COMPLAINT AGAINST RECRUITMENT OF LABORATORY SUPERINTENDENT (ESTATE EXECUTIVE) AT DIAT (DU), GIRINAGAR, PUNE VIDE ADVERTISEMENT NO 02/2014 AND SCIENTIFIC OFFICER IN 2013

Dear Sir,

I, the above named ex-serviceman, retired from Indian Army,(Qualification of, Diploma in Civil Engineering ,  BE Civil & Post Graduate in Construction Management),  would like to submit the following facts regarding manipulation and corruption in recruitment processes going on in DIAT, Girinagar, Pune :-

  • DIAT(DU, Girinagar, Pune, published vacancy for the post of, Registrar, Scientific Officer and Superintendent in Apr 2013 and I applied for Scientific Officer, as my qualification and experience meeting their essential and preferential qualification.
  • In mid of year 2013 they also published for a post of Estate Manager, later amended to Estate Consultant, on contract basis with lump sum payment of Rs 31,000/pm. I appeared for this post and was selected with joining date 06 Sep 2013. When I submitted my resignation to my present company, but my resignation was not accepted, which I intimated to DIAT well in advance.
  • Again DIAT conducted a walk-in-interview for Estate Consultant but they did not get suitable candidate in interview in the month of Oct-Nov 13. When they didn’t get candidate, I was contacted in the moth of Dec 2013 by Registrar saying to meet him personally in the office.  When I came, I was given a promise  ”If I will join as Estate Consultant, they will select me for SO post, for which I applied, which is a permanent job with basic pay of 9300 and grade pay of Rs 5400/-), (as discussed in para1 above)”. I agreed happily and promised them to Join DIAT on 03 Jan 2014.  As I was promised for a permanent job by top official of DIAT(DU) in basic pay of 9300 with 5400 grade pay,  I forcefully got resignation from my present employer by giving up my one month salary about 75000/ (as I did not given them notice period of one month).  But during joining I was mentally tortured by Mr AnantSubramaniam, Dy Registrar (Admin) for reason best known to him at that time in the name of documentation etc.  But any how I joined DIAT on 13 Jan 2014.  Later it was revealed that the reason for tortured by Anant sir was that the advertised post of Scientific Officers was already fixed for his candidate Mr SD Adilinge, who was later selected also, not only selected but his basic pay was increased from 9300 to 15600/- rewarding him being candidate of Dy Registrar (Admin) and ex-Navy, Registrar is also ex-navy,  Sir my question is that if this post was for Rs 15600 basic pay(Class I Officer),  why it was not published in advertisement.  This is nothing but way ofhelping their own candidate by keeping higher office in dark/conceding facts.
  • In between my duty in EWO, a case was initiated for Qtr No P 325/3, new multi-storeyed building (occupant Mr Ramesh A Jahangirdar, Finance Officer, DIAT). This quarter was from MILIT pool and MILIT as well as EMU was pressing hard to vacate the qtr. As quarter was in excellent condition Mr FO was not in mood to vacate the same.    In correspondence process with MILIT, several time FO asked me for all connected files of that quarter from board stage to till date, but I refused to give them without consent of my boss Mr HN Sahu, EWO.  At that very time I was threatened by FO that he will damage my career when time come. I did not care and kept doing my duty sincerely.
  • In the month of February 2014 list of shortlisted candidates for interview(only two or three candidates) for SO was out but my name was not there. When I asked them, as I was already working there), they raised question of my experience and grade pay which I shown them through MES Regulation and my PPO, I retired from grade pay of 4600/-. As stated earlier also, Anant Sir never wanted me to be called for interview as I was having better qualification and experience than his candidate Mr Adlinge.But finally my candidature was not considered for interview and I got frustrated as I joined DIAT on pretext of this job only and not for Estate Consultant which was a temporary job with mere payment of Rs 31000/-pm, by leaving 75000/- PM from my previous company.  Seeing  corrupt recruitment process of DIAT, I put up resignation giving one week notice as per agreement made.  My resignation was accepted by then Hon’ble VC, Mr Prahlada. I discontinued my service from DIAT.
