iii) DA
5. Total number of Scientist resigned from April 1990 – March 2010
6. Total number of scientist joined DRDO from April 1990 – March 2010
Why I asked this Information –
DRDO sends annually many officers for higher studies particulars to IIT’s and national Universities. The admission which granted normally after tough competitions are available to DRDO’s sponsored candidates was easily.
Aim of such higher studies is to use the academic platform to solve the complicate technical issues. DRDO in turn give the IIT’s or Universities sufficient grants against project and R&T schemes.
No one gets benefited neither the institutions nor the DRDO, it is because the most of the individuals after getting higher education working as admin, allied works, and the reaction of this most of them leave the organization. For example Dr.DP Singh, Estate Manager, Scientist ‘F’ did his post graduation and PhDs from DRDO sponsoring and performing duty of admin purely non scientific assignment. Sh A.K Musla, Sc ‘F, holding post Joint Director Admin in IRDE, Dehradun, he also did his B.Tech and M.Tech from DRDO sponsored funds and working as purely in admin. I am quoting only two names as tip of the iceberg, because in DRDO you will find 100 of such cases. DRDO is shear wasting the corers and corers rupees public funds in the name of higher education programs. Although, the aim and object of the higher education program is really good, but in hands of bad corrupt officials, the output is wasting by DRDO.
According to the ministry, a total of 1,107 scientists, mostly young entrants, have resigned from the DRDO between 2003 and 2007, implying that on an average one person leaves every two days.

What I have asked in my RTI
The DRDO Awards Scheme, in its present form, was introduced in the year 1999 to motivate DRDO scientists, engineers and partners in industries and academic institutions in contributing for the cause of national security and self-reliance. The present Award Scheme, instituted by the Government of India, are therefore, meant to encourage DRDO scientists and our partners in the Private Sector Undertakings (PSUs), the private firms as well as the academic institutions in performing even better towards accelerating the pace of development of critical technologies, transfer of technologies from laboratories to industries as well as productionisation of the state-of-the-art defence systems
The Scheme consists of a total of 17 awards, out of which, 4 awards are given by the Directors of the concerned laboratories/establishments in recognition of outstanding contributions of their scientists and other supporting staff consisting of technical, administrative and allied cadres. The remaining 13 awards are decided at the DRDO HQrs for which nominations are called every year from all laboratories/establishments. The nominations are initially short listed by the Screening Committee under the chairmanship of the Chairman, Recruitment and Assessment Centre (RAC). The short listed nominations are, thereafter, examined by the Apex Committee for finalisation of the awards which also consists of two outside experts. These awards are normally given away by the Prime Minister of India on the “Technology Day” which falls on 11th May of every year.
In this connection it is requested to provide the following detail information
Total amount of investment made on DRDO awards year wise from 1st April 1999 to till date 2010
i) Total amount invested in arranging Award ceremony
ii) TA/DA on recipient of the awardees and spouse
iii) All categories of all cash award by all Laboratories/Establishments and DRDO Hqrs. during period of April 1999 to till date. In following format
Why I asked this Information –
The awards given by Government of India like Padma Award, Shanti Swaroop Bhatnager Award etc all these awards are given with an aim to encourage/motivate/ recognize the contribution of individual recipients and therefore it carries a citation.
DRDO constituted its awards like Scientist of the year, Young Scientist awards, Technology Leadership Award etc. with the aim to inculcate a culture of hard work, dedication, scientific achievements, and technology breakthrough leading to the technology development for national security.
But the award given in DRDO, the mode of selection, the encouragement to the scientific team does not rely on the standards.
Different rules for different occasion or different rules for different officer, the motto of DRDO or the definition of DRDO is suitably implemented..
The public would like to know the manner DRDO spending nearly 2 crores of rupees annually to these awards, the recipients does not know that he has been chosen for this award, there is no scientific presentation of technology. The recipients, are even unable to operate any scientific instruments like network analyzer, spectrum analyzer etc because most of awardees scientist or technical personals are working as Director Management Services, Head Material Managements, Security Officer, Library In-charge, Works In-charge and other suitable position from where they can feed their Akas(Boss).
