A senior scientist in the country’s premier defence research organisation DRDO, who has highlighted various irregularities and malpractices in the organisation, has served legal notice to the DRDO chief Avinash Chander for allegedly defaming him for taking a stand against corruption.avinashchander

Navin Prakash Gupta, a computer scientist working the Kanpur-based laboratory of DRDO, last month was transferred from Kanpur to Tezpur following his series of complaints to Central Vigilance Commission and the defence minister highlighting various irregularities in the department.

Following the transfer order, Gupta moved the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) for seeking stay on his transfer orders. In reply to his petition in CAT, the DRDO said, “Scientist NP Gupta has been vitiating the atmosphere in DMSRDE through his irresponsible behaviour and undesirable activities.”

Denying this, Gupta told dna over phone from Kanpur, “The allegation is full of imputation. There is no enquiry against me. Even no show cause notice was served to me in my entire career of 21 years. I am being harassed because I raised voice against corruption.” Gupta claimed that his transfer is laced with vengeance and motivated. Gupta has made at least 12 complaints to the corruption watchdog CVC including irregularities in procurement of chemicals and fabrics in the Kanpur-based DMSRDE (Defence Materials and Stores Research and Development Establishment (DMSRDE) laboratory. And CVC is conducting probe into his allegations and forwarded to the ministry of defence for detailed inquiry. “I have written about large scale malpractices and irregularities in procurement for the laboratory. Besides irregularities in procurements, top officials of the laboratory were giving out construction contracts worth lakhs of rupees to private vendors and individuals with aim to benefit them by violating all rules and regulations,” Gupta added.

When contacted Drdo spokesperson claimed that conduct of Gupta was not upto the mark over the years. “I could only say that conduct of Navin Gupta was not in order. Beyond this, we do not want to comment on the issue as it is pending in the court,” DRDO official said.

Meanwhile, Navin Gupta has decided to file a criminal defamation case against DRDO chief and head of directorate of personnel Dr AK Singh. “They have not replied to my notice. And now I’m going to file a criminal defamation case on them,” Gupta added.

His key complaints:
Irregularities in Rs 2 crore procurement of chemicals for DMSRDE
Irregularities in Rs 1.5 crore procurement of Dyneema Fabric
Irregularities Rs 46 lakh DMSRDE fume hood procurement
Rs 15 lakh procurement of scientific and technical books
Rs 2 crore procurement of of polydimathylsilane for Kanpur lab
Corruption in procurement of anti-virus of around Rs 4 lakh

Corruption Cases of Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur

To                                                                                                        Date 5th July 2014                  
Hon’ble
Shri Arun Jaitly,
Defence Minister,
South Block, New Delhi-110011

Subject: Corruption cases of  Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur

Sir,

Defence Materials and Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur is one of the establishments under Defence Research & Development Organisation. Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur with effect from 01 January 2011 and he is posted in DMSRDE, Kanpur since 28 April 1984. In past 30 years he developed deep connections with local vendors and after his appointment as Director since 01 Jan 2011, these pet vendors are playing major role in procurement of stores & items.

  1. As vigilant & patriot citizen of the country, I filed 12 complaints on issues of Corruption against Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE to CVC and Hon’ble Defence Minister with proofs. Details of complaints on Corruption against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena is enclosed as Annexure-1.
  2. CVC has informed me vide his various letter & sms that my all 12 complaints have been forwarded to CVO, Ministry of Defence but till date no action has been taken against Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena. Copies of letters from CVC are annexed as Annexure-2.
  3. Since copies of all these complaints were also sent to Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri but till date no action has been taken against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena by Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO.
  4. The two statutory rules viz CCS (Conducts) Rule 1964 and CCS (CCA) Rules 1965 have been framed by Government of India for maintaining good conduct and discipline. Under Rule 14, Government of India Order on “Inquiry Officers to be senior in rank to the officers enquired against” it is mandatory that inquiry officer –Chairman as well as all members Inquiry Committee should be one  rank senior to the officer whose conduct is being inquired into. This principle has been reiterated in CVC Vigilance Manual, Railway Manual, CPWD Manual and all other DOPT Manuals.
  5. Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri is giving patronage to corrupt practices of Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena and promoting corrupt officers in the organisation. One simple example of patronage to Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena by Shri Avinash Chander, DG R&D, DRDO is to constitute an illegal Fact Finding Committee in Jan-Feb 2014 for inquiring complaints against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. In this committee Shri SS Negi, Scientist ‘H’ was Chairman and Mr. Manoj Bali, Scientist ‘G’ and Shri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ was members. This Committee was totally illegal as Chairman was of equivalent rank and two members of FFC were very junior to Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. This establishes that Shri Avinash Chander, DG R&D, DRDO wilfully constituted an illegal committee for giving patronage & protection to corruption in DMSRDE, Kanpur by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. Intentions of Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO is very open to protect corrupt officer Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena by any means.
  6. This Fact Finding Committee took only one complaint out of my several complaints and gave false report despite FFC did not interact with me and all proofs were submitted along with complaints. That complaint was regarding procurement of ‘REACTOR. The said REACTOR was procured by DMSRDE in 2012 and REACTOR was supplied to DMSRDE in January 2013. Till date payment of said REACTOR has not been made to the vendor.
  7. In light of the above, in the interest of organisation, I kindly request you to take appropriate action against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE   and issue directives to CVO (MOD) to speed up the investigation on my complaints.

