SA to RM, Sh Avinash Chander is visiting today Institute of Technology Management (ITM), Mussoorie where he will enlighten the modus oprandi of Director in DRDO to newly appointed Director of various DRDO labs.

Misinterpretation of laid down government rules and misappropriation of fund are the main hidden agenda.

Examples are the contractual appointments of few of his pals ex TO’s, ex account officers, ex JCDA man are among them and some of them are continuing their contract since 2005, they are basically masters in manipulation of funds, during missile launchings up to certain extent they accumulated unaccountable money.

Sh Avinash Chander proved his might when he forced the selection committee to promote Ms Tessy Thomas as scientist ‘H’ by superseding 100s of competent eligible scientists. Sh. Avinash Chander further given appointment of her husband Cmdr SK Patel as scientist ‘G’ creating tailor made advertisement and afterwards made him Director QRS, GOD is great but Sh Avinash Chander is also great for incompetents.

Like his predecessor he also did not accepted a technical officer or junior scientists being appreciated by user, Sh B B Sarkar of DIPAS like unsung hero succumbed to injury after doing so many good works particularly in Siachen but more ever his work was never ever recognize by DRDO but in dynasty of Sh Avinash Chander he was harassed. GOD will see – …….

This above orientation program may consume crore of rupees as directors and DRDO top officials are attending with family all guest houses around Dehradun and Mussoorie are booked.

Unfortunately, A will cut short his visit, Honorable defence minister is schedule to visit DRDO Bhawan tomorrow at 3.30 PM.

SA to RM just save his contractual appointment gave full page advertisement in leading national papers and publish the photographs of Sh Modi Ji & Sh Parrikar Ji are being beefooled along with 125 crores people. The cow dunk has the said microbes as claimed by DRDO to use in Bio digester, as spin off technology for rural sanitation.

The Idea behind of this that he believes in photo puja, in DRDO every director’s office having good framed SA’s photograph not first SA of DRDO but Sh Avinash Chander’s photograph.

Almost 20 to 25 lakhs spend by DRDO for this advertisement Parrikar shahib almost more than 200 toilet can built from this amount in rural area which was spends only to please you from public money.

Further Sh Avinash Chander will ensure that Agni- V is successful contribution by test fire before 30^th November 2014 ?

OneIndia Exclusive: DRDO to abandon indigenous fighter jet engine Kaveri project

November 21, 2014 Prabhu 2 Comments

Written by: Dr Anantha Krishnan M,Wednesday, November 19, 2014,

Bengaluru, Nov 18: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has decided to wind up the Kaveri engine (GTX-35VS ) programme, signaling an end to a desi dream of equipping its own fighter jet with a home-grown power plant. Sources in the Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed to OneIndia on Tuesday that the DRDO has already moved a file recently seeking the closure of the ambitious engine development project undertaken by Bengaluru-based Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE).
The proposal now needs to get the approval of the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and finally the clearance from the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) – a process expected to take at least a year. The Kaveri project, which began in the mid-80s, was aimed at powering the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas. GTRE has spent so far Rs 2,106 crore on the project so far and could only fly the engine for 73 hours on the IL-76 Flying Test Bed (FTB) in Russia. The delay in the project saw DRDO choosing the GE 404 engine for Tejas Mk-1 and GE 414 for Tejas Mk-II. GTRE gets additional funds Sources said that the DRDO has sanctioned Rs 300 crore for GTRE to take up future projects. “The lab is gearing up to take up some futuristic projects and the sanctions have been already given. Another additional sanction of Rs 700 crore is on its way to help realize these gen-next technologies,” an official said.

Sources confirm that a separate proposal of Rs 2,600 crore to develop engines for an ‘ambitious project’ is under consideration now. The lab has been given another Rs 70 crore for a strategic programme. Part of DRDO’s bold decision, confirms DG Refusing to divulge the finer details, Dr K Tamilmani, Director-General (Aero), DRDO, confirmed to OneIndia that the Kaveri project will be scrapped. “Yes. These are part of the bold stand being taken by DRDO. Whereever we have found bottlenecks for long time, with no realistic solutions, it’s better to move on. It is an honest stand we are taking,” Tamilmani said. When asked whether the decision was a fall out of the recent remarks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking DRDO to come out of the delay trap, the senior official refused to make a direct comment. “If you are fit to run only for 50 km, why attempt 100 km? DRDO has realized its mistakes of the past and we have no hesitation in taking some bold steps,” he said. Sources said that the MoF has sought some clarifications from DRDO on the Kaveri project, before the matter could finally reach the CCS.

