World won’t wait for you, PM Narendra Modi tells laggard DRDO

Rajat Pandit,TNN | Aug 21, 2014, 05.46 AM IST
NEW DELHI: The “Chalta Hai” attitude will no longer do. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has directed the DRDO to ensure delivery of cutting-edge weapon systems to the armed forces in time to keep India ahead in the national security arena.

Though the stern message was couched in mild language, the intent behind it could not be lost. Most of DRDO projects, ranging from Tejas light combat aircraft to long-range surface-to-air missile systems, after all, are running years behind schedule with huge cost overruns.

The fact that India, which aspires to be a superpower, still embarrassingly imports over 65% of its military requirements is basically due to failure of successive governments to build a strong domestic defence-industrial base (DIB) as well as tardy performance of DRDO and its 50 labs, five defence PSUs, four shipyards and 39 ordnance factories.

India does not lack the requisite scientific talent and capability but this “chalta hai” attitude (lackadaisical) has put paid to all endeavours, said Modi at the annual DRDO awards function on Wednesday.

“The world will not wait for us. We have to run ahead of time. We should not say in 2014 that a project conceived in 1992 will take some more time,” said Modi. With defence technology evolving at a rapid rate around the globe, India cannot afford to conceptualize systems that are two steps behind what will soon hit the MARKET.

“DRDO has to decide whether it will only react to the situation, or become pro-active and set the agenda for the global community. I have hopes from DRDO because I know it has the capability to perform,” said Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the DRDO Awards 2013 function in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Defence minister Arun Jaitley also stressed that defence scientists had the “intellectual talent” to turn DRDO into “a hub for defence manufacturing” if they worked towards it in the right earnest.

But this might take some doing. For one, DRDO wants more FUNDS for R&D. For another, though it has over 7,500 scientists on its rolls, it wants to attract bright youngsters from top-notch institutions like the IITs with better incentives.

“Our intake of young scientists is down to just 70 per year. This is certainly not a good sign for an innovation-centric organization. Sanction of additional manpower at the rate of 300 per year for the next seven-eight years is essential for meeting technology challenges,” said DRDO chief Avinash Chander.

But it’s equally true that DRDO itself needs to be revamped and reformed. As reported by TOI earlier, the Rama Rao Committee (RRC) in 2008 held DRDO should focus only on 8 to 10 “critical technologies” of “strategic importance”, instead of making everything from dental implants and mosquito repellents to nuclear missiles and fighter jets.

Two key RRC recommendations, for instance, to establish a new Defence Technology Commission and a commercial arm for DRDO (as a private limited company with Rs 2 crore as seed capital) are yet to be implemented.DRDO missiles

 

DMSRDE – Second Fact Finding Inquiry Committee 9th & 10th July 2014

It seems DRDO take U –turn in DMSRDE corruption cases. Shri AvinashChander , DGR&D and SA to RM constituted second four members  FFIC under Chairmanship of Dr. D C Pande, Outstanding Scientist, LRDE, Bangalore  and members Shri Haribabu Srivastva, Director, LASTEC, New Delhi, Shri R S Mehta, Joint Director, Dte of Vigilance& Security, DRDO Hqrs, Shri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’,Dte of Materials Management DRDO Hqrs  reached at Kanpur on 9th July early morning 5:00 AM at DMSRDE, Guest House, Kanpur by Rewa Express.

In deference to three members first FFIC which was led by Dr. S S Negi, Outstanding Scientist,this second FFIC did not entertained Dr. A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur. Dr.Saxena  was sent for two days leave and remained in  his government residence just adjacent to Transit Hostel’s DRTC Room where whole FFI was  conducted for two days by FFIC.

The first FFIC Committee did their inquiry under supervision of Dr. A K Saxena in DMSRDE Office in the room just opposite to Dr. Saxena office so that he can monitor activities of first FFIC. Chairman & members of first FFIC tried their best to discourage complainants and in month of March 2014  all scientists were under pressure due to their APAR and coming assessment and not opened or uttered any single word against Dr. A K Saxena in front of   first  FFI Committee. The first FFI Committee overlooked the gravity of complaints to Defence Minister rather they were busy in digging the past history of complainants. They were basically misleded and managed by Dr. A K Saxena.

The letter No DOP/DS/008/M/01 dated 28 May 2014 of DOP Dr. A K Singh prepared on basis of first FFI Committee Report already exposed the nexus between Dr. A K Saxena and first FFI Committee because the without any constitution rights and ignoring the terms and condition of FFI Committee they simply recommended the transfers of both complainants with baseless and illogical reasons. It should be asked to Dr. S  S Negi, Outstanding Scientist that if on allegations of habitual  drinking one senior Scientist  may be transferred then what about the drinkers of whole DRDO right from top at DRDO HQ and bottom at 52 Establishment/Labs of DRDO. Why they have not been transferred even they are heavy habitual drinker. In fact first FFIC was  hijacked by  Dr. A K Saxena.