With kind regards,

DRDO Corruption – Modus Operandi example prevailing corruption in DRDO labs

To                                                                                                 11th June 2014

Subject: DRDO Corruption – Modus Operandi example prevailing corruption in DRDO labs

Honorable Sir,

  1. www.corruptionindrdo.com continues exposing the corruption/nepotism prevailing in DRDO since the last four years. DRDO’s honest officials send corruption inputs from all DRDO establishments and with help of RTI’s and from internet information, the corruption regularly passed to government and relevant agencies like CVC, IB, CBI etc.
  1. DRDO has a great and noticeable procurement culture. Rice exporter supplying sophisticated missile/high end parts or tent suppliers supplying rare chemicals or mostly cases the computer AMC holder become expert high end laser to xyz supplier.
  1. Almost a dozen corruption cases of Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), DRDO, Kanpur were submitted to CVC.
  1. CVC as a routine practice forwarded these complaints to CVO, MOD and MOD forwarded to CVO, DRDO.
  1. CVO, DRDO working under DG, DRDO, his ACR/APAR and career depends upon the hands of DG, DRDO. Secondly in DRDO the CVO assigned to Brigadier Ajay Gupta and it is observed that DG, DRDO used to pressurize his army channels through Lt. Gen who are posted in DRDO.
  1. In DMSRDE corruption case DG, DRDO made a Fact Finding Committee consisting all yes men. Not a single person from outside like PCDA, CGDA, CAG was included. The result was that the fact finding committee gave a clean chit to Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur as Dr. A.K. Saxena submitted affidavit to court that “ Fact finding committee has been constituted by DG, DRDO which has also not found any truth in any complaints”
  1. It is very heartening to know that if honest citizens contributing to Governments anti- corruption movement put all their strength, time, life at stake and some incompetent officials throw it in the dustbin. Besides, all complaints were submitted with all evidences.

Sir, once again without losing courage still submitting a complaint with evidence to CVC through your good office. Hope the matter will be taken seriously as everyone in this country remembers our “KARGIL WAR” and then General Malik uttered “casualties in the conflict could have been reduced had the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) “not come in the way”Jai hind!

Subject: Complaint againstDr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur regarding corruption in procurement of 227 Kg Polydimethylsilane (PDMS) costing worth Rs. 1,86,35,780.00 during the period 01.01.2011 to 31.12.2013 through M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur and M/s Paawavni Speciality Chemicals, Kanpur (both firms same owner) 

