The Defence Minister
Room No -104, South Block
New Delhi – 110011

Honorable Sir,

I wish to bring to your notice another case of irregularities being committed by Dr. Arun Kumar, DOP, DRDO Hqrs. in the matter of recruitment of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ ( A Group ‘A’ Gazetted Post in DRDO)

  1. Sh. Dharmender Kumar was the Senior Technical Assistant -‘B’ (Non Gazetted Post) in SPIC, DRDO, Delhi. On his selection for appointment to the post of Assistant Professor( Mathemetics) in NDA, Khadakwasla, Pune, he resigned from the post of Senior Technical Assistant -‘B’ , which was accepted by the competent authority and he was relived on 20th December 2010 from   SPIC, DRDO, Delhi. He joined the post of Assistant Professor (Mathematics) in NDA, Khadakwasla, Pune on 22nd December 2010.
  2. Sh. Dharmender Kumar on his selection for appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO through Limited Departmental Competitive Examination for the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO vide DOP, DRDO letter No DOP/05/56002/LDCE 09-20 dated 23th December 2010.
  3. As per clause 2 (h) of terms & condition of offer of appointment letter, Sh. Dharmender Kumar was required to assume the appointment of Scientist ‘B’ within one month from the date of issue of above referred offer letter (23rd December 2010),failing which the offer of appointment will be cancelled( as mentioned in the)
  4. Further, as per terms & condition of offer of appointment issued to the Sh. Dharmender Kumar on 23rd December 2010 i.e. after 3 days of his being SOS from DRDO, and 1 day after joining the NDA, Pune, he was required to undergo a medical test by the prescribed medical board and required essentially to undergo a training course of Scientist ’B’ at DIAT, Pune. Further as per Directorate of Human Resources, DRDO letter No DHRD/17050/DIAT/POINTS16/C/M/1 dated 31st March 2011 that 20 weeks duration mandatory  training course for Scientist ’B’ has been scheduled w.e.f 20th April 2010.
  5. Sh. Dharmender Kumar should had not been issued with the letter of offer of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO on 23rd December 2010, when he  at own resigned and SOS from DRDO on 20th December 2010 and joined NDA, Pune on 22nd December 2010. The post of Scientist ‘B’ against which he was selected was meant out for the departmental candidate of DRDO as such, when he was not entitled to be given the offer of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO
  6. When the last date(22nd January 2011) bu assumption of charge of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO and joining the mandatory training course in DIAT, Pune by 20th April 2011 has already expired, his request for joining the post of Scientist ‘B’, DRDO should not have been entertained.
  7. Sh. Dharmender Kumar vide his letter dated 3rd February 2011 written directly to Scientific Adviser to RM (and not through proper channel of his office NDA, Pune) requested to extend the period of joining in DRDO as Scientist ‘B’ for a period of 2 months. The extended period of joining time expired on 22nd February 2011.
  8. As per the terms & condition of offer of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO as well as under the provision of DRDS Rules 1979 and amendments made thereof, the offer of appointment was required to be cancelled when he has failed to adhere to the terms & condition, a offer of appointment.
  9. From the contents of letter dated 3rd February 2011 of Sh. Dharmender Kumar it is  under that he was bypassed the official channel by writing directly to Scientific Adviser to RM, when he has holding the post of Assistant Professor (Mathematics) in NDA, where he was supposed to taught lesson overall discipline, including with regards to correspondence, command & control. He has left DRDO and NDA not for the sake of nation, but consideration (refer to para of his letter 3rd February 2011) both the offer being equally lucrative, more ever; the growth prospect and financial incentive were higher in the said venture. He has send the copy of his letter directly to the DOP, DRDO and not to his earlier controlling authority i.e. SPIC, DRDO

It is highly regretted to say that instead of taking any action against him for the acts of subordination, which are subversive of discipline, and cancelling the offer of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO, he has been allowed to join the post of Senior Technical Assistant -‘B’ in SPIC, DRDO on 2nd May 2011 and the very next day i.e. 3rd May 2011 itself the DOP processed his case vigorous  speed to evaluate him to join the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO, thus violating the provision of:

a)     Terms & Condition of the offer of appointment letter to the post of Scientist ‘B’

b)     DRDS Rules 1979

c)      Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rule 1964

d)     DHRD,DRDO Letter No DHRD/17050/DIAT/POINTS16/C/M/1 dated 31st March 2011

I would like to request you to kindly consider the above facts and ask the Defence Secretary to conduct a thorough inquiry into cases of misuse, abuse and unauthorized use of office and position of DOP,DRDO by Dr Arun Kumar, Scientist ’H’ Outstanding Scientist,  DRDO Scientist of the Year Award in the year 2008. So that rule of law is allowed to prevail in the organization in a transparent manner.

