17 Comments

Sri Avinash Chander, Distinguished Scientist and Chief Controller Research & Development (Missiles & Strategic Systems) as Secretary, Department of Defence Research & Development–cum-Director General, Defence Research& Development Organisation and Scientific Adviser to Raksha Mantri vide letter No. 12/9/2013-EO(SM-I) dated 31st May 2013,Secretariat of Appointment Committee of Cabinet, DOPT, Ministry of Personal, Public Grievances and Pensions, New Delhi. [copy of order dated 31 May 2013  enclosed]

According to the said letter dated 31 May 2013 , The appointment of Shri Avinash Chander beyond his date of retirement i.e.30.1 1.2014 would be on contract basis with the same terms and conditions as he would be entitled to Secretary (DRD) before the date of retirement.

The Chief of DRDO is holding three post simultaneously DGR&D,DRDO, SA to RM and Secretary, DRD and having control over 30000 employees, 52 establishments and Rs. 15283 crore of public money.

The said appointment order of Sri Avinash Chander was illegal on the grounds-

(i)            Shri Avinash Chander is not having International Stature that is basic requirement for extension in service from age of 62-64 years; hence the extension in service beyond the age of 62 years to Sri Avinash Chander was illegal.

(ii)          appointment from Distinguished Scientist to Secretary is promotion cum appointment (promotions in extension in service is illegal as FR 56(d)

(iii)         Shri V. Narayanasamy, Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office replied to Parliament in the year 2012 that “there is no policy formulation for appointing the Secretaries in Union Ministries and Departments on contract”.

(iv)         According to News published on 28 May 2012 in Hindustan Times stating “Contractual appointment post-retirement not in rules” based on reply given by DOPT, Ministry of Personnel in 15th Lok Sabha.

(v)          Orders for regular appointment and contractual appointment could not be clubbed in one order as both are totally distinct action as per recruitment rules.

(vi)         An official appointed on contract after retirement cannot function as Head of Office for all administrative & financial matters in the department. It is apparent from his appointment letter that he will exercise all administrative and financial powers on contractual appointment as he was having in his regular appointment before retirement.

In this matter several applications under RTI Act 2005 was filed to DOPT, Cabinet Sectt. , DRDO and MOD. In some applications vital information was provided by Government.

Recently on 06 August 2014, one DRDO scientist filed complaint to Hon’ble Prime Minister who is also the Chairman of ACC. The said complaint is under consideration to Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India.

India Today in its issue of 13 Oct 2014(English Edition) and 15 October 2014(Hindi Edition) published detailed News about post retirement appointment and extensions business in DRDO.

Besides several complaints against Sri Avinash Chander was filed by corruptionindrdo.com to Hon’ble Prime Minister regarding following matters.

  1. DEEMED SUSPENSION OF DR. G. MALKONDIAH, DS AND CCR&D (HR), DRDO AS under the provisions of Rule 10(2)(b) of CCS(CCA) Rules 1965, dated 06 Oct 2014.
  2. Shri Avinash Chander SA to RM , DG DRDO, Secretary (DRD) patronizing organized corruption in procurement by Dr. A. K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur, Dated 13 September 2014
  3. CORRUPTION IN DMSRDE (DRDO), KANPUR BY DR. ARVIND KUMAR SAXENA, DIRECTOR, dated 11 September 2014
  4. Non-Implementation of DOPT, Govt. of India, Office Memorandums regarding submission of IPR and put the same in Public Domain in Defence Research & Development Organisation, Min. of Defence, dated 28 July 2014
  5. The Appointment Committee of the Cabinet appointed Sh. Avinash Chander on contract basis, dated 27 May 2014
  6. Conspiracy and propaganda for reverse technology transfer to USA by forged TOT of EDK by DRDO under guidance of Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and SA to RM, Secretary, DRD.
  1. डीआरडीओ में श्री अविनाश चन्दर, वैज्ञानिक सलाहकार की चल रही है जागीरदारी (Example of Sh Avinash Chander’s feudalism in DRDO) (Appointment of SK Patel case).

corruptionindrdo.com arranged a survey to know the view of DRDO  officials , Whether DRDO officials want that Sri Avinash Chander continues as SA on contract basis after 30th November 2014?

All Scientists, officers and officials of DRDO are requested to participate in the survey so that DRDO officials view and emotions could be put before the Government.

Above all the contractual appoint of Sri Avinash Chander a massage to whole world, that 125 crores of Indian doesn’t have a single capable scientist who can lead the DRDO, a big question to Modi ji government.