  1. DMSRDE procured 227 Kg Polydimethylsilane (PDMS) costing worth Rs. 1,86,35,780.00 during the period 01.01.2011 to 31.12.2013. The whole supply of PDMS was made by M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur and M/s Paawavni Speciality Chemicals, Kanpur. Both of the firms are owned by Mr. Manish Gupta & his family members. Copy of the details of procurement of PDMS in DMSRDE Kanpur supplied by M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur and M/s Paawavni Specialty Chemicals, Kanpur is enclosed as Annexure-1.
  1. PDMS is used as a precursor material for synthesis of Polycarbosilane and the whole amount of PDMS was procured under a project titled ST 12-DRM 552(IPHTA- Inorganic Polymers for High Temperatures Applications) for synthesis of Polycarbosilane from PDMS.
  1. Vide Govt. of India, Min. of Defence letter No. DRDO/DBFA/FA/83226/M/01/2031/D(R&D) dated 10 July 2010 Sub: Delegation of Financial Powers to Secretary Department of Defence(R&D), Chief Controllers(R&D) & Heads of Defence R&D Lab/Estt., the maximum limit for sanctioning of purchases under Open, Global or Limited Tender basis is up to Rs. 50 Lakhs. Copy of the letter is enclosed as Annexure-2.
  1. Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur planned the procurement cases in such a way that total cost of the Supply Order remain just below Rs. 50 Lakhs (the financial power of Director) and split the consolidated demands in small demands to keep the cost of Supply Order below Rs. 50 Lakhs.
  1. Total numbers of eight demands were raised from various indenters in DMSRDE for procurement of PDMS. Five demands in limited tender basis and two repeat orders and one in open tender. But the best part is whole exercise by fooling all laid down procurement system in all cases then  bagged by M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur and M/s Paawavni Speciality Chemicals, Kanpur (both firms same owner), it clearly shows the manipulation level of  DMSRDE officials.pdms demand1 pdms demand2 pdms demand3

7.     Criminal Conspiracy, gross violation & subversion of Purchase Management 2006 for Corruption took place in procurement of 60 Kgs PDMS by Open Tender Reference   Number DMSRDE/13552064 dated 13.06.2013. Details of the case have been mentioned in above Demand-8. Other details regarding conspiracy & Corruption in procurement are given below.

  • In tender reference No. DMSRDE/13552064 dated 13.06.2013 four vendors qualified in TPC/NC. These vendors were Manglam Traders, Kanpur, Paawavni Speciality Chemicals, Kanpur, Dhankar Enterprises, Kanpur and Polygon Solutions, Hyderabad. Out of these two firms Manglam Traders & Paawavni Specialty Chemicals, Kanpur is family firms of one man Mr. Manish Gupta.
  • The third firm Dhankar Enterprises bids for support for to the M/s Paawavni Speciality Chemicals   because M/s Dhankar Enterprises was registered at DMSRDE, Kanpur in year 2013   with registration number DMSRDE_013/02C/35_10L in category Chemical & Instruments with capacity of 10 Lakhs. This firm Dhankar Enterprises, Kanpur is registered with UP Commercial Tax Department with TIN 09645200799 dated 14/05/1998. This vendor is not registered for commodity name Chemicals. Copy of the complete report of Dhankar Enterprises , Kanpur from Commercial Taxes Department, Uttar Pradesh is enclosed as Annexure-3

Copy of the complete report of M/s Polygon Solutions, Hyderbad from Commercial Tax Department, Andhra Pradesh is enclosed as Annexure-4
  • The firms /vendors that are not registered under commodity CHEMICALS with Commercial Tax Department, then how do these vendors submit tenders under open tendering for specialized strategic chemicals rarely available in India.
  • All supply order placed to M/s Manglam Traders and its family firm M/s Paawavni Speciality Chemicals.
  • TPC/NC Minutes- External Rep was not present and Chairman TPC/NC was Scientist ‘F’ but as per Corrigendum year 2011 , the Chairman of TPC/NC should be Sc’G’/Director in cases above 50 lakhs

  • It is requested to kindly check the import list of M/s Mangalam Traders because Polydimethylsilane is a rare chemical not manufactured in India, from where and what cost M/s Mangalam Traders managed the supplied Polydimethylsilane.
  • It is also requested that please check whether supplied chemical is as per required specification or not because once the supply of   M/s Mangalam Traders was rejected on the basis of specification by indenter Sh.J. N. Srivatava (Demand No.: DMSRDE/13PPD010) and after that Dr A K Saxena made a committee and same supply was accepted.
  • By the facts stated above, it is amply crystal clear that prima facie material regarding Abuse of Authority by corrupt Dr. A. K. Saxena, Director DMSRDE exists.
  • In view of the above mentioned facts and evidences it is earnestly requested that an order for thorough investigation of all procurement done under patronage of  Dr. Arvind Kumar  Saxena after assuming charge as Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur to stop further corruption and wastage of poor tax payers money.