If any one look in to the list of award recipients and analyses year wise, he will be find the most of citation actually not even justify the work or relation between award and awardees.
There is N number of examples available in various labs where most of awards were not justified; it is purely depending upon the Director’s choice. So nut shell DRDO awards are like ”Andha banten revari apne apne ko de” it is nothing doing with their contribution whether the awardees is related to technology or not. How come a person sitting in security, MT will entitled to get technology award, when DRDO having other awards for non technical working area.
It is really big question in front of country people?
Like in Kargil, one officer got gallantry award and later it was found that the fake encounter was staged for award. (Famous ketchup Colonel Case)
Same tactics is adopted by DRDO they are distributing awards to their own boys with fake technology propaganda.
Since money belongs to poor tax payers, when Padama award citation are available to citizen of India then how can DRDO deny give details in the name of schedule –II exemption.
One award Defence Technology Absorption Awardis using by DRDO for giving color to their pet firms. Anyone can judge from the recipients list that these firms are really worth does these firms have any significant signature in field of respective industry like M/s Resins & AlliedProducts, Vijayawada. received this award from Honorable Prime Minister Sh Man Mohan Singh is related to Dr. A. Subhananda Rao, CC R&D, Director, HEMRL)
What I have received
The total amount spent during 2008, 2009 and 2010 on the following Awards:
(a) Agni Award for excellence in self reliance – ‘ 75 Lakhs
(b) DRDO Award for Performance Excellence.- 60 Lakhs
(c) Scientist of the year Award — 60 Lakhs
(3) File No. CIC/LS/A12011/000385
What I have asked in my RTI
How many technical paper were published by DRDO Scientists in International Journals like Journal of Applied Physics, IEEE Transactions, Proceedings IEEE, Transactions IEE, Electronics Letter, SPICE etc. from 1990 to March 2010?
How many authors were awarded by DRDO for their contribution and keeping the flag of DRDO high
How many such authors were assigned the administrative task to lead the DRDO Labs as Director and then CC R&D?
How many such authors were left the DRDO during April 1990 to March 2010 period?
Why I asked this Information –
Almost 400 Corers of rupees are distributing through these boards and different DRDO projects to IIT’s, Universities’ and Colleges and even some NGO’s, in the name of expanding and deepening the knowledge-base, Enhancing core competence in the field of knowledge, To encourage and provide funds for basic research in pertinent scientific disciplines etc.
The most of funds distributed till date to maximum private universities and private institutions and especially in last ten years out of total grants has gone to southern states. DRDO in its charter of duty has specifically mentioned Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to North East the equal opportunity will given to universities/institutions.
The DRDO is giving funding for various R&T projects with IIT’s, IIsc’s and various premier scientific institutions. In return DRDO sends annually many officers for higher studies particulars to IIT’s and national Universities.
The number of international papers can justify the real out of projects working with IIT, IIsc and other various institutions.
I am surprised that DRDO is deny for giving information related to paper publish in international journals, where is schedule-ii exemption is comes in between.
Information sought is already publish in journals, so why DRDO afraid to give information. It shows that DRDO is not respect for RTI Act 2005.
International publications are basically the most valuable achievement of any scientific institute /organization and it always proudly mentioned by each and every institute /organization.
What I have received
(a) Numbers of papers published by the Scientist of DRDO during last five years:
After taking his charge as CC R&D at DRDO Hqrs, how many days he stayed in DRDO Hqrs up to 31st March 2010
How many temporary duties to Hyderabad he had been with total stay at Hyderabad.
How much in total TA/DA he has drawn year wise from his joining as CC R&D at DRDO up to 31st March 2010.