Years of hard work won’t go waste: GTRE Director Dr C P Ramanarayanan, Director, GTRE, said that the DRDO decision might not be final. Leading a team of 900-plus staff at GTRE, Dr Ramanarayanan is now left with the task of inspiring the team to launch future projects. “This is not the end of the road. We have identified some 12 core areas of technologies and various teams are already at it. Years of hard work put in by the team won’t go waste either,” Dr Ramanarayanan, a torpedo specialist, told OneIndia.

He said world over not many countries have progressed ahead in making engines. “We have made a good start and despite the delays, proved our capabilities to our best of abilities. The lessons learnt will not go down the drain. India must become self sufficient in making aero engines and our efforts will continue,” he added.

NTRO tranfers officer for exposing corruption

November 20, 2014 Prabhu 1 Comment

Dalip Singh | Mail Today | New Delhi, June 14, 2011

Suresh Sharma exposed corruption and nepotism in sensitive appointments made by top brass of NTRO. Read more at: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/national-technical-research-organisation-tranfers-officer-for-exposing-corruption/1/141405.html — **Suresh Sharma exposed corruption and nepotism in sensitive appointments made by top brass of NTRO**.

A senior official in the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) is facing the heat for blowing the whistle on corruption and nepotism in the premier intelligence body.

Director (establishment) Suresh Sharma was moved out of the NTRO’s Delhi headquarters after red-flagging large-scale irregularities in sensitive appointments made by the organisation brass.

The NTRO has been courting bad publicity following an as yet-unreleased report by the comptroller and auditor general (CAG), criticising the organisation for alleged irregularities in the purchase of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles).

The organisation, set up after the Kargil war to spruce up technical intelligence, reports to the National Security Adviser who is answerable directly to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The PMO has sought the NTRO’s response on the CAG report.
In January, about a month before he was moved to Bangalore, Sharma wrote to NSA Shiv Shankar Menon accusing senior adviser P. V. Kumar of aiding irregularities in the appointment of external pilots and scientists, among other posts. Recently, Kumar was elevated as the NTRO head.

The PMO had forwarded Sharma’s complaint for appropriate action to Kumar, then acting chairman of the NTRO. As nothing seemed to have come of it, the PMO sent a reminder on March 30 and asked for an action taken report.

The PMO also constituted a single-member inquiry panel under Kumar to look into the complaints of irregular appointments. Strangely, the complaints were marked to Kumar despite the fact that the supervisory role of the NTRO chairman was not above board.

A detailed questionnaire was faxed to the NTRO chairman more than a week back, seeking his response on the serious charges against him and allegations of corruption in the premier organisation. However, Kumar refused to file a reply despite several reminders.

Sharma had alleged in his letter to the NSA that Kumar had attempted to water down the true findings of his inquiry panel. Sharma could not be reached for comments despite making several calls to Bangalore.

Sharma, who was holding the charge of additional controller (administration) in the NTRO, stated in his fivepage complaint that he had tried to apprise Kumar of the appointments violating all government norms and corruption in the organisation.

“A lot of pressure was mounted on me to change my notes but, as a dutiful officer of central government posted in a very sensitive organisation, I did not succumb to any such pressure,” he wrote.

The letter quotes several instances to give a glimpse of what is wrong in the NTRO. A group captain (retired) posted at the Dehradun aviation base was shielded despite complaints of corruption pending against him. As a cover-up exercise, the NTRO ordered an inquiry against him. But its establishment division suggested the probe report not be accepted as it did not follow government regulations. Once the objections were raised on the official file, it was never returned to the establishment division, Sharma alleged.

Two officers were employed on a contract basis in the organisation at the joint secretary-level. The NTRO, overlooking the PMO’s directive putting a cap on employment at 65 years’ age, wanted to extend their services. The NTRO suggested the two could be appointed at ‘job contract basis’, which too was illegal.

The CAG report is also believed to have taken note of the irregularities. But it is suspected the government is not willing to make the report public as it would open up a can of worms which would be difficult for the PMO to defend.

