Real Facts:  

1. File No. CIC/LS/A12011/000381

  1. Total amount invested on long term post graduation training program and PhD program under R & T scheme, and under Post Graduate Training (PGT) scheme of DRDO during period forApril 1990 – March 2010 under following heads
              i)        Adhoc advances

 3.    The Institution from where degree of MTech/ PhD was awarded from April 1990 – March 2010

4.  Total amount invested on short term training/ workshops/seminars/courses in India (Including DIAT/ITM/IIM’s/ IIT’s, NIT’s, ESCI, ASCI, IISc’s etc.) and abroad, during period from April 1990 – March 2010

         iii)     DA
5. Total number of Scientist resigned from April 1990 – March 2010

6.  Total number of scientist joined DRDO from April 1990 – March 2010

Why I asked this Information –

DRDO sends annually many officers for higher studies particulars to IIT’s and national Universities. The admission which granted normally after tough competitions are available to DRDO’s sponsored candidates was easily.

Aim of such higher studies is to use the academic platform to solve the complicate technical issues. DRDO in turn give the IIT’s or Universities sufficient grants against project and R&T schemes.

No one gets benefited neither the institutions nor the DRDO, it is because the most of the individuals after getting higher education working as admin, allied works, and  the reaction of this most of them leave the organization. For example Dr.DP Singh, Estate Manager, Scientist ‘F’ did his post graduation and PhDs from DRDO sponsoring and performing duty of admin purely non scientific assignment. Sh A.K Musla, Sc ‘F, holding post Joint Director Admin in IRDE, Dehradun, he also did his B.Tech and M.Tech from DRDO sponsored funds and working as purely in admin. I am quoting only two names as tip of the iceberg, because in DRDO you will find 100 of such cases. DRDO is shear wasting the corers and corers rupees public funds in the name of higher education programs. Although, the aim and object of the higher education program is really good, but in hands of bad corrupt officials, the output is wasting by DRDO.

According to the ministry, a total of 1,107 scientists, mostly young entrants, have resigned from the DRDO between 2003 and 2007, implying that on an average one person leaves every two days. 

What I have received

(a)          The amount spent on Long Term Post Graduation Training Programme during 2008, 2009 and 2010 –  6,38,33,535/-

(b)         The amount spent on PhD Programme under RT Scheme during 2008, 2009 and 2010 – 3,38,143/-

(2) File No. CIC/LS/A1201 1/000384

What I have asked in my RTI

The DRDO Awards Scheme, in its present form, was introduced in the year 1999 to motivate DRDO scientists, engineers and partners in industries and academic institutions in contributing for the cause of national security and self-reliance. The present Award Scheme, instituted by the Government of India, are therefore, meant to encourage DRDO scientists and our partners in the Private Sector Undertakings (PSUs), the private firms as well as the academic institutions in performing even better towards accelerating the pace of development of critical technologies, transfer of technologies from laboratories to industries as well as productionisation of the state-of-the-art defence systems

The Scheme consists of a total of 17 awards, out of which, 4 awards are given by the Directors of the concerned laboratories/establishments in recognition of outstanding contributions of their scientists and other supporting staff consisting of technical, administrative and allied cadres. The remaining 13 awards are decided at the DRDO HQrs for which nominations are called every year from all laboratories/establishments. The nominations are initially short listed by the Screening Committee under the chairmanship of the Chairman, Recruitment and Assessment Centre (RAC). The short listed nominations are, thereafter, examined by the Apex Committee for finalisation of the awards which also consists of two outside experts. These awards are normally given away by the Prime Minister of India on the “Technology Day” which falls on 11th May of every year.