With Reference to Shri RC Agarwal, Director DEAL, Dehradun
After taking his charge as Director DEAL, Dehradun , how many days he stayed in Dehradun up to 31st March 2010
How many temporary duties to Bangalore he had been with total stay at Bangalore
How much in total TA/DA he has drawn year wise from his joining as Director, DEAL up to 31st March 2010.
Why I asked this Information
The information sought for is not related to end senior officer in his individual/personal capacity but in his capacity being a public authority.
Too frequent visit to a particular destination on Government expenses require to justify and as to how much it was beneficial to the organization and how much to the officer especially when he belongs to that particular destination. It appears that the permanent residence is his Hqrs and place of posting is a temporary duty station. The frequent move availability of the officer in the Hqrs. station may lead to problem of command and control and discipline, which may hamper the progress and led to undue delay and time and cost overrun to ongoing projects of DRDO.
In this particular case I requested the TD details of Dr. Prahlada, Appellate Authority, CC R&D (Ae & SI) & DS, who is staying C-7 Qutab Enclave, DRDO guest house since his posting to DRDO Hqrs, for him most of time he took his breakfast in his Hyderabad residence and lunch in DRDO Hqrs and evening for dinner he was again back to his Hyderabad residence. Please see his TD detail and then decide.
Second one is Shri RC Aggarwal, Director DEAL, Dehradun, since his posting he use to out from DEAL, Dehradun almost more than 250 days out of 365 days. How can the armed forces expect trustworthy products from these so called senior scientists?
There more 9-10 CC R&D and Directors who are belongs to Hyderabad and Bangalore and their families are staying Hyderabad and Bangalore respectively and they all are staying in DRDO guest houses they are giving their residence address in telephone directory at DRDO guest houses and enjoying HRA also. They are frequent fliers, they all are already break the Milkha Singh ‘s (Flying Sikh of India) records and relishing without fear with TD with poor tax payers money.
What I have received
(a) Visits of Dr. Prahlada on official duty during 2009 & 2010. Number of visits to Hyderabad – 22
(b) Total amount of TA/DA drawn – 4,11,900/-
(c) Visits made by Shri R C Aggarwal on official duty during 2007 to 2010. Number of visits — 26
Please find following response from our SFCIAN, DRDO Complex, Jagdalpur. Now it is establish that if you put voice in genuine matters then DRDO management can’t ignore it, beside the corrupt official sitting there in top like DOP, Dr Arun Kumar have to take decision as per Government laid down rules and on the basis of humanitarian ground.
So keep it up and raise your voice against corruption, nepotism and favouritism prevailing in DRDO by all means but same time consider the national security also.
The Government has allowed us to speak about corruption, so don’t fear to expose corruption because the corruption is eating our organization like termite. The friends from all DRDO labs sharing their problems of harassments, victims of favouritisms like in this time the DRDO lab Directors did a very much unconstitutional act. In A-Par they reduced the marks in some cases more than 10 marks and increased more 10 marks to their favourite ones. Here the question arises, that how come a lab Director judge minutely the work done by DRTC staff instead of his immediate boss who is leading the project. It is clear cut conspiracy or act of sabotaging the projects undergoing in DRDO.
In RTI anyone ask these anomalies but on the other side I want to inform all you that in DRDO, DRDC meeting it is decided that the RTI activities are to be suppressed and also suppress representation practices, in this year at the last moment DRTC result was revaluated as per new unwritten guidelines they cut those name who were involved in any RTI’s / representations.
In one case of IRDE, Dehradun, the chairman of assessment board did not like the body language of candidate and declared unfit for promotion. The question is that the DRDO authorities who made these retired DRDO officials as chairman on the basis to oblige them are well versed about the proceeding of board. Nowhere is written about body language, or what to wear. This kind of examples is lame excuses to hide their ugly acts.
Dear friends this forum invites to send your RTI’s even without exposing your names, the only restraint is that the matter should be correct and not for a vindictive aim. We, the team of www.corruptionindrdo.com, will take the issue up to highest authority.
sf complex, JAGDALPUR, DRDO (public money getting misused)outcomes of published MATTER IN CORRUPTION IN DRDO WEBSITE
We are very thankful to you sir, for published matter of corruption that going on in SF Complex, Jagdalpur dated between 21-07-2011 to 29-07-2011.