Each Directors of DRDO Labs is King/ Queen of Small Kingdom

Shri Manohar Parrikar,

SUBJECT: DRDO Directors running DRDO Labs as their Dynasty

Sir,

It appears that Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS, DRDO running Lab as her dynasty.

“Each Directors of DRDO Labs is King/ Queen of Small Kingdom”

Dr Gausal Azam Khan, young energetic life sciences scientist’s research paper was selected for “Developing World Scientist Award” by XXIII Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemotasis, Kyoto, Japan.(July 23-28, 2014)

As per DRDO procedure Dr Khan submitted all required documents and requested to allow him to attend above conference well in advance.

However, he was discriminated being a minority because and has not been allowed to attend conference, Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS till date not furnished any logical /acceptable reason for denial.

Last movement a senior scientist who was very well understand the DRDO culture advised

Dr Khan who was joined DRDO direct scientist ‘D’ via NRI scheme in 2009 and does not aware the DRDO flattery culture only believes in research but in last movement a senior scientist who was very well understand the DRDO culture advised to make it personal visit and get NOC.

The advised worked and Dr Khan got NOC and he went Japan.

Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS took it personally and by unconstitutionally without taking consent from competent authority i.e DG, DRDO she wrote email to organization committee and inquired unethical manner regarding Dr Khan’s where about, when he reached, where he stays, what he received award/finance etc.

Is very shame to DRDO that Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS was spread a message to all international research family that there are no harmony/ understanding/ team spirit/good faith among the DRDO scientists.

Following enclosed emails from Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS to executive director of organizing committee speaks a volume.

Whether GOI/ DRDO Hqrs permit any director to write such mails/letter to ask individual’s personal where about, when he was in personal capacity visit.

In case of Dr Khan when he applied official he was denied means for DRDO matter closed. It attracts penalty for breach of confidentiality and privacy.

Whether GOI/DRDO hrqs allow to directors who are demoralizing the young scientists, other hand the government asked DRDO “What DRDO is doing to make quality scientific manpower pool larger then what is available, to make it much more competent and qualitative, and what kind of facilities and infrastructure DRDO provide to scientific community including their pay and facilities, other things? (CC R&D, HR).
A board has recommended Dr GA Khan entry in DRDO as Scientist ‘D’ in NRI scheme, being a dedicated and hard working scientist, he has made his own space in the field, recognize internationally. Instead of encouraging such manpower DRDO Hqrs appears to discriminate the scientist on the basis of cast & creed by backing the Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS.

Sir, it is requested to find out, whether Dr. Shashi Bala Singh Director, DIPAS could obtain permission from Sh Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO to write such emails which reflects the mistrust among the colleagues and spying of own scientist. This act of shame is being talked with different; they surprised to see the downfall of DRDO scientific culture.

Breach of trust, criminal misconduct and gross violation of CCS (Conduct) Rules 1964 to misguide Hon’ble Defence Minister by Dr. A.K. Singh, Director (Personnel) , DRDO HQ, New Delhi.

Hon’ble

Shri Manohar Parrikar,

Defence Minister,

Room No -104, South Block,

New Delhi-110011

SUBJECT: Breach of trust, criminal misconduct and gross violation of CCS (Conduct) Rules 1964 to misguide Hon’ble Defence Minister by Dr. A.K. Singh, Director (Personnel) , DRDO HQ, New Delhi.

Hon’ble Sir,

I would like to draw your kind attention towards mischievous acts of Dr. A.K. Singh, Director (Personnel), DRDO HQ who is Scientist ‘G’ belonging to Life Sciences discipline. Though renowned Nuclear Medicine Scientist he is posted in Directorate related to HR like Staff Officer to CCR&D, Director, CEPTAM, DHRD and DOP since the year 2004. He has no knowledge and understanding of HR, Government Rules and Government Orders rather he is expert in manipulation of rules short term gains. Former Hon’ble Defence Minister, himself a renowned lawyer of India was mislead by Dr. A.K. Singh, Director (Personnel), DRDO resulted day by several court cases against DRDO in various courts across the country. Dr. A.K. Singh, Director (Personnel), DRDO is solely responsible for humiliation to DRDO, waste expenditure of public money and trouble to innocent scientists and employees of DRDO.