We all look forward to your statements “Nurture talent, ensure fairness” “fairness at all levels”, but Sir, DRDO’s honest employees are eagerly waiting for implementing your statements, I ensure on behalf of all DRDO’s honest employees if the day this is implemented, the whole nation will see the great output of DRDO.

Thanking you

 Respected Smt Sonia Ji                                                                                                         The Times of India has reported the “Major Clean Up in Graft hit Intel Agency”

The corruption in purchase has been investigated and major penalties awarded additional secretary Dr MS Vijayraghvan, NTRO was directly under PMO, NTRO has been conceived by the DRDO. All those people holding the high offices in NTRO have served in DRDO at least for 20 -25 years.

The DRDO corruption culture is running in their veins. DRDO is training ground for technocrats to learn the skills of corruption using all technical terminology to fool forces, bureaucrats, financial experts and as well as  politicians.

Defence Research, National; Technical Research, Space Research, Atomic Research all these research organizations started to accomplish a mission, to ease the life of common citizen of India, to enhance the economy growth, but the common man has lost the faith because they consume a heft some but deliverables are like piece of peanuts.

If we compare of technology development of North Korea probably we can find our self nowhere. North Korea is isolated from the rest of the world but they have the technology which can challenge the developed countries. It is due to the discipline inculcated in their citizens from decades.

Why we are not able to give due respect to our constitution. If we are not getting “some thing”, than we remembers the various articles of constitutions and there is lot of hue & cry for violation of fundamental right. But when its come to repay the due to constitution we simply ignore and than one man scratch another man’s back or blame game start.

DRDO in its successive   failures of projects/ programs have justified the expenditure by comparing the loss occurred due to rail accident, or loss occurred by natural calamities/ floods etc.

Sometimes DRDO people compare their assets with assets of XYZ, who won the election and enjoyed the facility provided by the government. This sickness expressed just to justifies the expenditure where the system did not perform due to incompetency of top DRDO officials. There is rat race in DRDO now days to become rich like a smugglers become rich in short period.

The tactics used by NTRO in their procurement as well as recruitments are followed exactly are one tone, carbon copy of DRDO existing culture.

Honorable Prime  Minister, Honorable Defence Minister must not ignore DRDO from the list of sick, unproductive organization, if it continuo like this, if accountability not fixed than history will repeat once again and the fighting forces lose their precious lives it is all due to non availability of latest frontline  technology.

Thanking you

Epitome of DRDO’s Dealing with Explosive

Leave a comment

To                                                                                            17th July 2011
The Defence Minister
Room No -104, South Block
New Delhi – 110011

Honorable Sir,

The recent serial bomb blast in Mumbai made a big question about the easy availability of such rare explosive RDX & TNT to terrorist outfit.

Please find enclosed document which shows the casual approach of HEMRL, DRDO, Pune the premier and one of the best explosive production facility of India.

While going through the document evidence and audit objection of auditor of JCDA, I found the loose end of HEMRL, DRDO, which may be one easy source for Naxalite–Maoist and Terrorist outfit to learn how to make explosive and also chance to pilferage the explosive may add to pilferage.

After receiving the document I have personally visited the place in the last June and observe the possibility and find out that the working method of HEMRL to make the explosive.

