Computers Peripherals at Commercial Tax Department, Andhra Pradesh. Copy of the complete report of M/s Polygon Solutions, Hyderbad from Commercial Tax Department, Andhra Pradesh is enclosed as Annexure-4
  • The firms /vendors that are not registered under commodity CHEMICALS with Commercial Tax Department, then how do these vendors submit tenders under open tendering for specialized strategic chemicals rarely available in India.
  • All supply order placed to M/s Manglam Traders and its family firm M/s Paawavni Speciality Chemicals.
  • TPC/NC Minutes- External Rep was not present and Chairman TPC/NC was Scientist ‘F’ but as per Corrigendum year 2011 , the Chairman of TPC/NC should be Sc’G’/Director in cases above 50 lakhs
  • Polydimethylsilane is a rare chemical  not manufactured in India, the cost of supplied item also attracts manipulation, M/s Mangalam Traders supplied Polydimethylsilane 197 Kg  from 15 Dec 2011 to Dec 2013, rate varies from  Rs 45000.00 to 80000.00.
  • It is requested to kindly check the import list of M/s Mangalam Traders because Polydimethylsilane is a rare chemical not manufactured in India, from where and what cost M/s Mangalam Traders managed the supplied Polydimethylsilane.
  • It is also requested that please check whether supplied chemical is as per required specification or not because once the supply of   M/s Mangalam Traders was rejected on the basis of specification by indenter Sh.J. N. Srivatava (Demand No.: DMSRDE/13PPD010) and after that Dr A K Saxena made a committee and same supply was accepted.
  • By the facts stated above, it is amply crystal clear that prima facie material regarding Abuse of Authority by corrupt Dr. A. K. Saxena, Director DMSRDE exists.
  • In view of the above mentioned facts and evidences it is earnestly requested that an order for thorough investigation of all procurement done under patronage of  Dr. Arvind Kumar  Saxena after assuming charge as Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur to stop further corruption and wastage of poor tax payers money.

Subject: Complaint for irregularities in procurement of High Temperature Reactor dated 24th Dec 2013 to SA to RM, CVC, Defence Minister.

Reference: Dr. A K Saxena’s justification letter to you dated 22nd January 2014 on the above subject matter.

Dear Sir,

I have gone through the clarification of Dr. A K Saxena’s letter to you dated 22nd January 2014 on the above subject matter.

I am really shocked to see your concern and observations on corruption, although I once again am trying to convince as I belief that every human has honesty inside but needs to search for it within.

You will agree with me that whether Dr. A K Saxena’s involved and cooked the above procurement in an illegal manner or not.

In Point 2 he is writing in the above reference letter that “Never discussed, it is a false statement”

Dear Sir,

The line diagram attached is not exactly as per their offer, they have forwarded us            understand it will be somehow like the same.

As per our line of requirement they will send us in 2 to 3 days.

Regards

Anish Gupta

Attachment: 02

  • DMSRDE_Techno-Commercial_Reaction-unit -50lit-1.pdf
  • IPID0022.pdf

After seeing this mail you and I both have to accept that if Dr. Saxena is right then Mr. Anish Gupta has the supernatural power to know what the requirements of Project DRDM-552 are.

Dr. Saxena asked to file a complaint against me for spying. Actually it should be filed against Dr. Saxena’s  close friend and associate Mr. Anish Gupta, Partner of M/s Magalam Traders, Kanpur who is not only involved in this reactor case but several other procurement cases of DMSRDE like sample case-

Demand No. DMSRDE/13552009 for “Laboratory Microprocessor Based Programmable High Temp.Furnace” Item procured from M/s Omega Furnace Industries Bangalore, Item was duly supplied byfirm on 27th September 2013 vide RIN No 14LP0149 after all procurement process.

