Subject: The Recruitment Assessment Center, DRDO now become den of corruption.

Sir,

When GOI gave approval to DRDO for Recruitment Assessment Center with the intention in 1984 that DRDO mission mode project will not suffer because of shortage of manpower.

Passage of time now Recruitment Assessment Center become den of corruption and the reason GOI approved this recruitment system get no result. Recently parliament witness that all core DRDO project are running unprecedentedly behind the schedule.

The numbers of complaints received against DRDO recruitments by MoD in past 10 years is clear cut evidence of RAC manipulations. Ex. Defence Minister already gave approval for CBI inquiry against 10 top DRDO scientists including two former DG. Unfortunately accused DRDO, DG, Dr. V K Saraswat who are also convicted by Madras High court also enjoying state minister post as permanent member in NITI Ayog.

Sir , please find the another example of Dr.A K Singh’s manipulation in recruitment of scientist. Today website received this letter and forwarding you for appropriate action to save premier defence organization from the clutches of corrupts.

Jairam Ramesh’s pet project ‘Bio-toilet’ stands abandoned in Odisha

April 28, 2015 Prabhu 3 Comments

By Hemant Kumar Rout – BALASORE/BHADRAK Published: 14th August 2012 11:45 AM
Union Minister for Rural Development, Drinking Water and Sanitation Jairam Rameshs’s ‘India Dream’ to free the country – the rural populace in particular – from open defecation, seems to have faced a setback with people unwilling to use DRDO made Bio-toilets raising a stink.

**Villagers have blamed the DRDO for poor quality installation work near Dhamarai temple as one portion of the toilet has depressed and its fiber body disfigured. Express photo.**

After launching the bio-digesters in Odisha’s Dhamra village, close to Wheeler Island from where India test fires its all long range missiles, the Minister on June 24 even called it no less important than the Agni missiles. Today, the bio-toilets stand abandoned. The villages are reluctant to use it claiming that they lack required facilities.

The e-age toilets were formally launched at a glittering function by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in association with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) at Dhamra in Bhadrak district.

**The toilets are so small and air-tight that a person feels suffocated after a few minutes. There is no system for air circulation, says villagers. PTI photo**

While initially at least six bio-toilets, christened as eco-friendly loo (ELoo) were installed in five villages in Dhamra and Basudevpur areas, the DRDO had assured to install more such toilets along the 90-km Jamjhadi-Dhamra stretch. Though the DRDO claimed that these toilets were opened for public use after their successful trials in Siachen and Jammu and Kashmir, people here are not ready to buy it.

Malati Majhi, a villager from Dhamra said the toilet installed in the village lacks water supply and proper ventilation. “It does not have a window or a space for ventilation. As the inside area is inadequate, it is difficult to sit there. The toilet was used only for a couple of days after their installation. We don’t use it now for its stinking smell,” she said.

The Minister too had expressed his dissatisfaction over the lack of ventilation facilities in these toilets during the inauguration. The loos are so small and air-tight that a person feels suffocated after a few minutes. There is no system for air circulation as these are fully covered with fiber body.

The technology used to develop the bio-toilets is anaerobic processing system that treats excreta, typically with small volumes of flush water. This is usually a better process than the aerobic decomposition, which requires supply of oxygen either as compressed air or by agitation and process culminates into water and CO2.

The Bio-digester technology has been developed by Gwalior based Defence Research and Development Establishment (DRDE) and Tezpur based Defence Research Laboratory (DRL) which claimed the ELoos can effectively function in extreme conditions and temperature ranging from – 6 degree C to 50 degree C.

As per the claims of the DRDO, there is a bio-digester underneath where the temperature is maintained at 5 to 30 degree Celsius and the Psychrophile bacteria break down the waste. There is no foul smell, disease-carrying organisms or solid matter. The bio-gas is released into the air continuously and the residual liquid can be drained without any ill effect.

A local Bikartan Behera said no such degradation is done here. “Every time bad smell is coming out from the toilet making it unviable for use. People have to carry water from a faraway place to use the toilet, which is not possible always. The facilitator needs to equip the toilet with water supply,” he said.

The villagers also have blamed the DRDO for poor quality installation work near Dhamarai temple as one portion of the toilet has depressed and its fiber body disfigured. A retired defence employee N K Sahu said the bio-toilets were first tried between 1993 and 1998. However, systems failed because of foul smell, breeding of cockroaches and flies, maintenance requirement, need for daily addition of bio-enzymes.