The two days grilling of involved scientists of DMSRDE by second  FFI Committee members especially by Shri Mehta, Vigilance, DRDO Hqrs shows some hope that the committee will help to Shri Avinash Chander , DGR&D and SA to RM and DRDO Hqrs to take one step forward towards eradicate prevailing corruption in DRDO like Dr A K Tyagi, Sc ‘G’ waiting to face CVC disciplinary proceeding against him as he also involved in corrupt practices in procurement at DIAT, Pune.

Some scientists of DMSRDE given in writing about the facts of these procurements and shows their helplessness.

Second FFI Committee also got advantage that the DRRDS result was declared and scientists who supported Dr. A K Saxena’s corrupt practices under pressure opened up and exposed the modus of oprendi adopted by Dr. A K Saxena.  FFI Committee also got inputs about nexus between M/s Manglam Trades, Kanpur (Mr.Anish Gupta/Mr. Manish Gupta) and Dr. A K Saxena in various procurement cases.

1.       Reactor case is open case that the procurement was done in coalition  with M/s Manglam Trades because all mails are the perfect evidences of corruption and DRDO Hqrs already aware that CBI, Lucknow have already got all evidences and approached MOD. Payment of Reactor case has not been made till so far even after 18 months the Reactor was installed in January 2013 at DMSRDE.

2.       The case of procurement of Laboratory Microprocessor Based Programmable High Temp.Furnace supplied by M/s   Omega Furnace Industries, Bangalore. In this case illegal Second TPC was done for recommending to make payment  to M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur.( It can happen only in DRDO)

3.       Fume Hood Chamber procurement case is open example of looting in DRDO.

Common man are waiting to see the impact of new Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s Government on  DRDO, as Shri Avinash Chander Ji especially mentioned in his address in last JCM that “now new government has come and the accountability is also increased”.

It is coincidence that both FFIC having chairman from Uttarakhand and Uttarakhandies are famous for their honesty and devotion in service. We hope that like Dr. S SNegi, the Chairman of second FFIC Dr. D C Pande will not be hijacked by corrupt nexus of DRDO and he will do justice with DMSRDE people.

Corruption Cases of Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur

To                                                                                                        Date 5th July 2014                  
Hon’ble
Shri Arun Jaitly,
Defence Minister,
South Block, New Delhi-110011

Subject: Corruption cases of  Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur

Sir,

Defence Materials and Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur is one of the establishments under Defence Research & Development Organisation. Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur with effect from 01 January 2011 and he is posted in DMSRDE, Kanpur since 28 April 1984. In past 30 years he developed deep connections with local vendors and after his appointment as Director since 01 Jan 2011, these pet vendors are playing major role in procurement of stores & items.

  1. As vigilant & patriot citizen of the country, I filed 12 complaints on issues of Corruption against Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE to CVC and Hon’ble Defence Minister with proofs. Details of complaints on Corruption against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena is enclosed as Annexure-1.
  2. CVC has informed me vide his various letter & sms that my all 12 complaints have been forwarded to CVO, Ministry of Defence but till date no action has been taken against Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena. Copies of letters from CVC are annexed as Annexure-2.
  3. Since copies of all these complaints were also sent to Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri but till date no action has been taken against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena by Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO.
  4. The two statutory rules viz CCS (Conducts) Rule 1964 and CCS (CCA) Rules 1965 have been framed by Government of India for maintaining good conduct and discipline. Under Rule 14, Government of India Order on “Inquiry Officers to be senior in rank to the officers enquired against” it is mandatory that inquiry officer –Chairman as well as all members Inquiry Committee should be one  rank senior to the officer whose conduct is being inquired into. This principle has been reiterated in CVC Vigilance Manual, Railway Manual, CPWD Manual and all other DOPT Manuals.
  5. Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri is giving patronage to corrupt practices of Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena and promoting corrupt officers in the organisation. One simple example of patronage to Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena by Shri Avinash Chander, DG R&D, DRDO is to constitute an illegal Fact Finding Committee in Jan-Feb 2014 for inquiring complaints against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. In this committee Shri SS Negi, Scientist ‘H’ was Chairman and Mr. Manoj Bali, Scientist ‘G’ and Shri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ was members. This Committee was totally illegal as Chairman was of equivalent rank and two members of FFC were very junior to Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. This establishes that Shri Avinash Chander, DG R&D, DRDO wilfully constituted an illegal committee for giving patronage & protection to corruption in DMSRDE, Kanpur by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. Intentions of Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO is very open to protect corrupt officer Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena by any means.
  6. This Fact Finding Committee took only one complaint out of my several complaints and gave false report despite FFC did not interact with me and all proofs were submitted along with complaints. That complaint was regarding procurement of ‘REACTOR. The said REACTOR was procured by DMSRDE in 2012 and REACTOR was supplied to DMSRDE in January 2013. Till date payment of said REACTOR has not been made to the vendor.
  7. In light of the above, in the interest of organisation, I kindly request you to take appropriate action against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE   and issue directives to CVO (MOD) to speed up the investigation on my complaints.