The major outcome of published matter as per our observations is as follows:
In that it was mentioned that GM’s (P.N.Tengli) favour scientist called tejasvi whenever he goes on TD to do GM’s personal Ph.D work he used to mention minimum 6-12 locations in single td.
observation:
WHEN THIS MATTER WAS PUBLISHED IN CORRUPTION IN DRDO WEBSITE,TEJASVI WAS IN TD FOR 12 LOCATIONS,BUT AS SOON AS IT AS PUBLISHED IN NET BOTH OF THEM GOT FEAR AND HE BREAK HIS TD IN HALFWAY & HE RETURENED BACK TO JAGDALPUR WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS BOTH ARE DOING REALLY MISCHIEF.
To purchase GM’s required items GM has kept tejasvi as cash purchasing officer for last 3year and continuing now also which is completely against Govt.Rules(it is allowed only max 6months as per rule).
observation:
WHEN THIS MATTER WAS PUBLISHED IN CORRUPTION IN DRDO WEBSITE, IMMEDIATELY GM MADE OFFICE ORDER THAT TEJASVI HAS RELIEVED FROM CASH PURCHASE WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS BOTH ARE DOINE REALLY MISCHIEF IN CASE PURCHASE.
GM is using hired luxury vehicle for daily travel to office of rental of RS.30, 000/- per month even though govt.allotted lalbadhi vehicle is available.
observation:
WHEN THIS MATTER WAS PUBLISHED IN CORRUPTION IN DRDO WEBSITE, IMMEDIATELY GM STARTED USING LALBADHI AGAIN WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS HE ACCEPTED HIS MISCHIEF.
WE ARE HAPPY THAT SOME CHANGE HAS BROUGHT UP BECAUSE OF PUBLISHEMENT IN YOUR WEBSITE.
BUT, WHAT & ALL THEY HAVE DONE MISCHIEF WITH GOVT.MONEY .i.e.,
a) DEPOSITING CASH PURCHASE ADVNCE MONEY IN THEIR PERSONAL ACCOUNT AND WHAT & ALL THEY EARNED BY CASH PURCHASE.
b) DONE THEIR PERSONAL WORKS (PH.D works) IN PUBLIC TAX MONEY.
c) MISUTILISATION OF CSD MONEY AS THEIR PERSONEL MONEY & utilisation of csd money FOR LADIES CLUB IN WHICH HIS CLOSE OFFICERS WIFE ONLY ARE MEMBERS.
d) MISUTILISATION OF GOVT.AWARDS BY BLUFFING GOVT. (BY MAKING FAKE DOCUMENTS) AND earning MONEY FROM THIS AWARD FOR THEIR PERSONEL BENEFITS WHERE REALLY DESERVED CANDIADATES ARE REALLY THERE.
e) There is a rule that temple should not be constructed in govt.land. But, the existing GM since,he is an hindu,he is constructing temple & in the name of temple construction he is collecting fund from vendors and contractors for which there is no accountability.
note: 1.what people other than hindu will go for prayer?
2. giving money to ravi sankar pandit sort of saints only for getting darshan of him for them only which is an csd public money?what rights they are having to give money to saint for their own darshan from public money!
f) threatening staffs that prohibition period will be increased if they are not listening to them and giving promotion to their favouring persons viloating eligible persons by holding hrd incharge post.
so,
WHAT IS THE ACCOUNTABLITY FOR ABOVESAID MISCHIEFS & CORRUPTION? LIKE THIS THEY HAVE TO APPRECEIATED TO BECOME KING OF CORRUPTIONS ?
(OR)
THEY HAVE TO BE PUNISHED?
WHETHER GOVT.WILL TAKE SOME ACTION AGAINST TEHM TO MAKE THEM ALLRIGHT?
