Subject: Dadagiri of DRDO Lab Director – DMSRDE, DRDO Kanpur

Sir,

Please find enclose the two audio file which website received as extraordinary example of Dadgiri of DRDO Lab Director.

On 29^th May 2015 the eve of retirement of 5 DMSRDE officials, Dr A K Saxena arrogantly announced that he only deliberately transferred scientists because he felt that they were working against DMSRDE.

He also proclaimed that 4 CAT cases & 4 High Court cases, PIL, Allahabad managed by him and confident that PIL at Delhi High court will also be managed.

At last he roared that he also identify few officials of DMSDRE who are in his RADAR, their carrier will be finished before his retirement.

Here is great example of so called prestigious DRDO organization, no one in country believe that highly literate are behaving in tapori style and threatening “कुछ को निकाल दिया है और जो बाकी बचे हैं उनको भी निकाल दूंगा समय बहुत कम है (डॉ सक्सेना 31 जुलाई को रिटायर हो रहे है) पर ऐसा कर जाऊंगा कि जब कभी भविष्य में जब कभी सोचेगें कि किसी से पाला पड़ा था उनके करियर को इतना क्षति पहुंचेगी कि वो जानेंगे जिंदिगी भर”

Sir, we know you have lot of responsibilities of defence, whenever you have time to look DRDO please take care adventures of DRDO lab directors, like DMSRDE, Kanpur Director, Dr A K Saxena’s fully evident corruptions with dadagiri, R&D Eng, Pune, Director, Dr. Gurumurthy, Silver Chariot and Sh Muthuraja, Sc E vindictive malafide transfer, DIPAS, Delhi, Director, Dr Shashi bala’s endless cases, Dr Gauasl Khan, Sc D malafide intention Charge sheet, Dr. S Majumadar, Sc G, Mysterious fabricated sexual harassment case, now Senior women scientists problems are in your table.

Please also look the use of project vehicles putting red beacon is also dadagiri symbol of most of DG & Lab directors of DRDO, specially Dr K Tamilmani & ADE Director, Sh P Srikumar

SUBJECT : CORRUPTION IN CONSTRUCTION & INSTALLATION OF “NATURALLY VENTILATED GREEN HOUSE WITH MULTILAYERED POLY CARBONATE SHEET” AT DRL, TEZPUR BY DR. RKR SINGH, TECHNICAL OFFICER ‘C’ AND DR. VIJAY VEER, DIRECTOR, DEFENCE RESEARCH LABORATORY(DRL), TEZPUR UNDER DRDO, MINISTRY OF DEFENCE

Sir,

Following facts regarding corruption and irregularities in construction of “Naturally Ventilated Green House With Multilayered Poly Carbonate Sheet” at DRL, Tezpur by Dr. RKR Singh, Technical Officer ‘C’ AND Dr. Vijay Veer, Director, Defence Research Laboratory, Tezpur is submitting for your investigation and appropriate action.

Defence Research Laboratory (DRL), Tezpur (Assam) is an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Ministry of Defence.
Vijay Veer, Scientist ‘G’ is Director, DRL, Tezpur with effect from 01 March 2012 to till date and he is superannuating on 31 December 2015.
RKR Singh, Technical Officer ‘C’ is posted at DRL, Tezpur since more than 20 years in DRL, Tezpur. He is Head of High Altitude Agriculture Division at DRL, Tezpur.
A project with details submitted below was sanctioned by competent authority at DRDO HQ to DRL, Tezpur.
Some other projects related to installation of Green Houses were also completed by DRL, Tezpur with following details.

Installation of two Green Houses at DRL, Dett. At Tawang

DRL, Tezpur has two detachments in Arunachal Pradesh. One is at Salari, 190 km from Tezpur and another at Tawang, 380 km away from DRL, Tezpur. DRL Dett., Tawang is situated at 10,000 Ft high from sea level. This area is very less of vegetation due to extreme cold climatic condition. Hence cultivation of vegetables in open environments is not possible.

DRL, Tezpur has installed one Green House at DRL, Dett., Tawang and another Green House in same location is under construction. In this Green House, varieties of vegetable nursery is being raised and are being supplied to those Green Houses installed in different army unit for making vegetables nursery is being raised and are being supplied to those green houses installed in different army unit for making vegetables seeding.