With kind regards,

(Prabhu Dandriyal)

DRDO Having Blind RTI Cell

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: 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.

  • 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.

Policy bankruptcy in DRDO – hype to create artificial crisis

डीआरडीओ में नीति का दिवालियापन – कृत्रिम संकट पैदा करने के लिए प्रचार
To                                                                                                                                 28th May 2014

With 64 Crores annual budget in 1980, when Dr. V S Arunachalam took over as Scientific Adviser, the budget allocation enhanced to 1100 crores with missions made to develop missiles under IGMDP program.

That was the beginning of infrastructure development and deteriorating of scientific research and development. By March every year i.e. the closer of financial year, everyone from Scientist ’B’ to SA to RM office were looking for procurement cases only and those who met the expenditure by any means were rewarded with scientist of the year award.

However the conscious financial officers use to raise objections, so special provisions were made and duly approved by ministry. SA to RM was given special powers to procure under single quotation more than Rs. 10 lakh where procurement committee could be bypassed. This decision was taken to facilitate the speedy development of technology for missiles.

The incumbent after Kalam, further modified the single tender purchase and the SA office granted permission for procurement of one lakh rupees only.

The cases were raised left and right on single tender procurements, where hefty sums were returned to indenter as kickback. This procedure became a culture of DRDO and when in 2006 DRDO Purchase Manual was introduce and policy was framed, Directors powers were raised to 50 Lakhs rupees with Hqrs. rep in crores and SA’s power raised up to 50 crores.

When previous Defence Minister Sh. A K Antony noticed the foul smell, he ordered CGDA for special audit of DRDO. CGDA found that DRDO Directors including Scientific Adviser misused the funds by splitting procurement orders within their limit of sanction power. They fooled the country in all possible ways. A well known fact is that 70% of DRDO requirements come from foreign countries; it means that DRDO is wasting precious foreign currency which is hard earned by the country.

DRDO procured, in last 10 years, thousands of crores of rupees equipments and these equipments are lying idle in various Lab premises and waiting for their departure to the scrap house.

With the passage of time DRDO has become a dumping ground of obsolete technology and a way to needlessly waste the poor tax payers’ money without any end result.

Honorable Prime Minister is requested to overhaul the DRDO structure totally and take strong actions to implement Accountability.

Fight Against Corruption prevailing at DMSRDE, Kanpur – Act of Desperate D G DRDO

To                                                                                              20th May 2014
Sh Avinash Chander,
DG DRDO, DRDO Bhawan,
Rajaji  Marg, New Delhi-110105

Dear Sir,

This website has been reporting the several cases of corruption/ nepotism and anarchy against SC/ST and weaker section of the society prevailing in DRDO.

The legacy followed from early 80’s has shown that instead of to counter the corruption / nepotism the top brasses of DRDO has carved out a mechanism to disseminate the whistle blowers.

The whistle blowers of DMSRDE, Kanpur who had been helping the DRDO Hqrs to keep an eagle eye on corrupt practices of senior officials and Director of DMSRDE has been served transfer orders to Timbuktu.

DRDO Hqrs thinks the transfer order is a only weapon to solve the problem and divert attention from corruption, but those days are over now.

Sh R P Bhat, Scientist ’F’ and Sh Naveen Prakash Gupta, Scientist ’C’ both were awarded transfer order on 19th May 2014 afternoon and immediately relived on account of their fight against corruption of Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

The transfer shows that DRDO Hqrs is deaf and dumb and bunch of corrupt officials who are protecting corrupt officials of DMSRDE are not able to hear the Modi’s Hunkar against corruption. The clear mandate by 125 crores people of India for eradication of corruption and corrupts only.