“But now though the DRDO claims to have used the bacteria Psychrophile in the toilets, but the loos should be made user friendly with spaces for ventilation and round-the-clock water supply. Or else it would be left unused,” he said.

Local defence officials though admitted the shortcomings in these toilets, but none agreed to comment on it. They said all the problems would be sorted out soon and more toilets installed in the area to curb the habit of open defecation.

‘Army Takes a Day to Reach where PLA Can Rush In’

By Express News Service Published: 28th April 2015 06:00 AM
NEW DELHI: Commenting on poor border roads connectivity, a Parliamentary panel has said that in the event of a war, the Army will take more than 24 hours to reach a border area where the Chinese PLA can arrive at in two or three hours. The Standing Committee on Defence, expressing serious concerns over connectivity to Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang area, hit out at the Border Roads Organisation and asked it to construct good roads, especially on the eastern front facing China, on a priority basis.

The report said the delay in the procurement process had affected the armed forces’ operational preparedness.

The Committee observed that the naval budget had declined from 18.14 percent in 2006-07 to 16.51 percent in 2015-16.

Raising the issue of repeated naval accidents, the panel said the promulgation of the standard operating procedure to check the spurt in accidents was “ineffective”. The panel observed that allocation for the IAF is approximately 70 percent of the projection.

The report also slammed the ministry over the gap between the sanctioned strength of active fighter aircraft squadrons and their actual number.

The report said that the position of expenditure up to the end of February 2015 for the Army, Navy and the IAF is Rs 14,843,37 crore, Rs 18,438.02 crore and Rs 29,682 crore against their revised estimates of Rs 21,933.54 crore, 18,507.07 core and Rs 33,710.68 crore respectively.

Revamp DRDO

The Parliament Panel on Defence has called for a “complete revamp” and reorientation of the Defence Research Development Organistaion DRDO) to allow active participation of the private sector. It stressed on the need for a “complete revamp and reorientation of how the DRDO functions” with a major suggestion being to encourage the active involvement of the private sector, universities, the IITs and IIS. They could play a major role in the resurgence of the DRDO, it added.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Scientist Alleges Harassment, Knocks on PMO Doors

April 27, 2015 Prabhu 8 Comments

by Sharan Poovanna Published: 27th April 2015 06:02 AM The New Indian Express
BENGALURU: A senior scientist of a DRDO lab has knocked on the doors of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Defence Minister and Ministry of Defence among others over alleged harassment, torture and humiliation meted out to him by his superiors at the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE).

Though he has complained to the authorities, no action has been taken. Meanwhile, Raghavan (name changed), the G-category scientist who has over 30 years of experience, authored 180 technical papers and worked on almost all Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) projects of ADE, remains without an assignment for the last four months.

In his complaint, Raghavan alleged that ADE Director P Srikumar is trying to push junior scientists (below G category) to senior positions before he retires later this year. In two letters dated 31-1-2015 and 31-3-2015, Raghavan has told the Defence Minister and DRDO headquarters that “In order to promote some inefficient and less experienced individuals, I have been pushed out of ADE work. This is done due to partiality and favoritism”.

On December 8, 2014, the ADE Director signed a directive attaching Raghavan to ‘Project Ghatak’ at Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), a nodal agency for design and development of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA). But ADA has refused to accept the deputation as proper government approval and procedure was not followed, the scientist alleged.

When contacted, ADE director Srikumar said he was not aware of any such complaint. “This does not call for a story,” he said.

On April 9, the DRDO Director (Personnel) has forwarded the complaint back to ADE to resolve the matter. The status on the letter states ‘under process’.

“Since no justice is provided and harassment and insult continued, I made a formal representation to Director, ADE, ADG Aero, Scientific Adviser to Raksha Mantri, and Defence Minister through letter dated 21.1.2015. Till today, my grievance is not addressed and sorted out,” he stated.

When contacted, ADE director Srikumar said he was not aware of any such complaint. “This does not call for a story,” he said.