Dr. A K Saxena’s justification regarding Corruption of DMSRDE

To                                                                                                                          2nd June 2014
Dr. V Bhujanga Rao
DG (NS&M)
NSTL Campus Vigyan Nagar
VISHAKHAPATNAM –AP-532007

Subject: Complaint for irregularities in procurement of High Temperature Reactor dated 24th Dec 2013 to SA to RM, CVC, Defence Minister.

Reference: Dr. A K Saxena’s justification letter to you dated 22nd January 2014 on the above subject matter.

Dear Sir,

I have gone through the clarification of Dr. A K Saxena’s letter to you dated 22nd January 2014 on the above subject matter.

I am really shocked to see your concern and observations on corruption, although I once again am trying to convince as I belief that every human has honesty inside but needs to search for it within.

You will agree with me that whether Dr. A K Saxena’s involved and cooked the above procurement in an illegal manner or not.

In Point 2 he is writing in the above reference letter that “Never discussed, it is a false statement”

Dear Sir,

The line diagram attached is not exactly as per their offer, they have forwarded us            understand it will be somehow like the same.

As per our line of requirement they will send us in 2 to 3 days.

Regards

Anish Gupta

  • DMSRDE_Techno-Commercial_Reaction-unit -50lit-1.pdf
  • IPID0022.pdf

After seeing this mail you and I both have to accept that if Dr. Saxena is right then Mr. Anish Gupta has the supernatural power to know what the requirements of Project DRDM-552 are.

Dr. Saxena asked to file a complaint against me for spying. Actually it should be filed against Dr. Saxena’s  close friend and associate Mr. Anish Gupta, Partner of M/s Magalam Traders, Kanpur who is not only involved in this reactor case but several other procurement cases of DMSRDE like sample case-

Demand No. DMSRDE/13552009 for “Laboratory Microprocessor Based Programmable High Temp.Furnace” Item procured from M/s Omega Furnace Industries Bangalore, Item was duly supplied byfirm on 27th September 2013 vide RIN No 14LP0149 after all procurement process.

Like SPC, TEC, TPC 16th Jan 2013  etc, but suddenly M/s Manglam Traders comes in front and a review TPC was done,  under Chairmanship of  Dr. Sarfaraz Alam, Sc’G’              

para two of review TPC                                                                                                    

Now, the firm M/s  Omega Furnace Industries, Bangalore has intimated that billing and supply of stores will be done by their local dealer M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur, vide letter of even no dated September 24, 2013”

Para three of review TPC                                                                                                  

“The finance rep told that the stores have been supplied by M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur. Hence, the payment may be made to M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur”

Para four of review TPC                                                                                                       

“ In view of aforesaid TPC recommends the following

For-Supply the stores & payment may be made to M/s  Omega Furnace Industries, Bangalore Read-Supply the stores & payment may be made to M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur

Sir, now tell me what else you want? As shown above, how does M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur come in the picture? It is because of his supernatural power capabilities which are common phenomena of DRDO labs. Everyone knows the Director’s favorite vendors have super powers of respective Labs. They can interfere in any procurement case even if it is highly sophisticated missile parts or nuclear stuff or unattainable chemical (सुई से लेकर हाथी तक) etc.

Now the second proof which can expose the mechanism of corrupt practices adopted by Dr. Saxena’s friend with super powers is that he sent two mails to Sh. J N Srivatva, Sc ‘F’s mail id jn_sri<jn_sri@rediffmail.com the indenter on Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:16:54 IST from mail id Anish Gupta<mangalam26@bsnl.in Subject: SUPPLIERS LIST in first mail he send list of 7 vendors for limited tender call for reactor procurement case and best part is that he highlighted the name of 5th supplier i.e. M/s De Dietrich, Andheri (E) Mumbai-400072, in second mail dated Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:24:33 IST  Subject: AADITIONAL SUPPLIERS LIST with same mail id sent list and address of 4 more suppliers. Out of 11 names Sh J N Srivatava invited quotations from 8 firms provided by Mr.Anish Gupta, Partner, Ms Mangalam Traders. Surprisingly the name Ms Mangalam Traders was not in the list.

Sir, Mr. Anish Gupta, Partner, Ms Mangalam Traders acted honorary consultant for Project DRDM-552, it will be very nice if you recommend the name of Ms Mangalam Traders for 2014

Defence Technology Absorption Award” and he will receive this award from Honorable Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi Ji likes M/s Resins & Allied Products, Vijayawada received this award from Honorable Prime Minister Sh. Man Mohan Singh. The firm is related to Dr. A. Subhananda Rao, then CC R&D, Director, HEMRL.