Gross irregularities and violation of Purchase Management 2006 took place in issuing of supply orders for construction and installation of Green Houses at DRL, Tezpur.

One case as case study is submitted herewith in which gross violation of purchase rules took place.

(A) Demand was initiated by Dr. RKR Singh, Technical Officer ‘C’ with following details:

(B) Open Tender No. DRL/OT/13-14 was published in Newspapers and DRDO website with following details.

(D) Under Supply Order dated 26.12.2013, Job Completion Certificate was issued from DRL, Tezpur vide letter No. DRL/OT/HAR/11/13-14/S-73 dated with following details:

(E) Unique Power Systems is registered at Andhra Pradesh Commercial Tax Department with TIN – 37720549449 and date of registration 02-06-2014 under VAT and CST commodity MACHINERY, Works Contracts; ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMERS, SWITCH GEARS; MACHINERY SPARES, ALL KINDS OF CABLES; COPPER WIRE.

This vendor has its own website uniquepowersystems.in and Mr. Subbarao Ramisetty is proprietor of this firm. According to the information available on the website “Unique Power Systems” are a leading organization engaged in trading and supplying a variety of Electrical and Electronics Items. We have in store a technically superior range of Transmission Line, Substation, Insulator, Vacuum Circuit Breaker, Generator, Transformer, Speed Breakers, Flexible Cable and MCCB.

6. One Open Tender No. DRL/OT/14-15 was published in 2014 for 05 Green Houses with EMD Rs. 100,000. The demands were made in said open tender and case is under process.

IRREGULATIES AND VIOLATION OF PM 2006 IN CONSTRUCTION & INSTALLATION OF GREEN HOUSES AT DRL, TEZPUR

Very junior officer of rank Technical Officer ‘C’ was appointed as Project leader with only one member (STA) in the project which is major project activity of DRL, Tezpur. In past project of Green House more than Five Officer/staff were involved with senior most scientists as Project Head. Keeping only officials in such a big project smacks something wrong at end of Director/CFA.
RKR Singh, TO ‘C’ was not authorized to indent case of Rs. 50 L while other several senior scientists were available at DRL, Tezpur. This violates section 4.6.2 and 4.6.3 of PM 2006. Demands costing Rs 50 lakh and above: Initiation by Scientist E and above countersigned by project or group head.
The demand was initiated as well as countersigned by Dr. RKR Singh, TO ‘C’ and approved by Dr. Vijay Veer, Director. This violated the various sections of PM 2006.
Item cost was inclusive of taxes while as per PM 2006 all taxes should be separately calculated and added in basic cost of the item. Material cost, construction and installation cost should be mentioned separately.
In demand unit price was mentioned as Rs. 9,92,331.00 but how the indenter arrived at his cost. How he done cost estimation or he submitted any quotation in record for this cost. The figure of unit cost as mentioned by indenter is unrealistic and fabricated.
Board of Officers was not constituted for inspection of constructed Green Houses and handing over to users Amy Units. Issue Voucher should be issued to each Green House separately. Job completion report should be endorsed by Board of Officers.
Splitting of cases to keep demand cost with in financial powers of Director as in project of Rs. 4.18 crore small-small cases costing just below Rs. 50 L are initiated. Two open tenders no. DRL/OT/13-14 and DRL/OT/14-15 each costing Rs. 50 L was published within same project by splitting of the cases. One tender should be published to avoid splitting of cases and get better prices and consolidated demand should be raised for whole project as PDC was only 36 months. Hence PM 2006 was grossly violated by Dr. Vijay veer, Director/CFA.
As per PM 2006 the Supply Order should be signed for and on behalf of ‘President of India’ in DRDO.MM.16 but this section of PM 2006 was grossly violated by Dr. Vijay Veer, Director/CFA. The supply orders issued by DRL, Tezpur are not in format DRDO.MM.16 and these SO are not signed for and on behalf of India, which is very serious matter as per PM 2006.
Cost Estimation not made properly figure of unit price is unrealistic.
TEC Report was ignored and parameters effecting installation of Green House like soil testing, wind speed, altitude etc not considered by Director and TPC done without clearance of TEC Report.
Gross violation of Purchase Rules, Supply Order not in proper format signed on behalf of Director, DRL, Tezpur, TO ‘C’ is not authorized to indent case up to Rs. 50 L. No sales tax, service tax or VAT charged and prices were inclusive of all taxes. Service tax Registration Number.