  • When I did not go to office after resignation, I was called several times by Registrar sir from his landline phone and mobile phone, but I did not respond to the call. Finally my wife attended the phone and was told to send me to office to meet him personally (Registrar sir).  I went there and met him too and expressed my anguish. But finally I was convinced and told that a new post called Lab Superintendent (Estate Executive) will be created and will be given to me.  But I had no faith in their false promises, as I already resigned from my previous company and resigned from DIAT too making me un-employed,so I decided to continue in DIAT till I get a new job in outside Construction Company.  I kept on searching out side job from my old friend circle while doing duty at DIAT and got job in Apr 2014 and thereafter I put my resignation from DIAT and came out with effect from 15 May 2014.
  • But keeping DIATtheir promise alive they published one vacancy vide by advertisement No 02/14 for Laboratory Superintendent (Estate Executive) in pay scale ofRs 9300 and grade pay 4200 which I also applied.This post has requirement of experience grade pay of 2800/- Luckily this timeI was called for written test and interview on 05 Dec 2014. But when I was in interview I was surprised to see the candidates who were called for interview were not having basic requirements of advertisement like grade pay of 2800/- and experience and some were fresher too, but were called for interview. If so is the process then why it wasnot followed for selecting SO earlier, the reason is very clear if I would have been called for interview their candidate Mr SD Adilinge, who is also from Ex-Navy (also Registrar sir is from Navy) would have not been selected because selection team for SO was from outside DIAT.
  • Generally DIAT give result for selected candidates(if the candidate is of their choice) within maximum 1-2 days(as was done for SO) but for Lab Supdt no result has been published so far. On enquiry un-official it has come to notice that Finance Officer Mr Ramesh A Jahagirdar, also member of governing body, has raised objection that I am not fulfilling requirement of computer qualification. If it was so, then why I was called for interview. Actual ground fact is something different “As FO seen my name in selected list, he raised illogical objection of computer knowledge.  If a candidate is Diploma in civil, BE in civil  and Post Graduate,  and experience of 22 years and MES as JE (Civil) where separate subject of computer is there(in all three degrees) with ‘C’ C+ languages.  How these petty things can yield to rejection of selected candidate in written and interview in spite of having better computer qualification than required and has also worked for same post in DIAT.
  • Sir, Finance Officer, DIAT, is so annoyed to me that he compelled DIAT administration to re-advertise same vacancy, without giving information of previous recruitment of the post,and kept this post in reserve category of OBC so that even I cannot apply for the post. Sir how previous advertisement of general category has become this time in reserve category of OBC. Ref advertisement of Lab Superintendent published vide DIAT advertisement No 03/2015.
  • Sir I would like to bring following facts into your notice about the recruitment process in DIAT, Girinagar :-
  • No selection in DIAT is fair and un-biased.
  • No defined and firm recruitment policy exists in Institute which are changed according to the stature of the reference officer of DIAT.
  • Vacancy is advertisedonly based on either recommendationfrom DIAT or some other intention not on actual requirement of the Institute.
  • Only those candidates are selected against vacancy which has strong recommendation or great influence in the big post staff of institute.
  • Candidates are being black mailed by giving hope for job.
  • There is big nexus between some selected officialsof the Institute.
  • Sir, though I worked in DIAT for merely 4.5 months but what I seen there is that single quoted tender of Rs 5 crore in 2014 in the name of “Data centre in Mechanical engineering dept”, where already centralised Data centre is functioning, was accepted.  Which is entirely against the rules of Indian Contract Act 1872, as I have also prepared and accepted contract independently in CWE Udhampur for 3 years when was in MES.  They not only accepted single tender but each item was overpriced, and entire running 11 split AC of 1.5ton capacity of the room was removed and thrown to scrap and replaced with new one.    This is nothing but wastage of public money.

In view of the above, I would like your intervention in recruitment and functioning process of DIAT so that no eligible candidates like me are rejected from selected list due to personal interests of some maligned officers of institute.  I think it will be great help if recruitment power of the institute is ceased and a proper enquiry is set to check the process adopted for selection of entire posts since 2013. The power of recruitment must be given to professional recruitment agency like CEPTAM or SSC.