In this connection it is requested to provide the following detail information

Total amount of investment made on DRDO awards  year wise from 1st April 1999 to till date 2010

i)           Total amount invested in arranging Award ceremony

ii)          TA/DA  on recipient of the awardees and spouse

iii)        All categories of all cash award by all Laboratories/Establishments and DRDO Hqrs. during period of April 1999 to till date. In following format

Why I asked this Information –

The awards given by Government of India like Padma Award, Shanti Swaroop Bhatnager Award etc all these awards are given with an aim to encourage/motivate/ recognize the contribution of individual recipients and therefore it carries a citation.

DRDO constituted its awards like Scientist of the year, Young Scientist awards, Technology Leadership Award etc. with the aim to inculcate a culture of hard work, dedication, scientific achievements, and technology breakthrough leading to the technology development for national security.

But the award given in DRDO, the mode of selection, the encouragement to the scientific team does not rely on the standards.

Different rules for different occasion or different rules for different officer, the motto of DRDO or the definition of DRDO is suitably implemented..

The public would like to know the manner DRDO spending nearly 2 crores of rupees annually to   these awards, the recipients does not know that he has been chosen for this award, there is no scientific presentation of technology. The recipients, are even unable to operate any scientific instruments  like network analyzer, spectrum analyzer etc because most of awardees scientist or technical personals are working as Director Management Services, Head Material Managements, Security Officer, Library In-charge, Works  In-charge and other suitable position from where they can feed their Akas(Boss).

If any one look in to the list of award recipients and analyses year wise, he will be find the most of citation actually not even justify the work or relation between award and awardees.

There is N number of examples available in various labs where most of awards were not justified; it is purely depending upon the Director’s choice. So nut shell DRDO awards are like ”Andha banten revari apne apne ko de” it is nothing doing with their contribution whether the awardees is related to technology or not. How come a person sitting in security, MT will entitled to get technology award, when DRDO having other awards for non technical working area.

It is really big question in front of country people?

Like in Kargil, one officer got gallantry award and later it was found that the fake encounter was staged for award. (Famous ketchup Colonel Case) 

Same tactics is adopted by DRDO they are distributing awards to their own boys with fake technology propaganda.

Since money belongs to poor tax payers, when Padama award citation are available to citizen of India then how can DRDO deny  give details in the name of schedule –II exemption.

One award Defence Technology Absorption Award is using by DRDO for giving color to their pet firms. Anyone can judge from the recipients list that these firms are really worth does these firms have any significant signature in field of respective industry like M/s Resins & Allied Products, Vijayawada. received this award from Honorable Prime Minister Sh Man Mohan Singh is   related to Dr. A. Subhananda Rao, CC R&D, Director, HEMRL)

What I have received

The total amount spent during 2008, 2009 and 2010 on the following Awards:

(a)                Agni Award for excellence in self reliance – ‘ 75 Lakhs

(b)                DRDO Award for Performance Excellence.- 60 Lakhs

(c)                 Scientist of the year Award — 60 Lakhs

(3) File No. CIC/LS/A12011/000385

What I have asked in my RTI

  1. How many technical paper were published by DRDO Scientists in International Journals like Journal of Applied Physics, IEEE Transactions, Proceedings IEEE, Transactions IEE, Electronics Letter, SPICE etc. from 1990 to March 2010?
  2. How many authors were awarded by DRDO for their contribution and keeping the flag of DRDO high
  3. How many such authors were assigned the administrative task to lead the DRDO Labs as Director and then CC R&D?
  4. How many such authors were left the DRDO during April 1990 to March 2010 period?

Why I asked this Information –

Almost 400 Corers of rupees are distributing through these boards and different DRDO projects to IIT’s, Universities’ and Colleges and even some NGO’s, in the name of  expanding and deepening the knowledge-base, Enhancing core competence in the field of knowledge, To encourage and provide funds for basic research in pertinent scientific disciplines etc.

The most of funds distributed till date to maximum private universities and private institutions and especially in last ten years out of total grants has gone to southern states. DRDO in its charter of duty has specifically mentioned Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to North East the equal opportunity will given to universities/institutions.