7. The departmental action under CCS(CCA) Rules 1965 and PC Act 1988 may kindly be initiated against Vijay Veer, Director, DRL, Tezpur for said misconduct and misuse of power.

In light of above facts and evidences it is requested to CVC to setup a high level inquiry to inspect the procurement process and violation of PM 2006 at DRL, Tezpur by Dr. RKR Singh, TO’C’ and Dr. Vijay Veer , Director in construction and installation of all these Green Houses.

MoD Seeks Report on DRDO Contract Staff

May 17, 2015 Prabhu 5 Comments

By Pradip R Sagar Published: 17th May 2015 06:00 AM -The New Indian Express
NEW DELHI: Taking cognisance of Express report, which highlighted that a huge number of contractual employees in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) were posing a threat to the defence secrets in the wake of a few espionage cases coming to light, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has sought a detailed report from the premier defence research agency.

The April 27 report had said the agency had a strength of more than 50,000 temporary or casual employees, who had complete access to all its classified and research activities.

Alarmed over the issue raised by Express, Defence Secretary R K Mathur, who is holding additional charge of the Defence Research and Development Organisation, has sought a detailed report through an internal note issued on May 8 to Director Generals of all the Defence Research and Development Organisation establishments.

“It is therefore requested that requisite inputs in respect of all hired/ contractual employees in your cluster/laboratories and departments along with duration of employment, payment details, functional justification and copy of the relevant authority letter be furnished to the department by June 5 for further necessary action,” Major General Ajay Gupta, Director Vigilance and Security, said in the internal missive on the directions of the Defence Secretary.

These contractual employees are not only involved in every step of design and development of projects, but also in trials. Over 55 laboratories of the Defence Research and Development Organisation, mandated to develop products and technologies to modernise Armed Forces ranging from missiles to combat aircraft, have roped in over these casual employees to assist scientists.

SUBJECT: DEFENCE SECRET IN DANGER, DIRECTOR, DRL, DRDO TEZPUR’s DIRECTOR SECRETARIAT MANAGED BY CONTRACTUAL LABOUR AS PERSONNEL SECRETARY

Sir, Yesterday (26^th April 2015) The Sunday Standard first page news was “Defence Secret is in Danger”

In this reference, DRDO having lot of examples, DRDO is only one department where you can find contractual manpower above age of 70 or below 18 years. People may be think that because of their high skill expertise DRDO might been engage such manpower, but matter of fact this practice adopted DRDO is only for those who are having good number of secrets or having evidences of wrong doings of DRDO bosses.

In ASL you will find people working since last more than 10 years after retirements, scientists, Technical Officers, who are experts in manpower/ logistic manipulations while missile firing, even JCDA retired account officer etc who are expertise in bill clearance from CDA. These specialized contractual having good assets that can be verified by agencies.

One major observation on these contract appointments is the not following the proper police verification.

ACEM, Nasik campus one murder was done by a contract’s man who has criminal records.

HEMRL GOCO contract labor business, the police verification was done on single list basis one stamp of Thana solved the problem and best part of this these hundreds of contract labours handle the high class explosive TATB.

For example in ADE, DRDO. Bangalore more than 170 B.Tech contract employees are working in core area for mare Rs 12000 and same time scientists who are getting hefty salaries Rs 80000 to 1.5 Lakhs are looking stores /admin /horticulture /works / security /Library etc

Following one example case of DRL, DRDO, Tezpur for your sharp analysis of this DRDO’s contract business.

Sh.M.L. Roy is an ex-employee of Defence Research Laboratory (DRL), Tezpur who superannuated on 31 Dec 2008
He was posted at Director Secretariat as Personal Assistant/Personal Secretary to Director, DRL, Tezpur prior to his superannuation from DRL, Tezpur.