In hope of proper enquiry and stringent action against the defaulter,

Your’s faithfully,

Dileep Kumar

Corruption in DRDO

 

 

IGNOU has no authority to recognize regular colleges, rules HC

PTI : New Delhi, Tue Jul 23 2013, 20:17 hrs – The Indian Express
In a significant verdict, the Delhi High Court today ruled that Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has no “legal authority” either to set up or accord recognition to an institution or college to impart “face-to-face” regular education. IGNOU, set up in 1985 to promote distance education, was dragged to court by various institutions, including Hindustan Aviation Academy, which were first allowed by the University to run B Tech and Diploma programme courses in the area of Aerospace Engineering. However, IGNOU later noticed that its approval to run “face-to-face” programme did not not meet legal requirements and asked the approved institutes to keep the admission process at abeyance.

IGNOU also noticed that the necessary prior approval from AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) for running such courses was also not taken. Disposing of a bunch of petitions of institutions, Justice V K Jain said, “(since) IGNOU had no legal authority to set up or recognise institutions/colleges on the lines of regular colleges where education is imparted by way of face-to-face programmes, requiring students to mandatorily attend classes, the petitioners’ institutes cannot be said to be institutions, constituent colleges, units or affiliated colleges of IGNOU, nor can they be said the ‘study centres’ within the meaning of the IGNOU Act.”

The court also rapped IGNOU for not informing students about its decision to suspend admission for academic years 2012-13. It also said that the university also did not follow the principles of natural justice while restraining institutes from taking admissions as no show cause notice was served on them in this regard. The court, in its 37-page judgement, said, “The respondent university is clearly guilty of gross negligence and inaction. No attempt was taken by it to ensure that students who in the absence of public notice from the university, could not be expected to be aware of its decision to suspend admission for the academic years 2012-13, did not pay fees to petitioners’ institutes and did not take admission.”

Rajat’s Comment

Rajat Submitted on 2011/08/20 at 7:56 am

Thank you for your all efforts you have put and we all hope that you will keep going like this. Its very well known that higher officials of DRDO are not as they appears but its not good to criticize every scientist, still there are lot of scientist who might be struggling against the system , there must be good dedicated higher officials who are working hard enough for results. Everyone must also read the story of LCA development, how many hours daily they have worked, their sacrifices and what they are getting in return, peanuts. Though this doesn’t justify the corruption in any way and corruption must be eradicated. Like LCA there are many other achievements of DRDO which cant be overlooked and were almost very difficult to achieve. But everything starts from HR policy of DRDO, HR Management of DRDO which need to changed on priority. Everything starts from the promotion policy since the intention with which performance bound performance system was introduced is not being served and senior use it as a weapon to harass junior employee and scientists. It has more side effects than effects, many scientists are here who are working hard but when it comes to promotion either not are given call or they are not able to get through interview for promotion, but it has nothing to do with their talent because they are victim of wrong management. Headquarter tries to settle things properly but at laboratory level everything is changed as per their will so that juniors wouldn’t dare against them or if they , wont get succeed in future after all who can challenge interview process(no recording). If its corrected more corruption matter will come into light , system will be more transparent and competent. Who knows better than you , being a victim you can sense more precisely and clearly everything. Every year there must be recording of interview and there shouldn’t be any known members or representative of laboratory, they motives can be served with instruction to interview panel. Or frustration will keep heaping until it burst. In many laboratory Canteen items are sold to non eligible private workers, isn’t cheating with Govt. Relation of employees with each other is also reflection of favoritism. Junior employees can be seen insulting senior as they are favorites of higher scientist or Director, Admin officer and their behavior with other employees or staff there are countless examples which need to be stated, a lot of changes are required but with your start it seems possible but i personally feel sometimes you are driven with personal emotions and that makes your efforts less effective.
Among all the available cases you certainly will find few selected persons in all the laboratory and their selected one indulge in it but whole system cant be blamed.
As far as North Korea is concerned its also well known that it is supported by China and pakistan. Pakistan exchanged nuclear technology with North Korea in exchange with missile technology while China is looking for bigger cause , its international politics. But in any way India is not inferior to North Korea , its ridiculous statement, by saying so you are insulting countless nights scientist are staff have spent working extra for country, you are underestimating efforts put for achieving higher goals country have set. At what time western countries started their efforts for defense technology and when did we start speaks of untiring will of our scientists whether ISRO, or DRDO. These technologies are not freely available in market, you may have money but no will sell you. Everything has to be start with scratches so its my request to you consider it also while commenting. Your intentions are sacred but sometime coming off differently and such deviations can be overlooked. We should take care of not giving wrong impression of our scientists because respect and dignity is something which is asked in returns otherwise nobody mention ever HOW MANY IIT’ian OR OTHER ELITE SCHOLARS ARE SERVING DIRECTLY OUR COUNTRY, EVERYONE KNOW , EVERYONE TRIES TO GO ABROAD, SETTLE THEIR OR WORKING WITH MNC FOR HIGHER SALARIES , AND BURDEN OF EXPECTATION IS ALWAYS ON DRDO, ISRO, OTHER SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION. SALARIES OF OTHER PERSONS WORKING ON SAME TECHNOLOGY OUR SCIENTISTS ARE WORKING IS MANY FOLD HIGHER.