The DRDO is giving funding for various R&T projects with IIT’s, IIsc’s and various premier scientific institutions. In return DRDO sends annually many officers for higher studies particulars to IIT’s and national Universities.

The number of international papers can justify the real out of projects working with IIT, IIsc and other various institutions.

I am surprised that DRDO is deny for giving information related to paper publish in international journals, where is schedule-ii exemption is comes in between.

Information sought is already publish in journals, so why DRDO afraid to give information. It shows that DRDO is not respect for RTI Act 2005.

International publications are basically the most valuable achievement of any scientific institute /organization and it always proudly mentioned by each and every institute /organization.

What I have received

(a) Numbers of papers published by the Scientist of DRDO during last five years:

Journal of Applied Physics — Nil

Electronics Letters – Nil

(4) File No. CIC/LS/A1201 1/000386

What I have asked in my RTI

With Reference to Dr Prahlada, DS & CC R&D (Ae & SI)

  1.  After taking his charge as CC R&D at DRDO Hqrs, how many days he stayed in DRDO Hqrs up to 31st March 2010
  2. How many temporary duties to Hyderabad he had been with total stay at Hyderabad.
  3.  How much in total TA/DA he has drawn year wise from his joining as CC R&D at DRDO up to 31st March 2010.

With Reference to Shri  RC Agarwal, Director DEAL, Dehradun

  1. After taking his charge as Director DEAL, Dehradun , how many days he stayed in Dehradun up to 31st March 2010
  2. How many temporary duties to Bangalore he had been with total stay at Bangalore
  3.  How much in total TA/DA he has drawn year wise from his joining as Director, DEAL up to  31st March 2010.

Why I asked this Information

The information sought for is not related to end senior officer in his individual/personal capacity but in his capacity being a public authority.

Too frequent visit to a particular destination on Government expenses require to justify and as to how much it was beneficial to the organization and how much to the officer especially when he belongs to that particular destination. It appears that the permanent residence is his Hqrs and place of posting is a temporary duty station. The frequent move availability of the officer in the Hqrs. station may lead to problem of command and control and discipline, which may hamper the progress and led to undue delay and time and cost overrun to ongoing projects of DRDO.

In this particular case I requested the TD details of Dr. Prahlada, Appellate Authority, CC R&D (Ae & SI) & DS, who is staying C-7 Qutab Enclave, DRDO guest house since his posting to DRDO Hqrs, for him most of time he took his breakfast in his Hyderabad residence and lunch in DRDO Hqrs and evening for dinner he was again back to his Hyderabad residence. Please see his TD detail and then decide.

Second one is Shri  RC Aggarwal, Director DEAL, Dehradun, since his posting he use to out  from DEAL, Dehradun almost more than 250 days out of 365 days. How can the armed forces expect trustworthy products from these so called senior scientists?

There more 9-10 CC R&D and Directors who are belongs to Hyderabad and Bangalore and their families are staying Hyderabad and Bangalore respectively and they all are staying in DRDO guest houses they are giving their residence address in telephone directory at DRDO guest houses and enjoying HRA also. They are frequent fliers, they all are already break the Milkha Singh ‘s (Flying Sikh of India)  records and relishing without fear with TD with poor tax payers money.

What I have received

(a)          Visits of Dr. Prahlada on official duty during 2009 & 2010. Number of visits to Hyderabad – 22

(b)         Total amount of TA/DA drawn – 4,11,900/-

(c)          Visits made by Shri R C Aggarwal on official duty during 2007 to 2010. Number of visits — 26

(d)         Total amount of TA/DA drawn — 18, 23, 672/-

Date of Application  : 19th July  2011
Mailed on:   19th July  2011
by  speed post

4. Particulars of payment of filing fee:
Paid Rs.10/- by   Postal Order No. 90E 611227

5. Details of information sought:

1)      The official address of SF Complex (one of the labs/Establishment of DRDO), JAGDALPUR?