Scraps the promotions for Scientist ‘F’ to Scientist ‘G’ in DRDO year 2011

Shri Narendra Modi
Prime Minister of India
PMO, South Block
New Delhi-110011

  Subject: Scraps the promotions for Scientist ‘F’ to Scientist ‘G’ in DRDO year 2011

Hon’ble Sir,

  1. Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) is an organisation under MOD having annual budget of Rs. 15000 crore for FY 2014-2015. This organisation is having about 7500 scientists under DRDS cadre who are comprising of more than 50 scientific disciplines and working in their respective area based on his qualification and discipline.
  2. Prior to the formation of the Recruitment & Assessment Centre(RAC) in DRDO the  recruitments and promotions of scientists in DRDO were made by UPSC. Later on Government of India allowed DRDO to have its own recruitment & assessment body for recruitment and assessment of scientists under DRDS cadre. Consequently an in-house Recruitment & Assessment Centre (RAC) was created in DRDO in 90’s. RAC  conducts recruitment of scientists in DRDO and assessment of scientists for promotion from the grade of Scientist ‘B’ to Scientist ‘H’.
  3. All scientists of DRDO comes under the Defence Research & Development Services(DRDS) cadre and under the provisions of Article 309 of Constitution of India, Government of India framed The Defence Research & Development Service Rules 1979 (DRDS Rules 1979) as Recruitment & Promotion Rules for DRDS cadre.
  4. DOPT, GOI framed Flexible Complementing Scheme (FCS) for faster promotions of scientists working in all S&T Department/Organisations under Central Government. Consequently from past 35 years DOPT issued various OM & Notifications for FCS from IIIrd CPC to VIth CPC.
  5. The OM No. 2/41/97-PICdated 9th Nov 1998  and OM No. AB-1401713712008-Estt(RR)dated 10th September, 2010issued by DOPT are umbrella notifications for FCS.
  6. Vide SRO  11(E) dated 10th August 1990, FCS was introduced in DRDS Rules 1979 and under the provisions of Rule 8(2)(a) of DRDS Rules 1979 it clearly mentioned that promotions from the rank Scientist ‘B’ to Scientist ‘H’ (Outstanding Scientist) are covered under the FCS. Copy of the Rule 8(2)(a) is annexed as Annexure-1.
  7. In DRDO scientists are recruited based on the requirement of various Lab/Estt which were sent to RAC through DRDO HQ and then RAC recruits the scientists based on their discipline, qualifications, experience and other requirement as sought by Labs/Estt of DRDO.
  8. Under the provisions of OM No.AB-1401713712008-Estt(RR)  dated 10th September, 2010of DOPT the promotions under FCS are applicable to the scientist who are working in S&T organisation/department and involved in Scientific &Technological  work. Scientists/ Technical experts doing management/ administrative work in the Ministries should not be considered for up gradation under FCS, they should only be given benefit of up gradation under MACP. Copy of page no. 06 of the OM annexed as Annexure-2.
  9. Procedure of promotion from grade of Scientist ‘F’ to Scientist ‘G’ till 2010 were followed as provided under Rule 8(2)(a) of DRDS Rules 1979 and the same procedure supposed to be followed  in 2011 for promotions from grade of Scientist ‘F’ to Scientist ‘G’but the RAC, DRDO  adopted the new procedure illegally without amending the DRDS Rules 1979 by issuing SRO under the provisions of Article 309 of the Constitution.