(OR)
WHETHER DRDO WILL GROW IN THIS CORRUPTION ENVIRONEMENT FOR DEVELOPING DEFENSIVE PRODUCTS FOR NATIONAL PROTECTION?
IT IS BIG QUESTION?????????????
yes! Govt has to take necessary action for all above-said because
It is involved
Public tax money! Public tax money! Public tax money!
&
Hence,
Please save public money!

To 22th August 2011The Honorable Prime MinisterPMO, South BlockNew Delhi -110011
Subject: Grant of Extension of service of Scientists beyond the age of superannuation
Honorable Sir, Department of Personnel and Training O M No.26012/8/2011-Estt. (A) Dated the 16th May, 2011 stats that the laid down criteria for extension of service to the scientist should be in term of proviso to
i) FR 56 (d)
ii) Departmental Peer Review Committee (DPRCs) headed by the Secretary of the Scientific Departments are constituted by the DOP&T with the approval of Prime Minister for a term of 2 years to consider the cases of extension of service of scientists beyond 60 years and up to 62 years.
iii) Extension of service of eminent scientists of international stature
iv) Indicate whether this will block promotion opportunities of others in the Department
v) Will be processed further for approval of ACC through the office of the Establishment Officer
Sir, the above guidelines thoroughly overruled by DRDO establishment. When Dr APJ Kalam was granted extension of service he had the expertise and international recognition in his field (Missile Technology). Dr M Natrajan was granted extension on the basis of his work in MBT (Arjun Tank). Dr U R Rao, ISRO got extension because of his contribution in space technology.
DRDO, once Dr V K Atre became, SA to RM overruled the guidelines of DoPT provisions for extension. A new culture was established that is those scientists who were close to Dr Atre they were recommended for extension without justifying their contributions to science & technology. Afterwards the secretary of DRDO used this tool for those who are expert in misappropriation and manipulation of Government funds and misinterpretation of Government rules to their personal benefits.
These scientists nowhere stand as per guidelines of FR 56 (d) and you will find most of cases the scientists are involved totally in administrative job for years. Interestingly Secretary DRDO removed the required paras of Annexure FR 56 (d) where it states the justification why his service is needed and the details of contributions are thoroughly overruled.
Surprisingly, no one pointed these corrupt practices in the process of granting extension. Some applications which I have received by RTI from DoPT are enclosed for your ready reference. Which are the self explanatory, under the name of Defence research and under the shadow of official Secret Act 1923 and the bonafide possession of CCS Rules 1965 they have be-fooled the DoPT,PMO,ACC etc.
DRDO at an interval of every three months gives extension to at least 10-12 scientists, out of which not a single scientist deserve the recommendation as per guide lines of DoPT O M No.26012/8/2011-Estt. (A) Dated the 16th May, 2011 Normally DRDO Hqrs recommend extension to the (Service Provider) like Sh T Mohan Rao, Ex Director, GTRE (Massage Parlour Fame), DRDO recommend Dr S K Vasudeva of SPIC even beyond 64 years of age as he arranged the all cocktails parties + in 5* with help of CS Constructions etc and provide Mrs Kanimozhi‘s methods routing money through her daughter’s firm M/S M V- Grfix as IB already reported to PMO.
DRDO recommends the name of scientists/Directors who manage the misappropriation of funds of projects/ programs. As an example the case of Sh R C Aggarwal, Director, DEAL, Dehradun and Sh Iqbal Singh of IRDE, Dehradun Sh R C Aggarwal joined as Charge-man and become Director, DEAL as Scientist ‘G’ in 2007.
He has no international publications,No patents,No significant contribution in any projects at LRDE, NPOL, DLRL and DEAL where he was posted earlier
As a director he wrote an essay (cut paste copy technology) on Software Defined Radio and prepared a proposal for sanction having 60 sub contracts paras. This proposal opened up an avenue to distribute poor tax payer’s money. Rs 100 Crores sanctioned for SDR project and with few months he was promoted as Scientist ‘H’ and also got extension for two years and waiting Scientist for Director’s post Sh K N Rao of DEAL died with shock (Heart Attack).