2)       Copy of D O part order or any other order regarding the place of reporting duty at Plant Girola Village which is 40 Kms away from Jagdalpur.

3)            Copy of   D O part order any other order in which the employees posted at SF complex

first they report to duty at SF Complex then report for duty at Girola Plant Site.

4)      The copies of movement order of transports which carries the employees daily to Girola plant site from SF Complex from 1/7/2011 to 15/07/2011

5)    The copy of fitness certificates of those vehicles which carries the employees daily to Girola plant site from SF Complex from competent authority.

Note: above required information is directly related to corruption and human right not come under schedule -II – why because it is noticed that without proper movement orders and without proper maintained vehicles the employees of SF complex are going daily at Girola plant. Earlier in one accident case it is heard that the movement order was made by SF Complex administration in back date to give financial benefits to the deceased family.

6. Particulars of Decision of CPIO:

Date of CPIO’s  Decision:9th August 2011

Date of receipt of decision by the appellant:12th August 2011

7. Brief facts of the case: 

The official address of SF Complex is “SF COMPLEX, AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING, JAGDALPUR-494001”. SFC Employees are given appointment letters with above address as reporting place. But, all are forced to report at the above address as well as at its work centre located at Girola village, Bakawand block, Bastar district. This location is completely out of 40 Kms away from municipality (Jagdalpur) of the official address.

As per rule they should report at the place of posting as per the appointment letter. But it is not so. Is it (forcing to report at other place) not violation of an employee’s right to report at the posting place? The management says that reporting place is at Girola and same time management says Airport terminal building, Jagdalpur. It is clear cut case of harassment of employees of SF Complex.

One example: one of the scientists, named Shri Kushal Sahoo, was killed in an accident near Bakawand last year while returning from the Girola site to Jagdalpur in Bolero vehicle. Bakawand police station filed FIR and accident report (can refer the same with the police station). When settling the case the DRDO HQs asked the official movement order to consider it as death while performing duty. As the movement order was not issued actually for him and few more travelling in the same vehicle they were also injured, management of SF Complex made a statement of case stating that “Kusahl Sahoo is travelling for the purpose of meeting at Airport Terminal Building, Jagdalpur office”.

If the travelling from Jagdalpur to Girola and back is official and as per the rule and the rule position should be clear for all for management, employees and the general public. After this accident all the staff of SF Complex Jagdalpur took a decision and reported at posting place only. This happened for two days and later management has interfered and threatened to them for report at Girola and told them if they will not report at Girola, will get termination letter.  Employees were forced to report at Girola. It is a violation of Human Right? Reporting at posting place is not correct? Then why appointment letters were given like that?  DRDO has to duty to provide them proper necessary papers as per rule position of Central Government.

The requested information is not come under 8(1) (a) and 24 (1) of the RTI Act at all because the information asked not in the nature of secrecy like The copy of fitness certificates of those vehicles which carries the employees daily to Girola plant site from SF Complex from competent authority. This the major concern of family and friends of employees of SF complex for their safety and well beings. For mere few thousand Rupees from contractors as bribe the Top DRDO officials playing with the life of SF Complex Employees.

The required information is fall under corruption and as well as violation human right and therefore in any means it is not come under schedule –II exemption of RTI Act 2005.

“RTI is a key instrument for imposing democratic values, accountability and transparency in our public administration,” Dr.Shah Faisal (IAS topper 2010 & RTI activist of J&K RTI Movement NGO) told Sakàl Times

12th August 2011

To
The Defence Minister
Room No -104, South Block
New Delhi – 110011

Reference: a)  Your letter No 1409-VIP/RM/2011 dated 21st March 2011

                    b)  Your letter No 1409-VIP/RM/2236 dated 20th May 2011                 

Honorable Sir,

As the chancellor of DIAT, Pune you have taken the decision to remove Dr. L M Patnaik but have decided to place Dr Prahlada who is yet another big corrupt DRDO official. Sources reveal that yesterday Fax order’s saying Dr L M Patnaik was terminated; it shows the situation (discipline) of high profile deemed Defence University.