Defence Secrets in Danger

Published: 26th Apr 2015 06:00:00 AM -The Sunday Standard
It’s akin to contract killing of the country’s defence research establishments. With their easy access to classified and secret information, thousands of people working on contractual or temporary basis in India’s top secret defence projects have turned out to be the biggest threat to national security. A spate of arrests for spying has alarmed the government. But the country’s premier defence research agency—Defence Research and Development Organisation—has a strength of more than 50,000 temporary or casual employees who have complete access to all its classified and research activities.
The recent arrest of a photographer employed on contractual basis at DRDO’s Integrated Test Range in Chandipur (Odisha) for passing confidential information on various missiles test-fired from Wheeler Island to his ISI conduit in Kolkata has raised the alarm bells in the corridors of the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

Soon after, a contractual employee working for the MoD was picked up by the Delhi Police for espionage. The issue put South Block in panic mode and an alert was issued in March, which clearly said that ‘Contractual/ casual employees should not be posted in sensitive locations and not allowed to given access to the classified information’.
A senior defence ministry official recalled how a high-level inquiry was ordered during AK Antony’s tenure as defence minister in 2010 into the episode of giving out a critical missile design project to a private contractor by a top DRDO scientist.
Despite such cases in the past, over 55 laboratories of the DRDO, mandated to develop products and technologies to modernise our armed forces ranging from missiles to combat aircraft, have roped in over 50,000 casual employees to assist scientists. According to an insider, contractual employees are generally hired under two categories—technical and non-technical.

Misuse of Public Money by making Temporary Duty for personal work or visit native place to meet family member by Dr. Vijay Veer, Director, DRL, DRDO, Tezpur.

SUBJECT:- Misuse of Public Money by making Temporary Duty for personal work or visit native place to meet family member by Dr. Vijay Veer, Director, DRL, DRDO, Tezpur.

Sir,

The office of PCDA (R&D) is public authority under purview of RTI Act 2005 and this office is having own independent CPIO and First Appellate Authority. PCDA (R&D) is not an exempted organisation under section 24 of RTI Act 2005, despite the CPIO, PCDA (R&D) deliberately denying the information related to Establishment Matters of DRDO officials like tour details, LTC details, procurement related information etc just to cover up the corrupt practices of DRDO officials. The main objective of PCDA (R&D) should be to minimise the corruption and save the public money.

In my several RTI’s , CPIO, PCDA(R&D) either denied the information under section 24 of the RTI Act 2005 or transferred the RTI’s to DRDO under section 6(3) of RTI Act 2005, which is unethical practice to promote corruption and non-transparency in the Government System.

Therefore, RTI for CPIO, PCDA (R&D) through PMO with kind request to give order to PCDA (R&D) to follow RTI Act 2005 with true & proper sprit and provide information by strictly following the provisions of RTI Act 2005.

PMO may explore tour details of Dr. Vijay Veer from 01 March 2012 to 31 March 2015 to verify Director misusing official powers for personal gain.

Dr. Vijay Veer assumed the charge of Director of DRL, Tezpur on 01 March 2012. His wife Dr. Neena Chauhan is serving as Scientist E at Forest Research Institute, Dehradun since beginning of her carrier.

Dr. Vijay Veer is having three immovable properties at Dehradun and his native place is Dehradun.

In Tezpur it was observed that Dr. Vijay Veer is signing his tour program himself while in any other Establishment/Lab of DRDO, Director’s tour programs are signed by CAO/SAO-I/AO/Account Officer.

He is not submitting joining report after tour along with confirmation on Movement Order that he visited to the place for which he made Temporary Duty. Frequent TD resulted, R&D activities of the DRL has been badly suffered. The administration is in bad shape, various CAT cases is the proof DRL scenario.

Subject: Young and honest DRDO Scientists suffering from corruption/ nepotism/ favoritism in promotions.

Sir,

Since last 10 years it is observed that the assessments for promotion is become business for senior top scientists and lab directors. Every year the result of assessment pour frustrations among deserve scientists and only such scientist stays in DRDO who digest the promotions of incompetents and specially outstanding promotions of those who are engaged for non scientific assignments.

DRDO brain drain is directly connected with DRDO assessment procedure. The RAC Director, Dr R K Jain himself an example of violation of FCS. His long tenure as Director RAC also proves the DRDO top managements are happy with his role.

Every year the entry of scientists especially by lateral entry is one of the main source of induction of their favorite ones by tailor made post advertisement. In this connection the complaints are piling with various GOI agencies.

The experts invitations are also a big game in these assessment, example in case of assessment of Dr A K Singh, most of time of his assessment same expert was called.

RAC, Director facilitate in this respect to lab directors/ cc/ DG’s to promote their beloveds through this mechanism and paint as fair assessments.

Sir, the following letter is received by website regarding assessment business of DRDO, forwarding for your perusal.