Like SPC, TEC, TPC 16th Jan 2013  etc, but suddenly M/s Manglam Traders comes in front and a review TPC was done,  under Chairmanship of  Dr. Sarfaraz Alam, Sc’G’              

para two of review TPC                                                                                                    

“Now, the firm M/s  Omega Furnace Industries, Bangalore has intimated that billing and supply of stores will be done by their local dealer M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur, vide letter of even no dated September 24, 2013”

Para three of review TPC                                                                                                  

“The finance rep told that the stores have been supplied by M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur. Hence, the payment may be made to M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur”

Para four of review TPC                                                                                                       

“ In view of aforesaid TPC recommends the following

For-Supply the stores & payment may be made to M/s  Omega Furnace Industries, Bangalore Read-Supply the stores & payment may be made to M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur

Sir, now tell me what else you want? As shown above, how does M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur come in the picture? It is because of his supernatural power capabilities which are common phenomena of DRDO labs. Everyone knows the Director’s favorite vendors have super powers of respective Labs. They can interfere in any procurement case even if it is highly sophisticated missile parts or nuclear stuff or unattainable chemical (सुई से लेकर हाथी तक) etc.

Now the second proof which can expose the mechanism of corrupt practices adopted by Dr. Saxena’s friend with super powers is that he sent two mails to Sh. J N Srivatva, Sc ‘F’s mail id jn_sri<jn_sri@rediffmail.com the indenter on Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:16:54 IST from mail id Anish Gupta<mangalam26@bsnl.in Subject: SUPPLIERS LIST in first mail he send list of 7 vendors for limited tender call for reactor procurement case and best part is that he highlighted the name of 5th supplier i.e. M/s De Dietrich, Andheri (E) Mumbai-400072, in second mail dated Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:24:33 IST  Subject: AADITIONAL SUPPLIERS LIST with same mail id sent list and address of 4 more suppliers. Out of 11 names Sh J N Srivatava invited quotations from 8 firms provided by Mr.Anish Gupta, Partner, Ms Mangalam Traders. Surprisingly the name Ms Mangalam Traders was not in the list.

Sir, Mr. Anish Gupta, Partner, Ms Mangalam Traders acted honorary consultant for Project DRDM-552, it will be very nice if you recommend the name of Ms Mangalam Traders for 2014

“Defence Technology Absorption Award” and he will receive this award from Honorable Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi Ji likes M/s Resins & Allied Products, Vijayawada received this award from Honorable Prime Minister Sh. Man Mohan Singh. The firm is related to Dr. A. Subhananda Rao, then CC R&D, Director, HEMRL.

It also covers his point no. 3 that “I have never sent any mail to Mr Anish” he forgot that I have never claimed in my complaint that Dr. Saxena had sent any mail to Mr. Anish. It is the frustration of Dr. Saxena so he is writing blah blah.

In same para he wrote that “How he got access of my email account.” It is very strange that if he totally denies of such communication of mails then why is he worrying about the mail access?In

In Para 6 I think Dr A K Saxena never gone through the letter of Sh S K Deb regarding Delegation of Financial Powers to Secretary Department of Defence (R&D),Chief Controllers (R&D) & Heads of Defence R&D Lab Estt No. DRDOIDBFAIF A/83226/M/OI /2031 /D(R&D) dated 30 July 2010.in which it is mentioned the power of Heads of Defence R&D Lab is Upto Rs 10 lakhs – Without consultation of Finance and Above Rs.l 0 lakhs and upto Rs.5 crores – With Concurrence IFA, Dr A K Saxena forgot that he is writing to his DG, who knows the financial power of a Director of Lab. As Dr A K Saxena wrote “ it range from 1 lakh to 5 cr with or without concurrence of competent authority” for justifying the split of procurement – bogus justification.

In Para 7 of his letter he quoted that”On my visiting card my e mail is written so any one who is having it can use” Dear Dr. A K Saxena in the computer era the mail generated by any one or sending to any one can be traced easily. Please allow DRDO or NTRO or NIC experts to prove the mail which you have received from Mr. Anish Gupta and duly forwarded to Sh. J N Srivastave are fabricated. I think someone has told you that if you format your computer nobody can prove that you have received a mail from Mr. Anish Gupta. Dr. A K Saxena if Dr. Bhujang Rao believes in national interest or faith in Sh. Modi ji’s mission to eradicate corruption from India then it is a matter of minutes and Google Gmail will provide all data of your Gmail account to the government of India and it is a common practice that Google has already mentioned from time to time on the request from various country.

Sir, it clearly proves the corruption on his side.

Although, it was a proven fact that corruption was done in this case, and many other cases which I have already submitted to competent authorities, I want to offer you or your rep if they want see the documentary evidences on this procurement. I will always welcome DRDO representatives or any government agencies.