  1.  HERML having practice to hire outside manpower to produce explosive and the companies involved in this business is related to ex- DRDO senior officials. Dr Hardwar Singh, Ex- Director HEMRL & present director M/s Viswaat Chemicals Pvt Ltd since 2006), the sources said that earlier he was sleeping partner (his son Bunty was inducted in the firm as an employee) when he was active Director, HEMRL.
  2. The same company is involved in all the branches of HEMRL like ACEM, Nasik, where recently you visited on 29th June 2011 and as per press release of DRDO Dr Hardwar Singh was also present there. The company is working since 2000 under Government Owned Company Operated (GOCO) projects with Advance Systems Laboratory (ASL), SF Complex, Jagdalpur.
  3. Mr S A Borkar, Manager, M/s Viswaat Chemicals Pvt Ltd, is only person responsible to hire the manpower and he is doing purely in unprofessional manner by asking HEMRL employees to bring any person of their contact. No police verification is needed. He used to submit a list to police station and after depositing Rs 100/- get a receipt and that receipt is deposited in HEMRL security and they do not wait for police verification, that applied receipt note solve the formality. On the basis of this the casual labour gets the biometric entry card from HEMRL security. No proper entry mechanism is available in HEMRL or any other places.
  4. The records are only maintained with Mr SA Borakar’s office which was situated in old building of HEMRL. Why it is not maintained in HEMRL security because the number of persons in daily required or as per order is need never comes in and the payment bill was always placed as per order. This practice is also observed by local auditor and mentioned his audit objection.
  5. 5.    HEMRL having 1200 work force but as per local audit objection  for HYE 09/2009 & 03/2010 para (e)  “ As per clause 10 of tender specification HEMRL had provided expertise to train the contractors personal up to production stage and raw material formulate the production of TATB  (Triaminotrinitrobenzene explosive) to the contractor. In view of the above please intimate that why the production activity was not undertaken by in house HEMRL”
  6. As per para (D) of audit objection “Attendance: As per clause of MOU the contractor has to provide total 173 workmen. On scrutiny of documents it is revealed that no uniform system exists for maintaining the attendance by the Lab in respect of deployed Manpower. As per clause 1.5 of General Terms & Conditions the vendor shall ensure that In and Out records of all personals/workers are maintained at the security gate during the contract period. However the same is not being done.”
  7. As per para B of audit objection” Kindly refer to your letter No HEMRL/MMD/ 3044/SRP 09-10/34 Dt 01-02-10 under which the contractor was asked to submit the License for carrying out explosive and for operation of propellant facility. Please intimate the reasons for asking the requisite license after the commencement of the contract and how the contract was   awarded in absence of the requisite license. Unfortunately, till date the contractor has failed to produce the requisite license as promised in their letter date 01-02-10. The action taken by your Lab may be intimated to audit.”
  8. As per para (d) of audit objection” The documentary proof of raw material being brought inside the HEMRL through security gate by the contractor for the production of TATB  (Triaminotrinitrobenzene explosive) and the nominal roll of the employees deployed entire operation schedule of production activity may be made available to audit for verification”  There is no such records  available in HEMRL.
  9. As per para (d) of audit objection” Please intimate the costing formula adopted for fixing the price of TATB  (Triaminotrinitrobenzene explosive) @ Rs 11,000/- per KG and whether any concurrence have been obtained from Audit authorities.” The contract rates the working methodology is designed and formulated by Dr Hardwar Singh and Dr A Subhanand Rao, DS & CC R&D – DRDO for siphoned the poor tax payer’s money.

Sir, if you just inquire the file you will find n numbers of mechanism to made money like the product is made in house and the firm only providing the manpower but in their bill they are charging 8.24% excise duty and 4 % VAT, a big question because they are working in DRDO. Who can dare to check? The HEMRL not detecting 10% TDS from the firm in the name of providing specialize service.

The entire nation is aggrieved and as loyal citizen it is our responsibility to protect our country and the national interest. In the name of defence establishment even through employees have noticed the modus operandi they are not coming out because of CCS rules.

The Scientific Adviser’s office is become a black hole. Information/ feedbacks are regularly sent by all Labs and establishments but papers are tear off and put in the dustbin.

Yours sincere effort is needed to clean the DRDO.

Thanking you

Letter to Sh A.K Antony

As the honorable Defence Minister of India, this is your second successive tenure. The first one had limitation of weak government, as the number was not adequate and the survival of the government itself was always in doubt. As a result your Ministry did not commit ACCOUNTABILITY in R&D organization which is an important factor. In the new government, a strong majority prevails and therefore it is expected that you will discharge your duties as expected by the common citizen/tax payer of India.

As the Defence Minister, Late Sh. Viswanath Partap Singh adjudged DRDO scientist and manpower as social commitment, at the 1986 Directors’ conference at Bangalore. The obvious reason was that products developed by DRDO were Nil.. Today, even after 23 years, the output of DRDO remain Nil and it has not delivered a single item, 100% indigenous, due to following reason :-

1. There is no accountability in DRDO.

2. DRDO consumes a major share of the Defence budget but it has failed to deliver a single indigenous product useful for Indian Defence forces. Some defence officers raise their voices, but it is not heeded by the authority..

3. In the name of technology development DRDO rely on the import of current technology ( normally declared obsolete by Russia,USA, Israel, France etc)

4. The imported items are shown/demonstrated to users (ARMY/Navy/Air force). When it comes to mass development the actual fight begins between PSU’s and DRDO. It is because DRDO does not know the inherent property and fails to prepare proper TOT as required.

5. DRDO directors are bluff-masters. They act as if DRDO Labs are autonomous bodies. They have been trained by their predecessors to bluff and simply bluff. The Minister normally does not ask technical questions as a result DRDO has become a bluff-masters’ paradise.

6. The knowledge/higher degree is an optional requirement. DRDO rely on fresh B.Tech engineers and groom them  to continue  the bluff. If they disagree then they are forced to reign. See the number of DRDO scientists who’ve resigned in past 25 years.

Sir, will you please look into the grievances of the poor tax payers. Can you ask SA to RM to count in fingers what products DRDO has given so far and must judge in the light of North Korea’s and China’s capabilities.
You are working on P Rama Rao committee which intends to ameliorate DRDO, but through news we know that the bluff-masters of DRDO have already succeeded in diluting the action.