It also covers his point no. 3 that “I have never sent any mail to Mr Anish” he forgot that I have never claimed in my complaint that Dr. Saxena had sent any mail to Mr. Anish. It is the frustration of Dr. Saxena so he is writing blah blah.

In same para he wrote that “How he got access of my email account.” It is very strange that if he totally denies of such communication of mails then why is he worrying about the mail access?In

In Para 6 I think Dr A K Saxena never gone through the letter of Sh S K Deb regarding Delegation of Financial Powers to Secretary Department of Defence (R&D),Chief Controllers (R&D) & Heads of Defence R&D Lab Estt No. DRDOIDBFAIF A/83226/M/OI /2031 /D(R&D) dated 30 July 2010.in which it is mentioned the power of Heads of Defence R&D Lab is Upto Rs 10 lakhs – Without consultation of Finance and Above Rs.l 0 lakhs and upto Rs.5 crores – With Concurrence IFA, Dr A K Saxena forgot that he is writing to his DG, who knows the financial power of a Director of Lab. As Dr A K Saxena wrote “ it range from 1 lakh to 5 cr with or without concurrence of competent authority” for justifying the split of procurement – bogus justification.

In Para 7 of his letter he quoted that”On my visiting card my e mail is written so any one who is having it can use” Dear Dr. A K Saxena in the computer era the mail generated by any one or sending to any one can be traced easily. Please allow DRDO or NTRO or NIC experts to prove the mail which you have received from Mr. Anish Gupta and duly forwarded to Sh. J N Srivastave are fabricated. I think someone has told you that if you format your computer nobody can prove that you have received a mail from Mr. Anish Gupta. Dr. A K Saxena if Dr. Bhujang Rao believes in national interest or faith in Sh. Modi ji’s mission to eradicate corruption from India then it is a matter of minutes and Google Gmail will provide all data of your Gmail account to the government of India and it is a common practice that Google has already mentioned from time to time on the request from various country.

Sir, it clearly proves the corruption on his side.

Although, it was a proven fact that corruption was done in this case, and many other cases which I have already submitted to competent authorities, I want to offer you or your rep if they want see the documentary evidences on this procurement. I will always welcome DRDO representatives or any government agencies.

Rest what else he has written to his above refer letter has nothing to do with justification of corruption. It is only to misguided to accounts people by using word like it is the only one which we have designed and developed in the first time in the world and blah blah or as he quoted “It is developed reactor based on our requirement not a market item” Dr. Saxena forgot in the age of Internet Era his son can understand that his father is fooling the whole nation in the name of technology.

The website www.corruptionindrdo.com’s sole mission is to eradicate corruption, nepotism and favoritism in DRDO.

Again, I believe that you will understand that Dr. A K Saxena is involved neck deep in corruption, but I do not believe the input of the fact finding committee because on the basis of evidences a blind man can smell the corruption but specially such a honest Chairman Dr. S S Negi closed his eyes for his future to become Director of IRDE or DEAL.

Now you throw ball in the court Dr. D C Pande, Sc H, LRDE for final enquiry, but it is unconstitutional that you are giving spare time to Dr. A K Saxena for cleaning his mess.

Sir, the corruption stains are same as blood stains because this kind of corruption by senior DRDO officials is compromising our national security. If it will not be checked properly, then in a situation like KARGIL WAR, DRDO will again have to be ready to listen to statements like than General Malik’s just after KARGIL WAR in reference with DRDO’s role.

An early action requested to eradicate corruption and again I am ready to support with evidences or if you feel I am also ready to face Dr. Saxena’s desired inquiry against me. It is always welcome by me as I have dedicated my life to the nation.

Fight Against Corruption prevailing at DMSRDE, Kanpur – Act of Desperate D G DRDO

To                                                                                              20th May 2014
Sh Avinash Chander,
DG DRDO, DRDO Bhawan,
Rajaji  Marg, New Delhi-110105

Dear Sir,

This website has been reporting the several cases of corruption/ nepotism and anarchy against SC/ST and weaker section of the society prevailing in DRDO.

The legacy followed from early 80’s has shown that instead of to counter the corruption / nepotism the top brasses of DRDO has carved out a mechanism to disseminate the whistle blowers.