Since last 7 years continuously working in DRL, Tezpur as Personal Secretary (PS) to Director, DRL, and Tezpur by means of several private vendors / supplier/security agencies.
M.L. Roy is presently of 65 +years age and not fit for this job as in this sensitive post any private contractual labour should not be appointed while several young skilled manpower is available in DRL, Tezpur.
DRL, Tezpur having permanent staff Sh S K Sharma as PS ‘C’ but he was not assigned the right job.
Interestingly Sh M L Roy working for Rs 5000 – Rs 6000 only as Jan 2015 Salary was Rs 5764.00

This British legacy are maintaining by DRDO directors and senior officers. I am enclosing two photographs of a contract labour is busy to wash his boss personal car in DRL, Tezpur campus

Here’s a novel idea to provide stench-free rides in trains

May 14, 2015 Prabhu 7 Comments

ANIL KUMAR SASTRY – MANGALURU, May 11, 2015 – The Hindu
A senior Railway official has come out with a novel idea that could rid the Indian Railways of the ‘World’s largest open toilet’ tag.

His idea of self-contained toilet coaches (SCTC) within every train rake will not only make tracks stench-free, but also reduce financial burden on the Railways, which is introducing expensive bio-toilets in all coaches.

In his paper posted on the Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS) Association (www.irts.org.in), senior IRTS officer and Director with the Railway Board, Anwar Hussain Shaik, has given a simple solution — remove toilets in every passenger coach and design exclusive toilet coaches that can be attached to every rake. The SCTC will have a collection tank beneath and a water tank atop. The waste will be disposed of directly to the underground drainage system at designated stations, thereby completely eliminating manual intervention. Depending upon the number of coaches of each rake, three or four toilet coaches could be marshalled in between the rake in such a way that passengers need not cross more than three coaches to reach the toilet, Mr. Shaik said.

Introduction of SCTC for all 1,600 rakes of the Railways would cost around Rs. 1,000 crore at the rate of Rs. 63 lakh per rake. However, the bio-toilets would cost more than Rs. 8,000 crore. He, however, admitted that the big problem would be changing the mindset of passengers, who are used to toilets in every coach.

Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur’s misadventure by repairing multi utility shed from the cloths (Dress Material or other purpose) procured for Army Jawans

Subject: Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur’s misadventure by repairing multi utility shed from the cloth (Dress Material or other purpose) procured for Army Jawans

Sir, DMSRDE having a multi utility shed for organizing different local functions and programs. The structure built by steel and covered by water proof cloth like used by tent houses.

Recently this Feb 26-28, 2015 at DMSRDE, Kanpur organized a Conference on Microscopy in Materials Science and Biomimetic Technology with Academy of microscopic science and technology (AMST) society, Kanpur in above multi utility shed.

Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE founder of Academy of microscopic science and technology (AMST) society, Kanpur.

Just before conference MULI UTILITY SHED repaired by VIRAJ SYNTAX LTD, Kanpur, and the Material was provided by DMSRDE, Kanpur under directive of Dr A kK Saxena.

The material used was PU COATED NYLON WHITE FABRIC (Procured for fabrication of WIND CHEATER FOR GLACER REGION) and Green PVC Coated fabric they have used for upper layer of shed.

The Multi Utility shed being a part of the public infra structure the work should have been done by public concerned authority such as CC (R&D)N , MES, but as a matter of habitual procedural defiance the work was done the other way and therefore no norms for repairs followed resulting in wastage of the material

White fabric was procured in 1999-2000 in excess and store audit objection is in position.

Interestingly, the valuable public material got issued in the name of ‘study purpose’ just before the conference jointly organized by DMSRDE and AMST (Academy of microscopic science and technology) in which Dr. KN Pandey , Retd. TO”C”, one of the very close circle advisors group of Dr. AK Saxena is the founder general secretary of wonderful society the AMST where there are no declared policies or bye laws and no transparency in accounts handling.

With a very huge loss to public property approximately 1000 m market rate is (RS 250/meter) of pu coated nylon white was used for lower layer total shed where a much low cost white cloth would have been sufficient for aesthetics.

400 meters market rate is RS 450 /meter of pu coated green heavy cloths were used for upper layer.

The repairs could not last even for two months and again they are using the unduly expensive cloth for re-repairing with the purpose of getting rid of the audit objection in an unmindful and sheepish way.

The current position of this multi utility shed’s photographs is enclosed for your ready reference.

Sir, It is requested that please direct these DRDO officials not to waste public money for their adventures, needful inquiry is also requested in this Dr A K Saxena’s misadventure.