Rest what else he has written to his above refer letter has nothing to do with justification of corruption. It is only to misguided to accounts people by using word like it is the only one which we have designed and developed in the first time in the world and blah blah or as he quoted “It is developed reactor based on our requirement not a market item” Dr. Saxena forgot in the age of Internet Era his son can understand that his father is fooling the whole nation in the name of technology.

The website www.corruptionindrdo.com’s sole mission is to eradicate corruption, nepotism and favoritism in DRDO.

Again, I believe that you will understand that Dr. A K Saxena is involved neck deep in corruption, but I do not believe the input of the fact finding committee because on the basis of evidences a blind man can smell the corruption but specially such a honest Chairman Dr. S S Negi closed his eyes for his future to become Director of IRDE or DEAL.

Now you throw ball in the court Dr. D C Pande, Sc H, LRDE for final enquiry, but it is unconstitutional that you are giving spare time to Dr. A K Saxena for cleaning his mess.

Sir, the corruption stains are same as blood stains because this kind of corruption by senior DRDO officials is compromising our national security. If it will not be checked properly, then in a situation like KARGIL WAR, DRDO will again have to be ready to listen to statements like than General Malik’s just after KARGIL WAR in reference with DRDO’s role.

An early action requested to eradicate corruption and again I am ready to support with evidences or if you feel I am also ready to face Dr. Saxena’s desired inquiry against me. It is always welcome by me as I have dedicated my life to the nation.

Sir,

It is really very unfortunate that the Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur wasting the poor tax payer’s money with each and every manner and you are not taking it seriously.

The complaints, representations of his act & deeds piled in your good office. Hope you also got the fact finding inquiry chairman’s report from Dr S S Negi, Scientist ‘H’, IRDE, Dehradun.

Complaints regarding procurements, exposure of relation with suppliers, manipulation of all rules and regulation for personal gain, encouraging incompetent officials, administration failures, interacting with media without permission, giving false statement to media etc. cases are pending in your table.

Several complaints routing through CVC and Honorable Defence Minister also on the way but it seems like Krishan Bhagwan you are counting   95,96,97,98,99………. and waiting for 100th complaint.

Sir, today I have received a news clip and few photographs of Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur and information regarding misuse of staff car. Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur used staff car for to visit outer area of Kanpur with family. Dr A K Saxena forgot the recent  Supreme Court’s Order “The use of red lights on the vehicles carrying the holders of constitutional posts will in no manner compromise with the dignity of other citizens and individuals or embolden them to think that they are superior to other people, more so, because this distinction would be available to them only while on duty and would be co-terminus with their tenure,” it said.

I think you have not conveyed yet the incident of Red Beacon Light with you recently while you are going to attend Director’s conference to Metcalf House.

Therefore, it is requested to take appropriate action against Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur to honor the Supreme Court of India and save poor tax payers money.

Assessment call for promotion to delinquent Scientists of DMSRDE Kanpur

Subject : Assessment call for promotion to delinquent Scientists of DMSRDE Kanpur

Sir,

I have submitted eleven complaints to you regarding Corruption cases meted out by Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, Defence Materials and Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur and several other Scientistsof this establishment working under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Min. of Defence. Details of complaints along with involved Scientists are as follows:dmsrde rac

Based on my complaints to you a Fact Finding Committee was constituted by DGR&D and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri to investigate my complaints and I have been informed by CPIO, DRDO regarding this. Copy of the letter No. RTI/01/2091/P/2014/0068 25 Feb 2014 from CPIO, DRDO is enclosed, Fact Finding Committee of DRDO yet to submit his report to DGR&D, DRDO.

The Fact Finding Committee under Chairmanship of Dr, S S Negi, Sc ‘H’, IRDE with as member Sh Manoj Bali, Sc ‘G’, Director, LIC, DRDO Hqrs and Sh Jagdeep, Sc ‘F’ Additional Director, DMM, DRDO Hqrs visited DMSRDE and inspected few files and interacted with scientists of DMSRDE. It is observed that the demeanor of  Fact Finding Committee was not appreciable, they treated the complainants unfairly because their mindset was prejudice and it is standard procedure in DRDO if someone want to give feedback about corrupt practice  of top officials they try to do their best for victimize such personnels. In this case the protest from complainants already present to DG, DRDO.