Dear Rajat

Thank you for your sincere and fruitful comment. In fact this topic should be debated that “A establishment which got birth in 1958 and witnessed the successive war of 1962, 1965, 1971 and 1999 Kargil War. Why became so insensitive to the national defence.”

Just after Kargil War when media questioned the Chairman ISRO for the failure in electronic surveillance, the quick reply from Dr Kasturiragan was  ISRO is not responsible for our border surveillance, DRDO is actively engaged with defence activities, they can better reply on this issue. When same question was asked to Scientific Adviser to RM he said that for surveillance of border we need a military satellite.

Rajat you asked yourself after 64 years of independence and lakhs of crores  of investment on ISRO & DRDO the 120 crores people has to hear such statement, shame on us.

Even if we had taken up a firm decision after 1999 Kargil War probably India would have moved ahead in border surveillance by now.

Recently on discovery channel the details of the planning of attack at Abbottabad , Pakistan was revealed by American Mariners.  A team of US navy seals was selected in 2001 just after OSAMA BIN LADEN survived from missile attack in Sudan on 20th August 1998.

The team was authorized to use any resources but as top   secret mission. They have to develop

(i)                  A Stealth Helicopter
(ii)                Sound proofing of engine
(iii)               Only thermal sensing while move
(iv)              To assess lip movement behind the wall
(v)                Count the member through thermal sensing behind the fore wall & many more gadgets for self protection.

Dear Rajat the world saw that in 10 years time the dedicated man power were able to identified the target and accomplish the task and the complete   operation was shown live in White House.

Such scientific venture needs

(i)                  Accountability (Self)
(ii)                Dedication
(iii)               Honor the commitments
(iv)              Resource mobilizations

These four points are completely missing in DRDO. The talent is available in plenty in DRDO but in top brasses the vision totally detours, they are engaged in minting money in all means. The extension business, procurement routing via their near & dears, discourage those scientist who want to contribute on project indigenous means. I have ton of tons informations on DRDO today’s scenario, the intelligence agencies, enforcement agencies, bureaucrats are helpless to control these intellectual mafias, because they easily fool the politicians. They draw a rosy picture in front of defence committees and every time they use different arrows to justify the failures.

Now days DRDO’s for their exorbitant expenditure for any infrastructure justifies comment is due to “denial regimes”

In DRDO directors is like  and protected by unforeseen forces from the top. The square root is like protection. A director bluntly says that occupying this chair is something different then possessing mere degree.

The fresh IIT products are reporting to ITI/Diploma with fake IETE (unrecognized distance education centers) / IETE graduates scientists. The difference in these scientists that IIT’ ians never compete them in assessment (because in DRDO assessment system the degree and scientific work is negligible, if you took any list of DRDO/DRTC assessment you will find the success rate of those scientists who are engaged in sundry work like administration, security, MTO, Store procurement and other non scientific work) are higher than those who are working in projects/ programs. Therefore they crushed the knowledge and ruin the scope of scientific development.

Yes there are many honest and qualified scientist but they have compromise with present scenario of DRDO.

A debate on this subject is requested from the reader

Thanking you

Regards