The whistle blowers of DMSRDE, Kanpur who had been helping the DRDO Hqrs to keep an eagle eye on corrupt practices of senior officials and Director of DMSRDE has been served transfer orders to Timbuktu.

DRDO Hqrs thinks the transfer order is a only weapon to solve the problem and divert attention from corruption, but those days are over now.

Sh R P Bhat, Scientist ’F’ and Sh Naveen Prakash Gupta, Scientist ’C’ both were awarded transfer order on 19th May 2014 afternoon and immediately relived on account of their fight against corruption of Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

The transfer shows that DRDO Hqrs is deaf and dumb and bunch of corrupt officials who are protecting corrupt officials of DMSRDE are not able to hear the Modi’s Hunkar against corruption. The clear mandate by 125 crores people of India for eradication of corruption and corrupts only.

In similar case Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II, LASTEC, DRDO, Delhi, who exposed the corrupt practices of Dr A K Maini, Director, LASTEC.  Sh Prakash Singh was dismissed by service on the wrong feedback of Dr A K Maini.  Defence Minister noticed the truth and reinstated Sh Prakash Singh and ordered high level inquiry against corrupt officials. To avoid the consequences of investigation Dr Maini took the VRS and the current position of the case is on your table as CVO, MOD was not satisfied with DRDO Hqrs reply in Dr Maini’s case.

The same bunch of officials of DRDO Hqrs who suggested the termination of Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II is instrumental in recent transfer orders of DMSRDE scientists. You very well know the then DG Dr V K Saraswat did not apply his mind in Sh Prakash Singh’s case and trusted those bunch of flatterers and result he was out unceremoniously and CBI sword is also hanging.

Sir, if at all you can prove your worthiness, please gives your reaction in turn help the organization.

With warm regards

Corruption in purchasing of microwave calibration kits in DMSRDE.

To                                                            12th May 2014

Subject: Corruption in purchasing of microwave calibration kits in DMSRDE.

1.       Dr. T C Shami, Scientist ‘F’, Head SMG, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur 

2.       Dr. A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur 

Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur is an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Min. of Defence, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi.

DRDO’s Director Material Management distributed to all Labs & Establishments a manual named “DRDO Purchase Management -2006” which was duly approved by President of India and with the concurrence of Ministry of Defence (Fin/R&D) vide their ID No 752/IF (R&D) dated 20 March 2006.

Dr.T C Shami had a microwave network analyzer make – Agilent Technologies, Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). A network analyzer, like most electronic instruments requires periodic calibrationtypically this is performed once per year and is performed by the manufacturer or by a 3rd party in a calibration laboratory. When the instrument is calibrated, it will usually have a sticker fixed to the outside, stating the date it was calibrated and when the next calibration is due. A calibration certificate will be issued.

A number of verification kits are available to verify the network analyzer is performing to specification. These typically consist of transmission lines with an air dielectric and attenuators. The Agilent 85050 kit includes a 7 cm airline. (Image of Agilent 85050 kit and specifications are enclosed)

This Agilent 85050 calibration / verification kit list (budgetary current price – US $ 10500/-)

Agilent 7mm Precision calibration kit  

The Agilent 85050C precision mechanical calibration kit contains precision calibration standard devices (including an airline) to characterize the systematic errors of Agilent network analyzers in the 7 mm interface. This kit also contains adapters to change the sex of the test port, connector gages for verifying and maintaining the connector interface, and a torque wrench for proper connection. Included are standards definitions on disk.

  DC to 18 GHz frequency range                              

Calibration standards to perform full two-port calibration

Precision 50 ohm airline for Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL) calibration

Torque wrenches for properly connecting standards

Adapters to change the sex of the test port

Standard definitions on disk for loading into network analyzer

It is observed that as a Head SMG, DMSRDE Dr.T C Shami, Scientist ‘F’, floated tenders in different mode for procuring microwave calibration kits since 2009 using different nomenclature. shami case table1

Throughout world any organization, govt. or private or technical educational institute if they required calibration their measurement equipment they approached nodal agencies for calibration or if they have budget then purchased single unit. In above case the DMSRDE, Kanpur purchasing so many calibration kits with using different nomenclature.

Dr.T C Shami raised demand almost every year for Agilent 7mm Precision calibration kit ( Model no. 58050C) from  Agilent Technologies but purchase not metalized for unforeseen reasons.

