You informed that “it is stated that the cases for grant of RTI Cell, DRDO Hqrs Incentive are received from respective Labs/Estt in which it is certified that the higher qualifications and the institute are approved by the competent authority. On receipt of such confirmation, the cases are submitted to Ministry of Defence who process each and every cases and issue sanction for grant of Lump Sum Incentives after getting concurrence of the Integrated Finance. However, in case of any doubt regarding verification/ reorganization, the same is thoroughly examined before issuing the sanction. It is also stated here that the lump sum incentive is only one time to promote higher qualification among employees.”

  1. Provide me the certified copy of DOP/DHRD file noting or letter in which they provide you above said information.

Note : Matter is directly related to corruption and not exempted under Section 24 (1), as you can verify this with letter of Director of Personal vide letter No DOP/01/03500/Lump sum/M01 dated March 2014 to all Director Lab/Estt/ Dte in Hq dated 11 March 2014 in Para – 1, line- 9 states that “Of late it has been notice that in most of the cases are taken up acquiring higher qualification, recognition of various courses and universities/ institutes by Competent Authority is not verified/ authenticated by Labs prior to sanction of permission.

DRDO Recruit 500 Scientists this financial year 2014

Joint Secretary (Pers), Department of Expenditure,

Subject: DRDO recruit 500 scientists this financial year 2014

The news was published in Times of India “DRDO to recruit 500 more scientists this year” – Vishwas Kothari, TNN Jan 8, 2014,

Directorate of HRD, DRDO vide their letter no DHRD/77001/C/M/010 dated 22 August 2012 conveyed to all Lab Directors/Establishment that the Government for Sanction of additional scientist posts to meet only the immediate and unavoidable critical requirements against the ongoing projects/progarammes as per the advice of Ministry of Finance.

The Lab Directors are therefore to submit scientists’ requirement as per enclosed   “Appendix ‘A’ “

How the government has been fooled and the poor tax payers money is being misused can be observed by “Appendix ‘A’ “, deployment of scientists (DRDS personals)

The Performa “Appendix ‘A’ stats the scientists requirement as under:-

  1. PROJECT/PROGRAMME WISE
  2. NON-PROJECT WISE (TECHNICAL JOBS)
  3. ESTABLISHMENT ACTIVITIES

Two third of scientists are needed for

 dhrd table1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All these above activity is earlier in DRDO doing by admin allied cadres which were duly approved and sanctioned by Government of India, and come through UPSC recruitment system, but unfortunately in the last week of December 2010 DRDO director’s conclave some directors raised voice against the admin allied officials quoting that  they are creating hurdles by pin pointing the Government orders. The DRDO directors want to run their own rules and they very much sure that the big boundary walls of their territory can stop their all illegal acts in the name of secrecy.  So it was decided in year 2010 itself that they will remove admin allied cadre phase wise.

If you examine the current scenario of each DRDO lab will find everywhere 30 – 40 % scientists are engaged in above mentioned assignment.

The best part of this these scientists who are engaged in admin allied task are enjoying all special perks and allowances which are given specially to scientists in VI pay commissions and also  getting fast promotions in respect of those scientists who are devotedly working in projects/ programs. It is because of their proximity with top management of DRDO.

Due to this incompetency is growing very fast in DRDO. This has resulted into large number of litigation due to incompetent scientists handling the administration and HR activities.

The current ongoing example the grade pay 4800 was inducted without taking proper sanction from Min of Finance and hundreds of effected employees filed case in CAT.

There lot of complaints registered by CVC/CVO MoD in respect of recruitment procedures  were manipulated several times by these incompetent scientists who were looking HRD/Administrations and resulted Sh A K Anthony, Defence Minister recommended a CBI inquiry against 10 top DRDO officials on 29th October 2013.

Major setback is that by implementing this practice of using scientist for sundry task the real scientist losing their interest in work and most of the time either leave the organization or sit idle.

So all these fabricated demand of DRDO may please be thoroughly examined with their time bound impact.

Finance Ministry requested to send their rep to meet admin/ allied officials of DRDO before sanctioning the post of scientist.

Finance Ministry must examine the DO part orders of all respective 52 Labs of DRDO, which will be best way to verification of utilization of scientific / technical manpower of DRDO.

DRDO to recruit 500 more scientists this year

Vishwas Kothari, TNN, Jan 8, 2014, 03.24AM IST

PUNE: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) plans to recruit 500 additional scientists this year to meet its workforce requirement across different levels and projects.