Due to this DRDO derailed from real task i.e. development of weapon technologies and most of top senior officials busy to tackle court cases and country’s precious time wasted on court formalities and height of this is CC (R&D) HR, DRDO fighting to save himself from jail punishment and wasting poor taxpayers money by engaging 4 top lawyers.

Hon’ble Sir, being an honest and simple person you are traveling in economy class to save public money but senior scientists of DRDO including Dr. A.K. Singh are enjoying business class travel and collecting flying points for family members.

Brief Facts of the Case

A.K. Singh, Director (Personnel) issued Order No. MON.GP/120576/M/01 dated 10 October 2014 by which states that “Competent Authority has come to the conclusion that the appointment of Ms. Swati Srivastava, Scientist ‘B’ (now Scientist ‘C’ ) in DRDO is irregular ab initio. Therefore , the President being the Competent Authority has dispensed with the requirement of holding another enquiry and has decided to annul the appointment of said Ms. Swati Srivastava, Scientist ‘B’ (now Scientist ‘C’) in DRDO with immediate effect invoking the provisions of DOP&T OM No. 11012/7/91-Estt. (A) dated 19.05.1993 read with the Rule 19(ii) of CCS(CCA) Rules 1965“. Copy of the Order dated 10 October 2014 is enclosed as Annexure-1.
Therefore it is pertinent to understand the provisions of said DOPT OM dated 19.05.1993 and Rule 19(ii) of CCS(CCA) Rules 1965.

DOP&T OM No. 11012/7/91-Estt. (A) dated 19.05.1993

Action against Government servants to be taken if they are later found ineligible or unqualified for their initial recruitment –

Attention of the Ministries/Departments is invited to Ministry of Home Affairs OM No. 39/1/67- Ests.(A) dated 21.02.1967 wherein it was clarified that departmental action can be taken against Government servant in respect of misconduct committed before his employment. Attention is also invited to the Ministry of Home Affairs OM No. 5/1/63-Estt. (D) dated 30.04.1965 wherein Ministries/Departments were requested to make use of the provision of ‘warning’ inserted in the Attestation Form for taking action against Government servant furnishing false information at the time of appointment.

A question has now arisen as to whether a Government Servant can be discharged from service where it is discovered later that the Government servant was not qualified or eligible for his initial recruitment in service. The Supreme Court in its judgment in the District Collector, Vizianagram vs. M. Tripura Sundari Devi (1990(4) SLR 237 went into this issue and observed as under :-

“It must further be realized by all concerned that when an advertisement mentions a particular qualification and an appointment is made in disregard of the same, it is not a matter only between the appointing authority and the appointee concerned. The aggrieved are all those who had similar or better qualifications than the appointee or appointees but who had not applied for the post because they did not possess the qualifications mentioned in the advertisement. It amounts to a fraud on public to appoint a person with inferior qualifications in such circumstances unless it is clearly stated that the qualifications are relaxable. No Court should be a party to the perpetuation of the fraudulent practice.”

The matter has been examined in consultation with the Ministry of Law and Justice and it has now been decided that wherever it is found that a Government servant, who was not qualified or eligible in terms of the recruitment rules etc, for initial recruitment in service or had furnished false information or produced a false certificate in order to secure appointment, he should not be retained in service. If he is a probationer or a temporary Government servant, he should be discharged or his services should be terminated. If he has become a permanent Government servant, an inquiry as prescribed in Rule 14 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 may be held and if the charges are proved, the Government servant should be removed or dismissed from service. In no circumstances should any other penalty be imposed.

Such discharge, termination, removal or dismissal from service would, however, be without prejudice to the right of the Government to prosecute such Government servants.

[Deptt. Of Personnel & Training OM No. 11012/7/91-Estt. (A) dated 19.05.1993]

Rule 19 of CCS(CCA) Rules 1965

Special procedure in certain cases

Notwithstanding anything contained in rule 14 to rule 18-

(i) where any penalty is imposed on a Government servant on the ground of conduct which has led to his conviction on a criminal charge, or

(ii) where the disciplinary authority is satisfied for reasons to be recorded by it in writing that it is not reasonably practicable to hold an inquiry in the manner provided in these rules,

(iii) where the President is satisfied that in the interest of the security of the State, it is not expedient to hold any inquiry in the manner provided in these rules, the disciplinary authority may consider the circumstances of the case and make such orders thereon as it deems fit:

Provided that the Government servant may be given an opportunity of making representation on the penalty proposed to be imposed before any order is made in a case under clause (i):

Provided further that the Commission shall be consulted, where such consultation is necessary, before any orders are made in any case under this rule.