Sh R C Aggarwal’s extension was recommended by Dr Arun Kumar, DOP, DRDO who was Scientist ‘E’ in 2001 when Sh R C Aggarwal was Scientist ‘F’. The DPRC which recommended Sh R C Aggarwal had a external member Dr P S Goel, Charman, RAC, whose contribution in ISRO as scientist is big zero, No international publications, No patents, only cut copy paste technology expertise.
Sh R C Aggarwal spent Rs 10 Lakh on TA/DA per year so he is able to contribute Rs 1.25 Lakhs per month in GPF account. As he is using Red beacon on his vehicle drawing Transport allowance using official driver in private car for fooling department.
Sh R C Aggarwal very bluntly says “the development of SDR will take 20 years time” and the PDC of SDR is 36 months.
Dr S C Jain who is enjoying extension but in the same time did not get the promotion to Scientist ‘H’, when he was not fit for promotion then how come he was recommended for extension in service, it can only happened in DRDO.
He has no international publications,No patents,No significant contribution in any projects at DEAL
But he is master in manipulation of government funds and misinterpretation of government rules in the interest of his boss. The reason he was benefited, was to get extension and job for his son who has fake qualification.
Sh Iqbal Singh Scientist ‘H’, IRDE, Dehradun got extension without justification of his scientific contribution.
He has no international publications,No patents,No significant contribution in any projects at IRDE
Only significant contribution is misappropriation of government funds, he gave orders to a firm where his son works
Dr S S Sundaram, Director, IRDE, Distinguished Scientist got extension for his golden achievement in project SAMYUKTA (Electronic Warfare), it is well known that Project SAMYUKTA started with Rs 250 Crores initial cost in May 1994 and when buried unceremoniously in 2006 it consumed Rs 6000 Crores of poor tax payer’s money.
Dr Arun Kumar, DOP, DRDO never did science and there is no question of scientific contribution. He is master in manipulation the governments rules and extend the path of favoritism to benefit DRDO’s top brasses wards. Appointment of his own daughter as scientist ‘B’ by violating all recruitment rules of DRDO. The enquiry is going on without any result like DRDO projects because the chairman of enquiry Dr Salwan, Ex DRDO scientist got Rs 80 Lakhs project with Rs 1 Lakh/month salary from Dr Arun Kumar itself.
The Honorable Prime Minister is requested to stop this criminal act of DRDO’s extension business, which they are recommending without justification. Please go through the recommended applications of DRDO scientists which I have received from DoPT through RTI.
Sir, this is the major reason of brain drain in DRDO because I am receiving lot of mails of ex DRDO young scientists from all over the world in my website www.corruptionindrdo.com, they share their experiences in this pathetic condition of DRDO.

3. It has now been decided with the approval of Prime Minister that the existing/reconstituted Departmental Peer Review Committee shall also do the first stage screening of Scientists for their extension beyond 62 years of age and thereafter the DPRCs’ recommendations will be placed before the Committee under the Cabinet Secretary provided that the DPRCs’ have at least two outside experts apart from Secretary (Personnel & Training). The DPRCs must give detailed justification for such extension based on merits of the case; the international stature of the person recommended and also indicates whether this will block promotion opportunities of others in the Department. Such recommendations of the DPRCs for extension of service of Scientists beyond 62 years will be sent of the Establishment Division of the Department of Personnel & Training for placing the cases before the Committee under Cabinet Secretary. Only such cases recommended by the Committee under Cabinet Secretary will be processed further for approval of ACC through the office of the Establishment Officer. Cases of extension of service of Scientists beyond 60 years and up to 62 years recommended by DPRC will continue to be sent directly to the office of Establishment Officer in DOP&T as at present.
4. All proposals for extension of service of Scientists beyond 62 years in terms of the 3rd proviso to FR 56(d) may, therefore, be processed keeping in view the above guidelines in addition to the criteria stipulated in the OM dated 9.12.2010.