  1. The selection of Vice Chancellor for DIAT is not done in accordance with the guidelines of Government of India, which is laid down for such prestigious appointments. Please refer the Gazette Notification No 146, Part-II, Section-4 –
  2. The Universities are Independent bodies and the university Vice Chancellor is the leader of an institution of higher education. According to the standard he / she must be a noted scholar (Dr.Parhalada rules to accomplish this?), who is responsible and excellent (Dr.Parhalada meet these criteria?), as well as the person who has high moral. (Who once said to an SC DRDO Scientist “you people are not born for higher studies”). Sir, you are very well aware of this incident of DRDO’s M Tech selection board. http://bit.ly/p20SwG
  3. He was posted as CC (R&D) in DRDO Headquarters in November 2005 and since then he was staying at C – 7 Guest House.  JCDA, R&D reveled in RTI response that he is drawing HRA as well. He has also attracted disciplinary action as in the CCS (CC & A) 1965 rules of action against Dr. Prahlada. Why not take steps to DRDO pending lawsuit against Dr. Prahlada. (RTI Enclosed for your ready reference)
  4. The working of DRDO is now in full swing corruption and nepotism. In Vice Chancellor for DIAT advertisement it was put on Internal Intranet DRONA of DRDO. It is 100% violation of recruitment rules for such higher post and the best part of this out of 7356 so called best scientists, only the most corrupt official was chosen. No patents, no international publications, no academic excellence was considered in the case of Vice Chancellor for DIAT.
  5. Sir, your image in the country is one of most honest persons and recently UPA Chairman; Smt. Sonia Gandhi had also shown her faith on you by delegating powers in absence of her. But in the cases of DRDO it is not understandable that why you are taking such lenient steps by allowing these corrupt scientists of DRDO to thrive in spite of receiving all the evidences against them. You simply believe that constituting a committee is the only way to handle the situation.

i)   The case of DLRL the complete documentary evidences are being submitted for                  your kind consideration. What happened to your letter I received in the following                  context — http://bit.ly/phH6vR

A committee constituted – Ms Shobha Verma, Addl Director, Mr Sashtri, Director                 Anurag Cell and Sh SL Badnikar, Director GAETEC. They recorded all                                 statements and submitted the report but nothing about corrupt officials of DLRL.

ii)   The Case of Sh T Mohan Rao against whom the FIR was registered and he                       spent one night in jail but next day he got the bail with the help of same lawyer                       who bailed out the supplier of GTRE Sh VN Narayan, representative of ILN                           Technologies. The question was raised by Honorable Member of Parliament Sh                  Navtej Singh Siddhu on 8th August 2011 but Joint Secretary replied that matter                    is sub judicious, Sh Mohan Rao was only removed from the Directorship of                           GTRE but has been attached with CEMILAC another Lab of DRDO in Bangalore. Sh T Mohan Rao even not informed his superior about his detonation officially and very next day he went to GTRE and made another Identity card from the security, as his mobile and identity card were seized by the police during interrogation. It is difficult to digest that such a high profile man enjoying extension of service without work and on the other side you only announced the removal in Commodore Sukhjinder Singh for Admiral Gorshkov similar case. Why so soft corners for DRDO corrupt officials?   http://bit.ly/p8m6Va http://bit.ly/qYJOzq

iii)    The case of Dr S K Vasudeva, working in contract in SPIC DRDO where plenty of unaudited funds are looted by corrupt officials, you already verified it with IB. the list of companies which were indulging in SPIC game is so lengthy and you are aware about it through the IB reports. Still the Dr S K Vasudeva is enjoying his status in SPIC while the new Director, Dr Satish Kumar is only puppet. The daughter of Dr S K Vasudeva, Ms Vinita just removed her stuff from the involved company’s premises few days ago. She is the owner of M V Grafix and her role is like Mrs Kanimozi in 2G Scam.