Mere reading of the provisions of said OM dated 19.05.1993 stipulates that:
If he has become a permanent Government servant, an inquiry as prescribed in Rule 14 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 may be held.
if the charges are proved, the Government servant should be removed or dismissed from service.

In no circumstances should any other penalty be imposed.

All the above three provisions of said OM dated 19.05.1993 were grossly violated in Order No. MON.GP/120576/M/01 dated 10 October 2014 issued by Dr. A.K. Singh under planned conspiracy and mischief the Hon’ble Defence Minister. The major irregularities and facts related to the Order dated 10 October 2014 to annul the appointment of Ms. Swati Srivastava, Scientist ‘C’ are as under:
It is quite obvious from order that charges of illegal appointment on Ms. Swati Srivastava was established as she was not having requisite qualification and submitted false information at time of her initial recruitment.
She became permanent employee of DRDO in past ten years after his appointment in DRDO.

In case of permanent employee if the charges are proved, the Government servant should be removed or dismissed from service.

In no circumstances should any other penalty be imposed.
To annul the appointment is totally illegal as there is no such provision to annul the appointment in CCS(CCA) Rules 1965.
Ms. Swati Srivastava was recruited in DRDO for post of Scientist ‘B’ and the case is of recruitment of Ms. Swati Srivastava as Scientist ‘B’.

The DOPT OM No. 11012/7/91-Estt. (A) dated 19.05.1993 deals with “Action against Government servants to be taken if they are later found ineligible or unqualified for their initial recruitment”. The whole case of Ms. Swati Srivastava , Scientist ‘C’ was related to her illegal initial recruitment not the appointment.
A. K. Singh, DOP mentioned illegal recruitment as irregular appointment.

Inquiry under Rule 14 of CCS(CCA) Rules 1965 was knowingly dispensed/dropped by misusing Rule 19(2) so that penalty of dismissal or removal should not be imposed upon Ms. Swati Srivastava by Dr. A. K. Singh, DOP by DRDO.
Whole exercise and conspiracy was planned by Dr. A. K. Singh , DOP to patronage and protect the interest of Ms. Swati Srivastava , Scientist ‘C’.
Illegal order dated 10 October 2014 was knowingly issued by Dr. A. K. Singh , DOP so that Ms. Swati Srivastava , Scientist ‘C’ can challenge the order dated 10 October 2014 to annul her appointment and come back in DRDO based on court order.
Establishing the above narrated facts, Ms. Swati Srivastava , Scientist ‘C’ moved to Principal Bench of Central Administrative Tribunal vide A./3809/2014 with first hearing on 12.11.2014. Copy of cause list of 12.11.2014 , CAT, New Delhi is attached for ready reference.
Therefore in the interest of DRDO and public of the nation justice should be meted out as per Law and following actions are requested to your honest and transparent office.
Order for dismissal or removal from service of Ms. Swati Srivastava, Scientist ‘C’ should be issued as per obligation of the DOP&T OM 11012/7/91-Estt. (A) Dated 19.05.1993.
A.K. Singh, Director(Personnel) should immediately be removed from post of Director(Personnel) and proper high level inquiry should be conducted for his role in nepotism , conspiracy, breach of trust,violations of conduct rules and wastage of public money.
As all four cases of Recruitment Scam is under probe of CBI vide CVO, MOD note approved by former Hon’ble Defence Minister Sri A.K. Antony on 29.10.2013, therefore this irregularity and misconduct for nepotism by Dr. K. Singh, Director(Personnel) should be referred to CBI to investigate role of Dr. A.K. Singh in issuance of such illegal order dated 10 Oct 2014 to favour Ms. Swati Srivastava, Scientist ‘C’.

November 9, 2014 Prabhu 7 Comments

Sh A K Antony gave responsibility to find out the truth of appointment of Ms Swati Srivastava as scientist ‘B’ post by RAC.

The nation is witnessed that same person first gave clean chit under influence of corrupt officials of DRDO and now he has approved the order of annulment the appointment of Ms Swati Srivastava. Unfortunately, the country of 125 crores population, our government is not able to found any honest and responsible person for secretary, DRD, DG, DRDO and SA to RM post.