In similar case Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II, LASTEC, DRDO, Delhi, who exposed the corrupt practices of Dr A K Maini, Director, LASTEC.  Sh Prakash Singh was dismissed by service on the wrong feedback of Dr A K Maini.  Defence Minister noticed the truth and reinstated Sh Prakash Singh and ordered high level inquiry against corrupt officials. To avoid the consequences of investigation Dr Maini took the VRS and the current position of the case is on your table as CVO, MOD was not satisfied with DRDO Hqrs reply in Dr Maini’s case.

The same bunch of officials of DRDO Hqrs who suggested the termination of Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II is instrumental in recent transfer orders of DMSRDE scientists. You very well know the then DG Dr V K Saraswat did not apply his mind in Sh Prakash Singh’s case and trusted those bunch of flatterers and result he was out unceremoniously and CBI sword is also hanging.

Sir, if at all you can prove your worthiness, please gives your reaction in turn help the organization.

With warm regards

Heights of Ego of Retiring Director, LASTEC, DRDO

It is heartening to inform you all that Director, LASTEC, DRDO has such caliber that he has written more than a dozen books and some are not even of his field.

Beside this he is an expert in down grading APAR marks of honest officers. Before the paper reaches him he compels the assessing and reviewing officer to downgrade APAR marks.

On 5th May 2014 he exercised his absolute power, which is with him up to 3rd June 2014, and compelled assessing officer to downgrade APAR marks of Sh. Prakash Singh, SAO-II who was certified as an honest officer by Honorable Defence Minister Sh. A. K. Antony.  Assessing officer initially gave 90 Marks to Sh. Prakash Singh, SAO-II. However, Director, LASTEC, DRDO Dr. Anil Kumar Maini terrorized the assessing officer and the 90 marks became 83 and whitener was used on 8 places.

Amazingly, Dr. Anil Kumar Maini not satisfied even after down grading APAR of Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II. He again called assessing officer on 13th May 2014 and threatened to use Official Secret Act, 1923 on him, this was the retort of Dr Maini as stated by reliable sources after seeing the 5th May comments on website www. corruptionindrdo.com.

These 8 white blots are basically not on the APAR of Sh. Prakash Singh SAO-II but they are in your bag which you are carrying with you after superannuation (VRS).

Hope Sh. Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO will protect  the assessing officer from the sharp horns of ? for the sake of dignity of DRDO.

खुदा जाने ये ईगोइस्ट डीआरडीडीओ डायरेक्टर्स  डीआरडीडीओ को किस रसातल तक ले जायेंगे ?

Ego & high handedness of Lab Directors ruined the Defence Preparedness.

To                                                                                                         5th May 2014  
Sh A K Antony,
Defence Minister
Room -104, South Block,
New Delhi – 110011

Subject: Ego & high handedness of Lab Directors ruined the defence preparedness.

There are several cases of such criminal offences of DRDO Directors where, the day he assumes charge, he becomes an authority without accountability, capable of implementing corruption and nepotism under his control. He deceives the organizational goal.

Dr. Anil Kumar Maini, Director LASTEC, DRDO has set an example of personal vendetta against an honest hard working officer Sh. Prakash Singh, Senior Administrative Officer – II (SAO-II), LASTEC, DRDO

Dr. Maini is frustrated because Sh. Prakash Singh exposed his corrupt practices to CBI. Dr. Maini mislead DRDO Hqrs. managing Compulsory Retirement Orders (CRS) for Sh. Prakash Singh.

After one year, honorable Defence Minister noticed this injustice and Sh. Prakash Singh was reinstated.

For three years in successive prior to 2014 Sh. Prakash Singh was given 65 marks only in APAR. After reinstatement the responsible officer under whom Sh. Prakash Singh reporting Joint Director (AFHQ Cadre) is well versed with the criticality of work assigned to Sh. Prakash Singh and his committed involvement towards day to day administrative work has evaluated him with 90 marks.

When Dr. Anil Kumar Maini came to know about the APAR marks of Sh. Prakash Singh, he was annoyed with the assessing officer, the Joint Director (AFHQ Cadre) and told him to give a justification/presentation in front of board of senior scientists of LASTEC.

Such irresponsible act of Dr. Anil Kumar Maini for ego satisfaction may create a divide in DRDO cadre.

It has been brought to the notice of honorable Defence Minister several times, that administrative responsibilities given to scientists are not being performed according to laid down constitutional provisions. Most of the time, “Chamchas” follow the director’s verbal orders blindly. The DRDO lab directors busy with settle their personal vendetta they don’t have time to see the national interest.

It is requested that appropriate directive may be issued to Dr. Anil Kumar Maini to stop the harassing of honest officials of LASTEC, DRDO.