“Our present recruitment is focused on filling vacancies that arise from retirements and resignations. However, considering the kind of projects we have been working on, we have moved a proposal with the Union government for an additional recruitment of 500 scientists,” DRDO’s human resources (HR) chief Malakondaiah said on Tuesday. “The government had asked us to file the proposal projecting our need,” he added.

The collective cost of DRDO’s ongoing projects, including Aakash missile, light combat aircraft ‘Tejas’ and Brahmos missile, is worth Rs 1.6 lakh crore. The organisation has close to 7,500 scientists as part of its existing force, he said.

Malakondaiah, who is chief controller of research and development (HR), was in the city to address the valedictory function of the 71-member ‘batch-18’ of the Post Induction Training School (POINTS) at the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT), a deemed university under the DRDO in Girinagar here.

Started in March 2003, POINTS is an initiative to impart integrated training to newly inducted scientists in the beginning of their career in DRDO laboratories and projects. So far, the school has trained 3,394 scientists from 17 batches and the 18th batch was the first of its kind, comprising graduates and postgraduates only from the Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science and DIAT.

Malakondaiah said, “Unlike conventional industries like information technology, DRDO is facing an almost negligible rate of attrition vis-a-vis resignations, which contributes barely one per cent of the arising vacancies. This is due to the fact that the Sixth Pay Commission has vastly reduced the gap in the pay scales offered by DRDO and private corporate bodies. This has also helped the organisation to attract and retain young scientific talent emerging from the IITs and IISc.” The additional recruitments will go a long way in resolving some of the issues related to the shortfall of workforce in projects across DRDO, he added.

Meanwhile, POINTS programme director Ajay Misra gave an overview about the training activities at the valedictory session, while DIAT vice-chancellor Prahlada addressed the young scientists. Deputy director D Srikanth was also present.

Open Appeal –Save DRDO: Dr Saraswat and Dr Avinash

2 Comments

All of us pained by various letters and RTI proofs appearing on Internet about Corruption & Nepotism about DRDO. We are more pained that you both are keeping silent and no visible actions are being taken. The Villain (Selwamurthy) of DRDO is enjoying and he pushing his people on all fronts to destabilize and embarrass you. One fine example is Varshney who is controlling your office and passing minutely details to his Real BOSS-Selwamurthy.

The material appearing on Internet, may be some of them incorrect and exaggerated, but has created unrest in DRDO- Some are enjoying, some are pained and some, particularly younger lot, confused and feeling betrayed.

A special appeal to both, spare your 48 hours on some of the critical and burning issues and decide and give positive signal to all of us that you are impartial and truly committed towards growth of DRDO in a healthy manner. Don’t involve The Villain for this, he will only misguide you, we recognize both of you as our true guide and have confidence that you will take corrective actions which are visible across all section of DRDO. We all are waiting for ACTIONS and send us POSITIVE energy by your Impartial actions.. YOU ARE DUTY BOUND TO TAKE ACTIONS IMPARTIALLY.

Some of burning issues and suggestions are

  1. NO MORE EXTENSIONS, except very deserving cases, not more than 2 to 3 per 6 month cycle. Extension is equal to death sentence, which is given on rarest of rare cases by our courts. Extension should be also based on principle of rarest of rare cases. If extension given to CV&E, LS, CEPTAM, it will be major joke on DRDO.
  2. Review all extension cases already given, Act as Supreme court and commute certain cases of death sentence. Retire some of tainted and wrongly extension cases like of Selwamurthy, Mohan Rao, Arun Kumar, Jain, Agarwal RC, Narendra Kumar, and similar cases.
  3. You have given charge of HR to very competent Chief Controller. But his Directors are still aligned to Pseudo-HR controller. Do complete overhauling of HR & DOP, it will correct many wrongs of Selwamurthy and his Chamchas who have destroyed basic fiber of DRDO. Let them keep making Mosquito repellent and Chapattis. Implement policy of change of DOP, RAC,DHRD, CEPTAM every 2 year and don’t just rotate them.
  4. International Cooperation Controller should be person who had collaborated with different countries in his younger and middle carrier. A yoga teacher is just unfit for this job and using this as platform for self image enhancement.
  5. Dr PS Goel should not be given Extension; the HARD fact is that he is only responsible for bringing moral of all scientists to deep sea low level.
  6. Grass root level interaction of SA with middle and younger lot in different zones, on at least quarterly based. It will bring a Sea change if all are given free environment to discuss with their family head.
  7. Accountability of Directors and Chief Controllers should be more aggressive and transparent. They should be answerable to all wrong done in their areas, including poor result in respect of deserving scientists in assessment due to non projection of their achievement in right manner.

WE ARE WAITING_PLEASE ACT FAST

By- Honest and Well-Wishers of DRDO