They are still shielding concern duo (Father Daughter) and other involved officials by terming the illegal recruitment of Ms Swati Srivasta as irregular appointment with the clear motive of department escape from the duty of lodging of criminal case against the manipulation done under the influence of Dr Arun Kumar in the direct recruitment of Ms Swati Srivastava in RAC Delhi

Hope Modi ji will look seriously this very important issue it is directly related to moral of our honest scientist whose fortune / fate is in hand of such man who has no respect of moral and honesty who only believes in his own growth.

Extension plea of top scientists rejected, govt bats for younger directors

November 5, 2014 Prabhu 26 Comments

Manu Pubby New Delhi, November 4, 2014 | UPDATED 20:04 IST- Indiatodayin

The government has struck down a request by the DRDO to grant four of its top scientists a service extension with the Prime Minister stepping in personally to ensure that the organisation does not add to its massive bank of scientists who have been working well past their retirement age.

In a move that has brought cheer to the younger scientists of the organization, the PMO refused to entertain a request by the DRDO’s departmental peer review committee to extend the service of four of its lab directors beyond the age of 60 years.

In the past, recommendations of the peer review committee were routinely accepted by the government and in most cases scientists were given an extension of two years to four years. However, as reported by the India Today, the new government is keen to have a younger profile of scientists in the organization and has already expressed concern about the increasing age profile in a field that requires cutting edge technology and expertise.

Sources said that four scientists including Prof MP Kaushik (DRDE Director), Dr VC Padaki (DEBEL Director) and DS Sistla Ravind (LRDE Director) had been recommended by DRDO Chief Avinash Chander for an extension of service. While the file made it all the way through the appointments committee of cabinet, sources said that the request was turned at the Prime Minister’s desk. The DLRL Lab director is also not to get an extension of service.

Officials said that the decision not to grant an extension was taken as part of the government’s new policy to promote younger talent with PM Narendra Modi already instructing that at least five labs should have directors below the age of 35.

However, as things most top scientists at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) who are tasked with creating weapons for future have passed the retirement age of 60 and are on service extensions.

The old age problem starts from the very head of the organization with DRDO chairman Avinash Chander already on two extensions. The previous government even approved a extraordinary contract to give Chander a 18-month contractual tenure from November when he turns 64, the maximum age till which service extensions can be given.

As reported by the India Today, most director generals at the headquarters and the heads of six of DRDO’s 54 labs and establishments are currently on extension. As many as 10 of the 16 top DRDO scientists are on extension. Internal surveys have found that nearly 87 per cent of the young scientists who join DRDO soon get disenchanted with the archaic, rigid structure of the research body that does not reward extraordinary performance with proportional career growth.

DRDO – CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Approach – HESCO, Shuklapur Village – Picnic in the name of rural technology

November 5, 2014 Prabhu 8 Comments

Another picnic spot developed by DRDO in HESCO, Shuklapur, Prem Nagar, Dehradun.

DRDO officials are found to visit hill area, earlier ITM, Mussoorie is very popular for all senior top DRDO officials especially in summer. The ITM Mussoorie conduct lot of courses in various topics/ subjects but passage of time it can be verified that the officials visiting Mussoorie is related with topic or not.

Now the country is vibrating in the name of corporate social responsibility and DRDO officials sense the pulse and catch the fish in right time.

R&D Eng, Pune, DRDO installed a mountain bridge in shuklapur for demonstration purpose and for photo session purpose July.

Sh Anil Dattar, DG and Dr. Guruprasd, Director, R&D (E) was the visited shuklapur and have good photo session for their profile but interestingly two more DRDO officials adjusted in frame one Dr A K Gupta, Ex Director, IRDE, Laser man and Sh R C Agarwal, SDR man. What they are doing there, Dr Gupta did bridge alignment with Laser, and Dr R C Agarwal collect the data of mountain bridge resonance may be it help to complete his 100 crore project SDR in time – but it seems it looking impossible. Best part of their presence that both are in extension of service and wasting the precious tax payer’s money in Shukla pur picnic spot.