  10. DRDS Rules 1979 clearly stipulates that  DRDS Rules can be amended only by issuing an SRO under Article 309 of the Constitution of India. DRDO violated the Article 309 by implementing interview/interaction in promotion of scientist ‘F’ to scientist ‘G’ grade in 2011 without proper amendment in SRO.
  11. In this matter Dr. A.K. Singh, Scientist ‘G’ (then Director, DHRD) issued letter No. DHRD/76145/C/M/01 dated 21 March 2011 on the Subject ” Assessment of Sc ‘F’ for promotion- revised procedure of” to Director, RAC. Copy of the letter dated 21 March 2011 is annexed as Annexure-3.
  12. Dr. A.K. Singh issued the said letter illegally  without issuing of any SRO in the subject matter as in the year 2011 Dr. A.K. Singh himself was appearing in assessment as candidate for promotion from  grade of Scientist ‘F’ to Scientist ‘G’ and wanted to be get benefitted by the said new procedure for assessment.
  13. Based upon the letter of Dr. A.K. Singh dated 21 March 2011, Dr. P.S. Goel, then Chairman, RAC issued his DO letter No. RAC/01/Assessment/PSG, dated 22 March 2011 regarding “Promotions for grade of Scientist ‘F’ to Scientist ‘G”. Copy of the letter dated 22 March 2011 is annexed as Annexure-4.[How quickly the letter by Dr. P.S. Goel was issued on 22 March 2011, this establish planned conspiracy]
  14. Dr. P. S. Goel and Dr. A.K. Singh planned whole conspiracy of the said illegal assessment in the year 2011 in DRDO with help of then Dr. V.K. Saraswat then DGR&D, DRDO.
  15. Dr. P.S. Goel introduced this illegal mechanism to give favour to few incompetent DRDO scientists and for this act in return he got Prof. MGKMenon Chair, RCI, Hyderabad which fed him 84 lakhs per year. It is pure kick back or DRDO should provethe justification of his appointment. Dr. A.K. Singh himself promoted in the year 2011 by misusing this illegal mechanism for assessment in the year 2011.
  16. There was noassessment interview requirement for promotion from scientist ‘F’ to  scientist ‘G’ as per the DRDO service rule-1979-Rule-8(2)(e) till 2011 , but Chairman, Recruitment and Assessment Centre (RAC) of DRDO forwarded name before promotion committee after “ INTERACTION ’’ .
  17. The SRO No. 21 for the amending DRDS Rules 1979 was published in official gazette of Government of India on 23 March 2012. Copy of the SRO 21 dated 23 March 2012 is annexed as Annexure-5.
  18. The list of Scientist ‘F’ that were illegally promoted to  Scientist ‘G’in the year 2011 is annexed asAnnexure-6.
  19. Sir , all these promotion from grade of scientist ‘F’ to  scientist ‘G’ in the year 2011 were illegal and liable to be scrapped as it amounts corruption , nepotism and misuse of power for personal gain by Dr. A.K. Singh being Director, DHRD who issued illegal letter dated 21 March 2011.Therefore promotion of Dr. A.K. Singh, Scientist ‘G’ , Director of Personnel should be quashed/scrapped and through investigation in the matter may be ordered to give justice to the all affected Scientist ‘F’ of DRDO and fix the accountability of the corrupt culprits in the matter.