iv)   Irregularities being committed by Dr. Arun Kumar, DOP, DRDO Hqrs. in the matter of recruitment of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ ( A Group ‘A’ Gazetted Post in DRDO)  http://bit.ly/npjQ8X

An independent inquiry committee has been constituted in DRDO HQ, New Delhi Vide Directorate of Vigilance and Security Note No. DVS/02/2053/P/01 Dated 17Mar. 2011 regarding the acts of corruption committed by Dr. Arun Kumar in getting her daughter Ms. Swati Srivastava as Scientist ‘B’ in response to the advertisement no. 66 item no. 34 meant for stream of Biotechnology. Ms. Swati Srivastava did’t has MSC. in Biotechnology, but she had her MSC  in Environmental Biology. The concerned file no. is DRDO/V&S/ INQ- AK/2011. http://bit.ly/pFaMUe

Dr.Arun Kumar also manipulated in DRDO Official records, in the seniority roll of his daughter the information is as follows

Pin No           S.No.  Name                  Estt     DoB            Date of Appt.    Education      Discipline  2004AB1131    1542    Swati Srivastav   DIPAS  23/9/1981   1/7/2009           MSc(BiotTech)    Biotechnology

Why are your hands closed for taking any decisions to these most corrupt and anti-national official of DRDO or they are managing any deal like NTRO’s Dr MS Vijayraghwan.  http://bit.ly/mRpdU9

Sir, I am requesting you to please take appropriate action to restore the faith in DRDO’s best young talents otherwise they will leave this esteemed organization as more than 1200 scientist have done during the last three years.

Yours sincere effort is needed to clean the DRDO.

Thanking you

 Regard

CIC Decisions on RTI -4

Leave a comment

CENTRAL INFORMATION COMMISSION                                                                    Room No. 308, B-Wing, August Kranti Bhawan, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi-110066

Information Asked Regarding How many technical papers were published by DRDO Scientists in International Journals like Journal of Applied Physics, IEEE Transactions, Proceedings IEEE, Transactions IEE, Electronics Letter, SPICE etc. from 1990 to March 2010.

Why I asked this Information – Almost 400 Corers of rupees are distributing through these boards and different DRDO projects to IIT’s, Universities’ and Colleges and even some NGO’s, in the name of  expanding and deepening the knowledge-base, Enhancing core competence in the field of knowledge, To encourage and provide funds for basic research in pertinent scientific disciplines etc.

The most of funds distributed till date to maximum private universities and private institutions and especially in last ten years out of total grants has gone to southern states. DRDO in its charter of duty has specifically mentioned Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to North East the equal opportunity will given to universities/institutions.

The DRDO is giving funding for various R&T projects with IIT’s, IIsc’s and various premier scientific institutions. In return DRDO sends annually many officers for higher studies particulars to IIT’s and national Universities.

The number of international papers can justify the real out of projects working with IIT, IIsc and other various institutions.

I am surprised that DRDO is deny for giving information related to paper publish in international journals, where is schedule-ii exemption is comes in between.

Information sought is already publish in journals, so why DRDO afraid to give information. It shows that DRDO is not respect for RTI Act 2005.

International publications are basically the most valuable achievement of any scientific institute /organization and it always proudly mentioned by each and every institute /organization.

So deny of such information is not understand by RTI requester.

The reason of denial is following

Under the chairmanship of DRDO’s Appellate Authority, so called expert of DRDO Hqrs, DRDL, Hyderabad and DEAL, Dehradun met on 16th July 2010 at First Appellate Authority’s Office and decided not to give single information to RTI requester but only to reply to obstruct the giving of correct information to RTI requester they wasted lot of public money on TA/DA for said government officials who attended the said meeting from Hyderabad and Dehradun.