Sh Avinash Chander is not interested to take any action on DMSRDE corruption cases

November 1, 2014 Prabhu 7 Comments

To 1^st November 2014

Hon’ble

Shri Arun Jaitly,

Raksha Mantri,

Room No 104, South Block,

New Delhi-110011

SUBJECT: Sh Avinash Chander is not interested to take any action on DMSRDE corruption cases.

Sir,

I would like to draw your kind attention towards corruption in tunes of crores at Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur, an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Ministry of Defence, Government of India.

Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Scientist ‘C’ on 28.04.1984 in DMSRDE, Kanpur and since then he is continuously posted at DMSRDE, Kanpur since last 30 years. He has not been transferred even for a day from Kanpur and since the date of his posting he is working at Kanpur. The roots of the Dr. Saxena while working at DMSRDE, Kanpur has become so deep that he was involved in various activities involving the financial & other administrative irregularities.

Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Scientist ‘G’ was appointed as Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur wef 01 January 2011. In spite of the fact that he has been involved in various financial and administrative irregularities , Dr. Saxena was promoted to the rank of Scientist ‘H’ wef 02 August 2012 and since then he is holding the rank of Scientist ‘H’ and working as Director, DMSRDE.

The right from his appointment as Director, he was involved in various kinds of administrative & financial irregularities that lead corruption in tunes of crores. Several complaints were made against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena to then Defence Minister by some scientists of DMSRDE.

Being a RTI activist and social worker running a website corruptionindrdo.com to expose the corruption in DRDO, also made as far as 12 complaints regarding corruption in procurements of various instruments & materials etc in DMSRDE by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE to CVC, Hon’ble Defence Minister and DGR&D, DRDO. These complaints were filed during 29 Nov 2013 to 11 June 2014. Total cost of store items procured against which complaints were filed is about Rs. 7.5 crore. A complete list of complaints filed by me to CVC and Hon’ble Defence Minister is annexed as Annexure No. -1.

All the aforesaid complaints made have been endorsed by Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). CVC has taken cognizance of aforesaid complaints and registered on prima facia. These complaints have been forwarded to Chief Vigilance Office (CVO), Ministry of Defence for further enquiry/investigation of the aforesaid complaints. Under the provisions of RTI Act 2005 the CPIO, CVC vide letter no. CVC/RTI/13/1862/241925 dated 18.03.2014 informed to me that his complaints have been forwarded to CVO (MOD) for investigation.

Under RTI Act, CPIO, CVO MOD informed that all complaints have been forwarded to Director, Vigilance & Security, DRDO for further inquiry and asked the consolidated report from DRDO vide their letter dated 04 August 2014.

Meantime, A FFIC was constituted by Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO to inquire the complaints against Dr. Saxena. The Fact Finding Inquiry Committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur on 13^th– 14^th, March 2014 for inquiry on the complaint submitted against Dr. Saxena. The said committee submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but no action taken by DRDO against Dr. Saxena, Director.

It is very surprising and interesting that Shri Avinash Chander again set up another four members Fact Finding Inquiry Committee under chairmanship of Dr. D.C. Pandey, Scientist ‘H’ LRDE and three members Sri Hari Babu Srivastava, Scientist ‘G’, Director, LASTECH, Sri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ and Sri R.S. Mehta, Joint Director. The said committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur recently on 9-10 July 2014. Therefore constitution of two FFIC by Shri Avinash Chander establishes that there were complaints against Dr. Saxena but to give him patronage and support the Shri Avinash Chander set up illegal FFIC. This second FFIC also submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but still no action against Dr. A.K Saxena took place by DRDO.

Interestingly, 31^st October in the eve of Vigilance week, Sh. R.S. Mehta, Joint Director, Vigilance, DRDO in his address mentioned to audience that how the corrupt practices adopted by Director, DMSRDE and his team in procurement cases.

Sir, it is not understandable that why Shri Avinash Chander constituted two fact finding committees? Why DRDO is silent on corruption cases of DMSRDE, Kanpur? Why Shri Avinash Chander is protecting Dr. A.K. Saxena?

In light of the above mentioned facts, it is requested that speedy action needed to save precious funds of poor tax payers. Dr A K Saxena openly using same corrupt practices in ongoing procurements cases. He told to his beloved team that Dr. V Bhujanga Rao, DG,NS&IC directed that left Rs 13 crores should be spend up to 31^st March 2015 positively.