Subject: Conspiracy and propaganda for reverse technology transfer to USA by forged TOT of EDK by DRDO under guidance of Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and SA to RM, Secretary, DRD

Sir,

  1. HEMRL, Pune is one of the establishments of DRDO working on R&D of High Energy Materials and it developed the technology of EDI. DRDO patented the technology of Explosive Detection & Identification through Indian Patent Office by Patent Application No 524/DEL/1996 dated 12-Mar-1996 for

“A PROCESS FOR EXPLOSIVE DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION”.

The patent granted vide patent no 238663 dated 16 Feb 2010.

As per GOI website Inventors of the said patent were RABINDRA KUMAR SINHA, USHA DEVI RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, HIRA LAL YADAV and JAMAN SINGH GHARIA    .

Copy of Patent is enclosed as Annexure-I

Astonishing fact is that HEMRL falsely credited Ms Reny M Roy, Scientist C as innovator of EDK vide their letter No HEMRL/TS/3341 dated 8 March 2010. Copy of the letter is enclosed as Annexure-II.

  1. DRDO signed licensing agreement for explosive detection kit with an Indian company, Vantage Integrated Security Solutions, Noida. The company basically working in area of CCTV, they import in kit form and assemble in Noida, no any connection in explosive, basically the company is instrumental for EDK propaganda because of  Mr Panrav Verma’s (Owner) close proximity with corrupt DRDO officials who are using this company for CCTV applications for all over DRDO labs.Company’s website is self explanatory http://www.vantagesecurity.com/.
  1. The expose of special audit by CGDA in 2012  jolted DRDO in each and every level subsequently Dr V K Sarswat, DG DRDO failed to get further extension and relived on 31st May. Indian media criticized the misadventures of DRDO corrupt practises especially by top scientists.
  1. To divert the attention of country and media as well as politicians Sh Avinash Chander made big international propaganda of EDK Reverse Technology Transfer to US which was already signed MOU between then HEMRL, Pune’s Director, Dr. Subhanadnanda Rao and Mrs Fay Crow, President of Crow & Crow Co, on 25th April 2011. Copy enclose as evidence.
  1. Crowe and Company, LLC, a woman-owned, very small LLC, registered in   SUMMERVILLE, South Carolina in 20th November 2007, net base company as per company website crowderscustomizing.com involve in business of car accessories, marketing & management consultancy. As per data available in internet the company turnover only $ 100000 only has two employees etc.
  1. DRDO designed a high profile drama involved Indian Embassy, Washington, DC US chamber of commerce, FICCI, India to fool the country.
  1. DRDO wasted lakhs of lakhs Rupees organised lunch for 1000 people, DRDO team under leadership of Sh Avinash Chander consisting more than 12 persons visited US, then Indian Ambassador Mrs Nirupama Rao gave dinner party for these DRDO team and Fay Crowe team.
  1. Interestingly such big defence organisation of India signed second time same MOU with Mrs Fay Crowe, CEO who was present there with her mother, sister and daughter. India’s achievement was the photo session of Sh Avinash Chander only.
  1. Explosive Detection & Identification (EDK) is nothing but as usual bluff of DRDO, because DRDO is mastering in bluffing the country and the KARGIL War was the eye opener for the country. But because of lack in vision of UPA government corrective measure not taken and DRDO got liberty to fool the country.
  2. Again DRDO trying to lipapoti on EDK by sending again to US Ms Reny M Roy, Scientist C and one Technical Officer Mr Satish Nayak to do some gimmick with Ms Fay Crowe and waste some precious poor tax payer money
  3. The enclosed documents, photographs, news paper clips are self explanatory of this conspiracy of DRDO.
  4. The justification of this exercise from DRDO is need not important because whole world now knows the bluff of DRDO team this game was done only to distract the attention of media and public from DRDO failures, corruptions and CVC, CVO investigations.

It is requested a thorough investigation may be ordered to stop this kind of misadventure by DRDO, because of this country will face embarrassment situation of our country in international platform.

Subject : Request to   utilized scientific potential of Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP, DRDO HQ to Lab/Estt under Life Sciences Cluster 

Hon’ble Sir,

Human Resource is an asset of an organisation and proper utilisation and deployment of its HR/Manpower is challenging job for an organisation especially on DRDO which holding very significant responsibility for the nation. In the past several years   DRDO cannot meet its target well within time and seeking extensions in PDC again & again in several major projects of national significance. This drawback of DRDO has been noticed by Hon’ble Ex-PM Dr. Manmohan Singh, Ex- Defence Minister Shri A.K. Antony, CAG, CGDA, Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence (15th Lok Sabha). This has been also noticed and criticised by you in DRDO Award Function on 20th August 2014 by saying “Chalta Hai wala attitude nahin chalega“.

Poor HR planning and deployment of scientists in various Lab/Estt of DRDO is major reason for not delivering the products and timely completion of project. Almost each and every lab/Estt all sundry work (Admin/Stores/Security/MTO/Library/works/ conservancy etc) are managed by qualified scientist and technical officials (more than 15% of total strength of DRDO) Simultaneously they are drawing all perks which is provided towards incentive in the name of scientific encouragement and also enjoying flexible complementary scheme on promotions which is also strictly for those who dedicatedly involve in scientific and technical assignments.

HR of DRDO comes under CCR&D (HR) which consisted of DOP, DHRD, RAC, CEPTAM, DESIDOC, ITM, MILIT, DIAT, DPI and RTI Cell. Presently Dr. G. Malakondiah, Distinguished Scientist is holding the charge of CCR&D (HR) and he was convicted by Madras High Court for imprisonment of three weeks in case of contempt of court this the highest example of ignorance of constitutions provision.

One such example of poor HR planning of DRDO is of Dr. A.K. Singh, Director, Directorate of Personnel, DRDO HQ, New Delhi. Dr. A.K.Singh, Scientist ‘G’ is great Nuclear Medicine scientist of India with five patents granted, fourteen patents filed, one copy right and more than fifty publications in international & national journals.Bio-Data of Dr. A.K. Singh is annexed.

As a matter of fact, despite having so many scientific contributions in area of Nuclear Medicines which is primarily used for treatment of cancer, brain tumours and complex diseases.

Dr. A.K. Singh was basically recruited for projects of DRDO in its New Delhi based unique laboratory working in Nuclear Medicine, Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS). He worked in INMAS till the year 2004 but all of sudden he was transferred in DRDO HQ and assigned non-technical clerical assignments like Staff Officer to CCR&D.