There are n numbers of examples, recently Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II, LASTEC, who gave feedback of corrupt practices of Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, LASTEC and others,  the whole DRDO sit aside and they forcibly gave CRS to Sh Prakash Singh but grace of GOD you intervene the situation and save the service of honest person. Surprisingly, Dr Anil Kumar Maini is living DRDO from 31st May 2014 as he applied VRS and got sanctioned. His retirement was due on 31st Jan 2015, Big question what is the hurry, or he is maintain the LASTEC legacy, his predecessor was also took VRS.

In this case the Fact Finding Committee Chairman Dr, S S Negi, Sc ‘H’, IRDE is a pro management, yes man recently in Dehradun he set a unprecedented example as Chairman of ASCODAR committee. While handling a very sensitive issue of SC Community he tried to harass Sh Jagdish Kumar, TO ‘C’ by pressurizing him to give power point presentation to prove himself for 94 marks in APAR, which was not in the purview of ASCODAR. This act was done only in pressure of Sh R C Agarwal, Director, DEAL, Dehradun (Fax copy enclosed)

How can honest persons believe that Dr, S S Negi, Sc ‘H’, IRDE will give justice to his assignment of Chairmanship of Fact Finding Committee. Hope GOD will give him strength to come out from grip of corrupt gang of DRDO.

Besides this above mentioned my all complaints has been registered at CVC and Director (VIG.), Ministry of Defence is inquiring the complaints. In this connection I got letter No. CVC/RTI/13/1862/249925 dated 18th March 2014 from CVC.  “All complaints sent to CVO, MoD for further action.

Sir, this year in DRDO following delinquent Scientists of DMSRDE involved in Corruption got assessment call for promotion vide RAC, DRDO letter No. RAC/08/05/AB/M/2014 dated 12 March 2014.  Details are as follows:dmsrde rac2

Sir, DRDS Rules 1979 as amended are applicable for Recruitment & Promotion   in case of DRDS cadre (Scientists) and FCS is fully applicable in DRDO. As per DOPT OM No. AB-14017_37_2008-Estt-RR.pdf dated 10 September 2010 page 6 Para (ix)     and Page 9 Para(4) it is clearly stated that “Scientists/ Technical experts doing management/ administrative work in the Ministries should not be considered for up gradation under FCS, they should only be given benefit of up gradation under MACP”. Then how these corrupt officers got outstanding report and outstanding call despite being involved in Administrative/Management/Non-Scientific work. These officers got reward from Dr. AK Saxena, Director for indenting and clearing the cases of procurement that resulted Corruption in tunes of crores.

Sir, I therefore kindly request you to issue order to DGR&D, DRDO and Chairman, RAC to take appropriate action as per laid down direction of GOI for appearing in Assessment-2014 for DRDS till they got clearance from Vigilance (MOD) and Fact Finding Committee of DRDO.

Sh Avinash Chander in his reply to press question regarding engaging scientists in allied work justified but he forgot that VI Pay commission gave all incentives to scientists who are engaged in scientific work not for those who are working as clerk and wasting our country’s  poor tax payers money.

Unfortunately, DRDO top management encouraging scientists to work as managerial task, like HR, Admin, Stores, Security etc for long durations and scientists who are involved in such tasks are getting outstanding promotions without any scientific contributions. Dr A K Singh, DOP, Dr R K Jain, Director, RAC are exemplary examples to all DRDS scientists.  Result the real scientists either leaving the organization or dumped un-utilized or frustrated and every ugly acts are coming out from organisation.

Appropriate early action is requested, I would like to thanks you for recommendation of CBI investigation in DRDO recruitment scam for 10 top DRDO officials and also recommendation for alternate recruitment mechanism instead of RAC.

DRDO corruption’s Heights that they even not leave the Knowledge Corner (Library)

Subject: DRDO corruption’s Heights that they even not leave the Knowledge Corner (Library)

Honorable Sir,

To enhance the knowledge of DRDO scientists and make them updated, Ministry of Defence provide library grant generously. Apart from this the pay commission has recommended special assistance for the purchasing of books/journals to individuals scientist.