Camouflage of exemption under schedule –II of RTI Act 2005 has been deliberately taken to circumvent to deny the required information

The DRDO Appellate Authority Dr. Prahlada, CC R&D (Ae & SI) & DS have not given his residence address and contact details in any documents or website or any other public domain. It is therefore considered that he is staying in DRDO Bhawan itself.  The CPIO and FAA of DRDO Hqrs both are on their posting at DRDO Hqrs,   staying in DRDO Guest House and drawing HRA.

Who is to blame? – Part –II

1 Comment
Earth revolves round the Sun, Sun rises in the east, sets in the west, both truths are known to humans from the journey of civilizations. Copernicus and Kepler gave the theoretical justification of the above.
In DRDO the Scientists and Technologists also accept the above statements. But as soon as Scientists are given power of Director to lead a laboratory he forgets the above statements that is the Sun is fixed and Earth
revolves, he proposes a new theory after charge assumption as director DRDO, that Earth is fixed and Sun revolves round the Earth and he gives the justification that the Sun’s rotation Sunrises in east and sets in the west.
DRDO directors since beginning of DRDO remain on the post until they retires. As a result they declare themselves the king of a small kingdom. The absolute financial powers, the recruitment power, the demotion power, the demolition power,  he declares himself as unquestionable leader.
 He runs the laboratory and Scientific Adviser to RM feel that whatever is his decision, it must be within the constitutional provision.
As long as directors follow constitutional provisions and understand his responsibilities and accountability, there is no chance of failure in product development because we are having the best manpower in the world.
But the truth of DRDO lab’s director, the day he assumes the charge, immediately crushes / tear off  the whole effort of his predecessor by reorganizing the technical scenario of the lab.  He removes the technical heads, put his own loyal man in that position which may prove the lucrative, put those on whom he has confidence to deal with the financial irregularities can be easily manipulated. The commission and omission the transfer of funds to relatives and friends accounts in the name of via different schemes and grants or business association. Acquiring lands in the name relatives, established friends and relatives firms’s business with his lab  are the important key elements of new director’s in the first phase.  In second phase he plans the foreign trips at least covering five /six countries to study their development efforts in the particular area for which as per charter of duties the works under going on in his lab with hidden agenda to tie up personal links with foreign firms.
Third phase, he take the step to kill enthusiasm of those Scientists who are working from the soul of their heart by sidelining them from real task and assigning them to sundry task. Why because the dedicated scientist and workers never co-operate with his suppliers who are supplying low quality/low quantity stuff to DRDO’s prestigious projects. This is one of the major and foremost reason of delay and failure of DRDO’s project.
This crime remains unnoticed by DRDO Hqrs as the representations are bounce back to individuals. The total efficiency of the lab reduces to 25% and this antinational activity results in to short closing of the projects which has importance for the country defence.
DRDO recently short close 450 such projects. If total cost is considered it’s come in to thousands and thousands crores.
The items imported under such projects are thrown in to scrape and then a new item again procured, some time the gentleman who procured those scrap again supply the item/equipment under new package to DRDO itself and believe it, this is the common gimmick in DRDO. People don’t know because south labs products are supplied in north labs and north labs supplied to south labs, and sometimes item routed through even foreign country.
These things happen because directors are having financial and administrative powers for long period. Now with few years back directors to camouflage their these technical scientific gimmick in defence procurements, remove or degrade or sidelined the UPSC appointed admin allied people  who are well versed with proper procurement process which is duly approved by government of India. They appointed or designated their scientist as head material managements, director management services etc. it is nothing but only the game of corruption. If our government will not look in to this believe me, DRDO will never ever be able to deliver any reliable, trustworthy, indigenous product for our defence forces.
Had the directors been appointed for tenure of three years only on rotation to look after the administration task with standing order from President of India not to interfere the technical program and the program/project directors would have been the financial powers to their program/project requirements.
The DRDO might have written a new chapter on technology development.
The directors are real criminals who justify their failures, incompetence and poor leadership in the name of new technology.
Who is to blame????