माननीय श्रीनरेंद्र मोदी जी दिनाक 28 अक्टूबर 2014

साउथ ब्लाक नईदिल्ली -110011

विषय : 60 साल उपरांत सेवा विस्तार के नियम का विभिन्न संस्थानों द्वारा अयोग्य, अक्षम व्यक्तियों की संस्तुति कर दुरूपयोग करने के सन्दर्भ में

माननीय श्री प्रधानमंत्री जी आपने इस महत्वपूर्ण विषय में ध्यान देकर इस दुरूपयोग रोकने के लिए आदेश भी दिए परन्तु यह बड़े खेद का विषय है कि कार्मिक विभाग आपके आदेशो को समुचित प्रभाव से कार्यान्वित करने में ढीलम ढाल कर रहे।

डीआरडीओ के श्री अविनाश चन्दर, वैज्ञानिक सलाहकार द्वारा अयोग्य, अक्षम व्यक्तियों की संस्तुति करना लगातार जारी है। डी आर डी ई, ग्वालियर के निदेशक महोदय प्रोफ डा एम पी कौशिक जोकि इस 31 अक्टूबर 2014 को रिटायर हो रहे हैं वह अभी दिल्ली में श्री अविनाश चन्दर के चरण वंदना में लगे है कि किसी भी तरह उनको सेवा विस्तार दिला दे या फिर कोई चेयर, फेलोशिप, कॉन्ट्रैक्ट या कुछ भी दिला दो।

बदले में वो क्या कर सकते है उसकी एक झलक देखिये, एन बी सी वारफेयर के हेड होने के नाते डा एम पी कौशिक ने एक विदेशी यंत्र (ICAD Chempro100i Make: Environics) जोकि विषाक्त केमिकलो का तुरंत प्रभाव से पता लगा लेता था का आयात करा और उसकी गुणवत्ता को देख कर सेना ने 999 संख्या में 100 करोड़ रुपये की इस यंत्र की खरीद जोकि सामान्य से दुगनी से ज्यादा कीमत थी। यंत्र की सेना में विदेश से आप्पूर्ति के बाद पता चला है की यह यंत्र हमारे देश की क्लाइमेट कंडीशन के लिए उपयुक्त नहीं है और काम नहीं कर रहा।

इस यंत्र की बड़ी इतनी संख्या में बड़ी हुई कीमतों में खरीददारी से किसको फायदा मिला और कहां कहां तक बटा यह तो सिर्फ डा एम पी कौशिक ही बता सकते है।

ऐसे लोगो की सेवा विस्तार के लिए संतुस्ती आना ही एक गंभीर बात है। इस से संस्तुति करने वालो की मंशा व् नियत पर भी सवाल उठता है।

आपकी निरक्षण व् कार्यवाही के लिए कुछ तथ्य सलग्न है।

आशा है की इन तथ्यों की सपूर्ण जाँच करवा कर देश के बहुमूल्य पैसो का दोहन करने वालो के खिलाफ उचित कार्यवाही का जल्द से जल्द जाँच का आदेश देंगे।

धन्यवाद

Enclosed details: Purchase background of ICAD Chempro 100i,, Make: Environics

Budgetary Price approximately $9,500

Purchase Price – Rs 100000/- each in bulk purchase (more than $ 16000/each)

Army has purchased instrument ICAD Chempro 100i (Qty: 999 No’s, Make: Environics) against contract nos B/28704/NBC-4C/ICAD/GS/WE-6 Dated 23 Jun 2009 and B/28704/NBC-4C/Option/ICAD/GS/WE-6 dated 26 Mar 2010 for approximately 100 Crore (INR). This instrument detects the chemical warfare agents and is of utmost importance for the defence services. Having cleared the payment after the delivery, it was found that all these instruments failed to perform as per the specification and have technical problems. It is evident from the letter enclosed that performance related issues were raised in Nov 2012 and since then no action has been taken. Few officials are trying to cover up the issue by changing the specification instead of taking 100 Crore back.

As per the information gathered from the sources, these instruments were first purchased by M P Kaushik from DRDE Gwalior (A DRDO Laboratory and Nodal Agency in Chemical Warfare). Satisfactory working certificate were given to the company and payment was cleared. Later Army gave the contract. It seems that with the help of M P Kaushik few official of army has executed this act.