The library budget of DRDO’s laboratory is a lucrative assignment for corrupt scientists. The scientist library in-charge has direct access to head of establishment.

The case of corruption in library procurement was first exposed at DIAT, Pune, where then In-charge Library Dr A K Tyagi, Sc ‘F’ did financial manipulation in Library. CVC has been found prima facie material against Dr A K Tyagi.  And Regular Disciplinary action was recommended on: 9/9/2013. Consequently DRDO Hqrs finally charge sheeted on 8th October 2013. Charge Sheet signed by Honorable Defence Minister, Sh A K Antony.

The case of Dr A K Tyagi, Sc ‘G’ is not an isolated case but DRDO labs in general have misusing the library grants and if serious enquiry is set up every lab will give foul smell.

The recent example of DMSRDE, Kanpur’s library procurement cases revealed the astonishing facts and figures of library procurement. The RTI helped to expose the corrupt practice prevailing in library procurements.

Enclosed case revealed that the DMSRDE officials are not following the DRDO Purchase Manual -2006. Even after cancellation of Supply Orders on 23 August 2012 the invoices dated 02 May 2012 were accepted while Supply Orders were placed on 27 April 2012. Thereby mischievously & fraudulently the supply of books were accepted in back date to get fatty commission from these vendors. This gross violation of rules & blunder took place even after cancellations of Supply Orders establish conspiracy against Government by Mr.  Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena.

DRDO has become hub of corruption and honorable defence minister is requested to take a strong action to prevent further damage of moral and ethics.

It was mentioned in Para (2) of Terms & Conditions of Supply Order “This supply order shall automatically stand cancelled w.e.f. the next day after the date of delivery mentioned in this order”. Therefore supply orders were automatically stand cancelled after 90 days from issue of Supply Order (27 April 2012) i.e. w.e.f.  27 July 2012. Copies of letters No. TL/0510/WBF-2012 dated 23rd August 2012 issued for cancellation of supply orders to four vendors are enclosed as Annexure-24 to Annexure-27.
  4. d.         Twenty two invoices were found for the financial year 2012-2013 with following details:libtable12libtable13libtable14libtable15
  5. e.  Books were supplied against four supply orders that were cancelled on 23 August 2012. The fake invoices were fabricated from back date but actual supplies of books were made after cancellation of supply order. This smack conspiracy, manipulation and tampering of records for Corruption.
  7. 12.      During the FY 2012-2013 the following irregularities, gross violations of rules, loss of public fund and Corruption took place in procurement of Books.

  8. MAJOR FINANCIAL IRREGULARITIES & BLUNDERS IN PROCUREMENT OF BOOKS BY  MR. JITEDNRA YADAV, SCIENTIST ‘E’ & DR. A.K. SAXENA, DIRECTOR

    1)          DRDO Manual of Procedures for Management of Libraries and TIC 1999 as amended and Purchase Management 2006 as amended are being used in DMSRDE, Kanpur for procurement of books & periodicals. Rule 4.2 of Chapter 4 (ACQUISITION) of Manual is applicable for procurement of Books & Monographs. Copy of relevant rules of chapter 4 are enclosed as Annexure-50.

    2)           As per Rule 4.2.2 of this Manual selection of vendors should be made on the basis of their past services provided to the library, distributorship of publishers and infrastructure available with them. In the years 2009-2010, 2010-2011 & 2011-2012 there was almost no supply of books and only three vendors get supply orders in 2009-2010 and supplied books. Also these vendors offered 30% discount on books (Foreign & Indian).

    3)          In the FY 2009-2010 mode of tendering was limited tender of PM 2006 to get better discount and competition to save public money and this results 30% discount on books.

    4)          In FY 2012-2013 violations of rules and procedures of procurement of books were grossly violated to achieve fatty commission that results financial loss to exchequer. Supply Orders were issued to vendors without keeping in view the past services of the vendors. This results cancellation of all supply orders that took place on 27 April 2012. Hence these vendors should be blacklisted for further procurement of books in Library. But even after non-supply and automatic cancellation of supply orders after expiry of delivery period of 90 days, the supply orders were issued to same vendors on 17 August 2012.