Honorable Sir, The mood of country man from village to industry, to Government agency has taken in one line- fight against corruption.
The patriotism has come out and the nuisance mongers are still denying the facts. They have no courage to face the real scenario. In DRDO a practice has been followed for a quite some time that DRDO must have a big programs without the feasibility study and without the realizing the strength and weakness. A 100 crores was sanctioned to DEAL, Dehradun to develop Software Defined Radio (SDR), but the truth behind the green room is the laboratory has not developed a single frequency radio on its own and when they are talking to develop SDR it appears a big crime.
The knowledgeable team with in the country who has knowledge about radio they have not contacted prior to conceive the proposal of “SDR”. One such reaction of a patriot and technocrat is enclosed.
This reaction is result of the open tender floated by DEAL, Dehradun’ SDR’s team. Tender: DEAL/206/4043/2011-2012/D100/074 Dated: 09, Aug 2011, Opening Date: 27, Sep 2011 tender for Development of SCA Core Framework.
The expert feels that specification have been laid down by a person who does not know a bit of radio.
The file has initiated with the estimated cost of Rs 6 Crores with a delivery period as mentioned in tender is not later than 82 weeks from the date of signing of contract. It is interesting to note that the PDC of SDR project is July 2013 and this assignment of Development of SCA Core Framework definitely going to cross the PDC limit of the SDR.
The sources said that the estimated cost is exorbitantly high and Malafide intension and misappropriation of government money is clearly visible. The tender directly or indirectly will go to hand of M/s Spectrum Signal Processing BC Canada
This is for the information of ugly act of Sh R C Aggarwal, Director, (extension) DEAL, Dehradun.
Note – This 100 Crores project encourage him to increase GPF subscription upto 1.25 Lakh per month, hope this input will compel you to think twice for DRDO corrupt bosses.
Enclose – E-mail of a Technocrat regarding SDR Project
Dear sir, I have gone to yr site. It is really interesting to see how these govt departments are working for the benefit of our beloved country. See I have enclosed one tender fr one of labs of drdo . I hav had a bitter experience with them in the past. They do not know anything but pretend that they r all experts. This tender documents clearly shows that they r not only trying to get a partner for developing their project and that too at their own interest. They do not know a bit about radios forget software radios. How goverment has sanctioned them this project when there under-statement in the tender clearly shows that they hardly know the software architecture of the their would-be-radio.yet They r all set to review the work of tenderer. They will try to get it done for themselves and yet not share the IPR and Copyrights. Finally they will get it procured from somewhere and put their stickers on it and claim that it is theirs. I have come to know from our principals in US they (MOD) have already STUCK A DEAL with a Company for supply of items for three service and the project is only to fill the gaps. The persons in DEAL have hardly any experience in writing codes and data how they r going to evaluate from others. Perhaps they will get to learn a lot from the DP. Sir pl give this tender wider publicity because it is only a farce. They get all the information from you and will abort the contract later on. Beware all tenderers! they r all fraud and corrupt people.
Keep doing good work sir,
Warm regards

Recently the nation celebrated the birthday of father of nation, people called him Bapu, the warrior without gun or proper uniform known as Mahatma Gandhi.
Hope while sitting in your office you will remember him for his simplicity and able leadership. He becomes idol for poor’s not for those who are getting salary! lakh+ and delivering nothing.
The officer comes from diverse background one thing is common i.e. ego. Mahatma Gandhi buried his ego but the ego become symbol of prosperity, people having poor background and origin to a remote village if by chance they become Scientists/Officer in DRDO revived the British Culture.
A poor man son belonging to a remote place of UP, when became director, DEAL, DRDO revived the British Raj Culture in DEAL, Dehradun, since November 2007. In a journey from charge man to director, he noticed the status of serving directors in DRDO and accumulated all the negative qualities and always thought getting opportunity one day he will realize it in principle.