‘DRDO Chariot’ Donation Issue Reaches Parliament, Parrikar Says Probe Ongoing

May 9, 2015 Prabhu

By Pradip R Sagar Published: 09th May 2015 05:00 AM – The New Indian Express

NEW DELHI: A probe is on into allegations that a Pune-based laboratory of the country’s premier defence research agency DRDO had developed and donated a hi-tech chariot to a temple, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar informed Parliament on Friday.

Express in its report dated November 23 had reported that the DRDO laboratory had spent `5 crore to develop a hi-tech chariot and donated it to Alandi Temple in Pune.

Responding to a` question raised in the Lok Sabha by TDP MP C H Malla Reddy on the matter, Parrikar said in a written reply that the matter is “under inquiry”.

“Further action would be taken thereafter,” he added.

This shocking piece of information came out after a scientist of the same laboratory moved the Bombay High Court over the absurd venture and filed a complaint with the CVC.

The scientist, was made to pay for raising his voice. The DRDO, in turn, not only stripped him off from ongoing projects, but also transferred him from the centre.

Dr S Guruprasad, Director of the laboratory Research and Development Establishment (engineers), Pune, had told Express that they had built the battery-operated chariot over a year’s time and the DRDO carried out the project under the head of corporate social responsibility (CSR).

The chariot can run for about 12 hours and the battery takes six hours to get fully charged. The chariot is made of carbon fibre, which has reduced its weight considerably to 1,900 kg from about 4,000 kg of the old chariot.

R&DE, Pune, has a mandate to design and develop combat engineering systems such as military bridging and mine warfare systems, development of field defence systems and, design and development of weapon launch systems such as Prithvi, Agni, Brahmos, Nirbhay, among others.

While numerous DRDO projects such as the Light Combat Aircraft Tejas, Nag missile, long-range surface-to-air missile and the airborne early warning and control system have been delayed and have cost much higher than their original estimates, indulging in such an expensive “religious” project have raised many eyebrows.

These awards include Scientist ofthe Year Awardto Scientist of the Laboratory with cash prize of Rs. 25,000 and Technology Group Award for Group/Team of Scientists/ Engineers/support staff with cash prize of Rs.50,000.

It is common practice in most of the Lab/Estt. of DRDO that Director never be the part of awardee group as he himself is approving authority for approving the lab level award and due to “conflict of interest” , Director should not be one of the member among the awardees.

There was no such kind of dirty practice in DRL, Tezpur till the year 2009. Copy of Awards List for 2009 is annexed as Annexure-3, but since joining of Dr. Lokendra Singh as Director, DRL, Tezpur a new unethical and corrupt practice started at DRL by which Dr. Lokendra Singh took two Technology Group Award for the year 2010 and 2011. Copy annexed as Annexure-4.

Similarly Dr. Vijay Veer took the Technology Group Award for the year 2012, 2013 and 2014. Copy annexed as Annexure-5.

But ethics, morals and integrity was kept on one side by greedy Directors Dr. Lokendra Singh (Bio digester Man of DRDO) Ex -Director, DRL, 2010-28 Feb 2012) and Dr. Vijay Veer (Director , DRL, Tezpur from 01 March 2012 – Till Date) when both these Directors started to take Technology Group Award for himself along with contribution in price money.

In the year 2014, Dr. Vijay Veer, Director, DRL, Tezpur himself approved his name for Technology Group Award and Dr. I. Baruah; Scientist ‘F’ himself recommended his name while he was member of Committee for selection of lab level award for the year 2014. Copy of the letter dated 03^rd November 2014 itself discloses the whole story.

Sir, the issue is concerned with misuse of power for financial benefits, greediness, degradation of ethics and violation of DRDO policy for awards by Dr. Vijay Veer, Director, DRL, Tezpur.

Therefore, it is request you to issue orders to withdraw Technology Group Awards for the year 2012, 2013 and 2014 from Dr. Vijay Veer, Director, DRL, Tezpur and Dr. Lokendra Singh Bio digester Man of DRDO, both should be ordered to deposit the public money received in these awards to Government account.

Sir, DRDO scientists are great to do exemplary manipulations and misinterpretation of GOI rules for their personal benefits.