After that the   calibration kits     C band (3.95-5.85GHz) waveguide  & WR284 -S band(2.60-3.95 GHz) calibration kit  was purchased in limited tender from  M/S Surabhi International , 60/43, HAMRAJ COMMERCIAL CENTRE, NAYAGANJ, Kanpur – 208001. Military Tent, Yarn, fabric, vest & bulletproof jacket suppliers. The information available in public domain related to M/S Surabhi International is enclosed which is self explanatory.

Recently Dr.T C Shami raised demands vide No DMSRDE/ 14SMG044 for WR284 -S band(2.60-3.95 GHz) calibration ki t &  Tender floated on 05/03/2014 and due date is 9th May 2014.

  1.  Dr.T C Shami purchased microwave calibration kits since 2009 using different nomenclature and in process of procuring calibration,

i.            Question is this microwave calibration kits are consumable items?

ii.            Every year Agilent Technologies Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) need brand new calibration Kit?

iii.            Is same practice is following by other DRDO labs who are working in the field of microwave like, DEAL, DRDL, RCI,DLRL, LRDE, CARE, CABs, ADE and so on.

iv.            Is DMSRDE extending this calibration facility to all other organization like HAL, IIT etc as revenue generation under resource management scheme?

v.            Or Dr.T C Shami is calibrating Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) by every time shield pack new calibration kit in the manner of use & throw. (typically this is performed once per year)

vi.            Or money is flowing in DMSRDE, Kanpur

2.  As per microwave expert this kind of regular procurement shows that the regular procurement of shear wastage of precious foreign currency. 

3.  Procurements of such delicate microwave precision calibration kits should be from Agilent Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz, Maury Microwave Corporation etc or its authorized dealers not from fabric & tent suppliers again raised big question.

4.  Dr T C Shami purchased C band (3.95-5.85GHz)waveguide  & WR284 -S band(2.60-3.95 GHz) calibration kit  in limited tender from  M/S Surabhi International Pvt. Ltd 60/43, HAMRAJ COMMERCIAL CENTRE, NAYAGANJ, Kanpur – 208001. Who deals with Military Tent, Yarn, fabric, vest & bulletproof jacket suppliers. The information available in public domain related to M/S Surabhi is enclosed which is self explanatory.

5.   M/S Surabhi International is registered at DMSRDE with Registration No.  DMS/26/27. This firm is registered in category Chemicals & Polymers.

6.   M/S Surabhi International have two more support family firms M/s Pee Cee Textile Stores and M/s Mishra Trading Company.

7.   M/S Surabhi International has also supplied a very specialized microwave component Double Ridge Microwave 18-40 GHz Horn Antenna with Carrying & Shipping Case vide Demand No.: DMSRDE/11SMG125, Dated: 07 Sep 2010 costing Rs 4,25,000.00. The modus oprendi was same limited tender.

8.      Initiating Officer(Indenter) : Himanshu Bhushan Baske, Scientist ‘D’  working under Dr T C Shami

Tender No. – DMSRDE/11 ATT104/CMS-II dated 11 June 2010
Supply  Order No. – DMSRDE/ 11AT0115 dated 24 Sept 2010
Supply Order Cost – 855500.00
DP – 10 Jan 2011
Supplier : M/S Surabhi International

 9.   In search of corruption in DRDO, it is observed that DRDO is helping our traders in very big way to educate them high technology fundas, the Pan wala where scientist use to purchase pan become supplier of high-tech components, the IB report revealed the rice exporter friend of Dr A S Bains, Ex Director, DEAL, DRDO, Dehradun become high-tech 35 GHz satellite terminal component suppliers, in Hyderabad the wedding mundapam owner become missile components suppliers. The same practices being are followed by DMSRDE, Kanpur, the chemical suppliers/ fabrics suppliers suddenly became microwave components supplier.

10.   Last but not least it is unethical and unauthorized suppliers are supplying the items at exorbitant prices and some time used and refurbished items are also supplied, it happens because of close proximity with indenters and director of lab. 

11.   It is requested CVC please do physical verification of above calibration kits  in DMSRDE premises with serial numbers verified from manufacture, because today all big multinational companies maintaining the data base. Anyone can verify with serial number, who was the first buyer of the item, is it brand new or refurbish etc.

12.    In the case of these calibration kits Agilent Technologies main supplier company and the Maury Microwave Corporation is the manufacture.