Currently 12-16 conservancy staff headed by a Technical Officer Sh Rajiv Verma reaches to his residence in the morning 6’ocloak to say good morning Sir. They spent the day in cleaning of utensil, to clothes, to dig the field, growing the vegetables, but their salaries being paid by poor tax payers money. The corridors of DEAL premises are full of foul smells, they are not cleaned but the cleaning and kitchen garden of director’s residence has become the talk of town.
The same conservancy people/daily wages laborer who were suppose to get EPF benefit are deprived off due to the ignorance shown by Sh RC Aggarwal because the beneficiaries are agarwal brothers (The contractor, Sh Hemant Gupta, HMM etc) When a senior responsible officer objected for this practice of ignoring EPF clause 9 The fundamental rights of the laborer it remain unheeded.
There are many things going on in DEAL which can be compared with British Raj Period. Britishers ignore the Indians because they were outsiders, but here the exploiters are our own brothers.
The size of his ego has even hurt the SA to RM (as CC & coordinator), the PMO project SPIC wanted communication assistance from then director DEAL & it was extended but Sh RC Agarwal wanted to show his supremacy to director, SPIC, withdrew the support until you discussed with him personally at development enclave. (Hope you remember the episode)
Ignorance of important national deference program NVIS, you have already noticed.
I hope next time when you visit DEAL you will be offered genetically clean, organic vegetables from directors residence. Please do not forget the precious vegetable gift from Sh RC Agarwal.
In DEAL Dehradun Dr A S Bains was Director the common slogan of DEAL was “Singh is King – Singh is King – Singh is King”. Sh Ashok Sen become Director in 2004 the DEAL’s slogan was “Tumi Khabo, Aami Khabo, Baki Bacha Sab Khabo” and when Sh R C Aggarwal took charge as Director, DEAL in Nov 2007 now the DEAL’s slogan is “Main Bhi Lala, Tu Bhi Lala, Baki Sab Jhinga La La”
I hope you will enjoy and do something to motivate the young scientists otherwise they will accept the prevailing truth and civilized society will convert into Jungle-Raj. The animals in jungle they love their own caste and creed. A Lion respects a Lion, a Tiger respects a Tiger, a Jackal respects a Jackal and a Jackal even after getting the color of a Lion does not roar like Lion.

Two special PARA of report is
The recommendation of the TPC was approved by Director and the statement of case was prepared for obtaining sanction for approval of purchase from competetent authority i.e SA to RM as in case of single tender the financial competence of Director of Lab is restricted to Rs 1 Lakh. The statement of case put up DRDO under the signature of Dr.AS Bains and Dr.KD Nayak dt 7th Oct 1997 sate that the requirement of………
The deal for the purchase was approved by the then SA to RM Dr.APJ Abul Kalam. However the only bone of connection is fact that when the supplier asked for change of nomenclature and replacing the word down convertor with integrated circuit, Dr AS Bains, director of the lab had approved of the TPC recommendation and have not referred this matter of change of nomenclature to SA to RM as the deal was approved by him. However, comment to mention that as per scientist of SSPL the down convertor is very specialized integrated circuit. The act of Dr.AS Bains in approving the change of nomenclature and not referring to DRDO Hqrs is not justified.
May I ask you a question?
As a whistle blower I was the one who reported the criminal act being done by close associate
of then SA to RM, Dr VK Atre, even the SA to RM was kept in dark.
Then why I was made victim?
Why the criminals got outstanding promotions and freed scot free?
The entire team of so called scientists who were engaged in this criminal act were received the patronage of the successive SA to RM.Like Dr.KD Nayak who had in his kitty several engagements financial irregularities in number of project/procurement when he was in DEAL. With this biodata Dr.Atre, Dr Natrajan and Dr Saraswat all gave protection to him.
Which was a crime?
Encouragement in financial irregularities, which is directly responsible for the failure of DRDO output.
Or
I as whistle blower did a mistake.
Please convinced me DRDO has given me penalty or reward.