    5)          Supply Orders were placed on single tender and 10% discount to pet vendors of Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director and all vendors were from New Delhi only. Adopting the process of single tender with 10% discount without following previously adopted procedure of limited tender where vendors were offering discount of 35% – 40% on purchase of foreign books, resulted huge loss of public money and commission making by Mr. Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena.

    6)          Even after cancellation of Supply Orders on 23 August 2012 the invoices dated 02 May 2012 were accepted while Supply Orders were placed on 27 April 2012. Thereby mischievously & fraudulently the supply of books were accepted in back date to get fatty commission from these vendors. This gross violation of rules & blunder took place even after cancellations of Supply Orders establish conspiracy against Government by Mr.  Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena.

    7)          There was no procedure followed for selection of books. In fact there was no requirement of books from Scientists as no demands were made. There was no procurement of books in past two years and only Rs. 94833.00 was expenditure in purchase of books in FY 2009-2010.

    8)          It is crystal clear that Corruption took place in FY 2012-2013 where all of sudden books of Rs. 1467810.00 has been procured while in previous years it was “NIL” or very less Rs. 94833.00 only in 2009-10. Demand of books which was NIL (Zero) in 2010-11 and 2011-12 has increased all of sudden near about to the Rupees 15 Lakh. As compared to purchase of books in FY 2009-10 the hike in 2012-13 is about 15.5 times. This indicates that books were purchased without any need and requirement just to earn fatty commission.

    9)          DRDO is having very old manual issued on 11 January 1999 regarding Management of Library/TIC of DRDO. This manual is called as “DRDO Manual of Procedures for Management of Libraries & Technical Information Centres“. After issuance of Purchase Manual -2006 of DRDO this old Manual became ineffective & obsolete. Most of the DRDO Labs/Estt. are using Purchase Manual for procurement of books, Print Journal and Online E-Journals. DMSRDE is also using PM-2006 from last six years for procurement of books, Print  Journal and Online E-Journals as can be verified from records of Technical Library of DMSRDE, Kanpur. All of sudden making purchase of books on the basis of old manual smacks malafide intentions and leads corruption in purchase of books in FY 2012-2013. In fact in year 2012-2013 provisions of DRDO Manual of Procedures for Management of Libraries & Technical Information Centres has not been fully followed. Purchase procedures of DRDO Manual are for small & urgent procurement not for big procurements in tune of lakh or crores.

    10)      Fatty Commission in Procurement of books in FY 2012-2013: Books of Rs. 1467810.60 were purchased at discount of 10% only while in year 2009-2010 the discount on books was 30%. Even in FY 2011-2012 the offered discount by vendors were 35% and now days vendors are offering 40% discount on foreign books. Therefore books were purchased at very high prices on very low discount of 10% only with gross violation & spirit of Purchase Procedures to get maximum discount in open competition under limited tender to save public money. Therefore Rs. 440343.00 (30% of 1467810.00) had taken as fatty commission by Mr. Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE.

    11)      Fraudulent supply of books with fake invoices: In FY 2012-2013 four vendors   submitted invoices dated 02 May 2012 against the supply orders dated 27 April 2012 while these Supply orders were cancelled on 23 August 2012 by Mr. Jitednra Yadav, Scientist ‘E’ , Head, Technical Library. The supply on 02 May 2012 was impossible as it takes at least 5 days to reach speed post from DMSRDE dispatch section to the respective vendor. The details /entries of invoices shows that these invoices were not diarised at Director Office central registry and directly entertained by Head, Technical Library. Besides the verification records like receiving of invoices & books at Technical Library, envelops of invoices, CRV, payments by ACDA & records at Finance Division will disclose the whole conspiracy made in procurement of books in back date even after cancellation of supply orders.

    12)      Splitting of consolidated demand of books in four parts: Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena split the consolidated demand of books in four parts and misused his official position & powers so that he can get fatty commission from his pet vendors. The books should be procured in one consolidated demands with proper negotiations with vendors to get maximum discount offered in open market. Four supply orders were issued on 27 April 2012 to four vendors that were not made any supply in past four financial years in DMSRDE. This splitting of books demand leads loss to public fund and Corruption of Rs. 440343.00 by Mr. Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE. Sprit of Purchase Rules and CVC Guidelines is that “The proposals shall not be split merely to bring them within the delegated powers”.