13.    In view of the above mentioned facts and evidences it is earnestly requested that an order for through investigation of all procurement done by  Dr T C Shami after assuming charge as Head, SMG DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur to stop further corruption and wastage of poor tax payers money.

A PM who paid when sons used official car – What about Dr A K Saxena’s, Director, DMSRDE Kanpur family picnic trip in Lal batti Staff Car

The Day After News

At a time when Indian politicians make news for corruption and misuse of power comes a book on Lal Bahadur Shastri, the country’s second prime minister who was so upright that he deposited money in government coffers because his sons had used his official car.

The incident has been captured in the book “Lal Bahadur Shastri: Past Forward” (Konark) by his son Sunil Shastri, a Congress politician and a former minister in Uttar Pradesh.

Sunil Shastri says he used to imagine having a big luxury car commensurate with the status of his ‘babuji'(father) and Lal Bahadur Shastri did get a Chevrolet Impala for official use.

“One day I told babuji’s personal secretary to ask the driver to bring the Chevrolet to the residence. We asked the driver for the keys and went for a drive,” he says in the book.

Lal Bahadur Shastri later confronted the driver, saying, “Do you keep a logbook with you?” “When he nodded, babuji asked him to note the distance the car had run the previous day. When the driver said 14 km, he advised him to note it ‘for private use’ and then asked amma to give his personal secretary the amount applicable to be deposited in the government account.”

——————————————————————————————

DR A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE is king of corruption as e-mails from M/s Mangalam to him exposed his relation with suppliers and as well as his modus operandi in procurement cases.

Our country proud of having such great Prime Minister and other way very unfortunate having such corrupt DRDO scientist who is heading such important Defence Establishment.

Subversion of Rules and Violation of CCS Conduct Rules 1964 by Dr. Trilok Chand Shami, Scientist “F” of DMSRDE, Kanpur

To                                                                                                         12th April 2014

Defence Minister
Room -104, South Block
New Delhi – 110011

SUBJECT : Subversion of Rules and Violation of CCS Conduct Rules 1964 by Dr. Trilok Chand  Shami, Scientist “F” of DMSRDE, Kanpur

Sir,

  1. Defence Materials and Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur is an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Min. of Defence.
  2. Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Director, DMSRDE on 01st January 2011. Right from his joining he is involved in various kinds of Administrative and Financial irregularities that have led to massive Corruption. More than ten complaints have been registered by Central Vigilance Commission at New Delhi based on the veracity and the prima facie.  In all these illegal activities, he is assisted by number officers like Mr. Shilendra Kumar, Dr. D N Triphai, Mr.  Amit Sarayia, Mr. A K Singh and Dr. Trilok Chand Shami. His behaviour towards officers and staff is absolutely shameful. On smallest pretext he prosecutes some ones and lets off his pets of his caste on grave violation of rules.
  3. Under Rule 5 of the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964, which inter alia prohibits Central Government servants from canvassing or otherwise interfering with, or using their influence in connection with or taking part in, an election to any legislature or local authority subject to the exercise of the right of franchise and assisting in the conduct of an election in the due performance of a duty imposed on them by or under any law for the time being in force.
  4. Further, DOPT Letter No.1101 3/08/2013 – Es tt.(A )- III, dated 6th June, 2013 clearly states that As such submission of representations directly to higher authorities by- passing the prescribed channel of communication, has to be viewed seriously and appropriate disciplinary action should be taken against those who violate these instructions as it can rightly be treated as an unbecoming conduct attracting the provisions of Rule 3 (1) (iii) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964.
  5. Dr. Trilok Chand Shami, Scientist “F” of DMSRDE is another corrupt officer with least regards to rules and regulation. In his letter dated 19th January 2011, he has committed a grave mistake by writing a DO letter (enclosed as Annexure-I) to a political leader namely Shri Satpal Maharaj, MP. Every Govt. employee has to be apolitical and no Govt. employee can communicate directly or indirectly to any political party or a political leader.
  6. Since Shri Avanish Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri is taking no action against Dr. AK Saxena, Director, DMSRDE and his corrupt officers, I therefore request you that the provisions of unbecoming conduct be invoked in respect of Dr. T C Shami, Scientist “F” and a charge sheet be issued under the provisions of Rule 3 (1) (iii) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964.

It is requested that kindly take appropriate action as per provision of Rule 3 (1) (iii) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964.