Since the year 2004, the great Nuclear Medicine scientist is working non-scientific work like Director, CEPTAM, Director, DHRD and presently DOP. The work assigned to Dr. A.K. Singh is of administrative nature for which DRDO is having it’s another HR cadre known as administrative cadre and from this cadre manpower should be appointed in DOP.

Being a bonafide life science scientist, Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP not having any expertise in field of HR, therefore, he made several wrong decisions due to which DRDO faces lot of embarrassment and bad fame in media, it also affected various officials of DRDO who are facing several court cases in various courts all over India, even 15th October 2014 he received notice from CAT Delhi for his misadventure towards a senior scientist who belong to minority.  This created lot of expenditure in term of fees to lawyers, TA/DA to attend court cases and cause of derailing scientific research tempo of DRDO.

Government of India is paying more than Rupees twenty lakhs to Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP for his non-productive and non-scientific work that can be carried out by any of the officer of Joint Director/Additional Director of DRDO from the admin cadre. DRDO wasting poor tax payers money.

Dr. A.K. Sigh is great Nuclear Medicine Scientist which is rare in DRDO. The discipline of Dr. A.K. Singh is from Life Sciences so proper utilization of his potential to  posted him in Laboratory/ Establishment of DRDO under Life Sciences Cluster so he can contribute more in the national interest.

There are nine (09) Lab/Estt under Life Sciences Cluster of DRDO spread over all India. These are DEBEL, DIPAS, DIPR, INMAS, DRL, DIBER, DFRL, DIHAR & DRDE. Life sciences scientists are 120+ out of 7500 total DRDO scientist’s strength so proper utilization of these 9 labs can only possible when all life science scientists dedicatedly posted in Life Sciences Cluster of DRDO not in HR related Corporate Directorate. Dr A K Singh qualified life science scientist but he convert his field into technical services in the official records while as per his biodata he is fit for life sciences activities.

Sir you know the maxim “wrong shoe in right leg- “. Similar is the case of Dr. A.K. Singh who has been wrongly posted in HR assignments of DRDO while he is great Nuclear Medicine scientist with international fame scientific contributions in Nuclear Medicine. He is very much required in Lab/Estt of DRDO that are working in specialization of Dr. A.K. Singh like Defence Research Laboratory, Tezpur, Defence Research & Development Establishment, Gwalior, DEBEL, Bangalore and INMAS, New Delhi. Since Dr. A.K. Singh had already worked in INMAS, New Delhi for more than 16 years and his experience was bitter at INMAS thereby he was expelled from projects and scientific assignments at INMAS, New Delhi. Therefore the ,most suitable  work places for getting output from his scientific knowledge and experience is DRL, Tezpur, DRDE, Gwalior and DEBEL, Bangalore.

Keeping in view of the facts stated above, to save public revenue and streamline HR of DRDO, it is very much required that scientists of the DRDO having educational qualification and experiences in life sciences should be posted in Lab/Estt under Life Sciences Cluster of DRDO.

Therefore I kindly and earnestly request you to start “operation clean- Swachta Abhiyan” in DRDO by transferring Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP from DRDO HQ to any of the Life Sciences Cluster Lab/Estt like DRL, Tezpur, DRDE, Gwalior or DEBEL, Bangalore so that poor & dirty  HR of DRDO may be rich & clean.

Subject:     Request for inquiry of fake experience certificate issued from Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Research North Campus, Delhi University.

Reference: RTI reply received from CPIO, DU vide letter No Info/ OA/ 1761/ 2014/ 5294 Dated 30th September 2014

Sir,

Delhi University since its inception is guiding source for all other Indian universities due to its proximity with education ministry, UGC and power center at Delhi.

With passage of time, however, it has been noticed that casual attitude has been taken over and faculties are involve in recruitments in various government organizations as a expert and “very early they have adopted a culture of one man scratch another man back”

The opportunity give Delhi University for collaborating the science and technology with various labs have been diluted when some faculties shows leniency in performing the business which has lowered the image of DU.

One such example of this casual attitude has been surfaced when one senior scientist with ten years service annulled on last Friday 10th October 2014 as the appointment found manipulated and the DU environment biology faculty was participated as a expert for interview of Biotechnology scientist recruitment in RAC, DRDO.

It is astonishing fact that how DU administration allowed environment biology faculty to play role as expert for Biotechnology scientist recruitment and bunch of brilliant biotechnology candidate he selected environmental biology candidate. Basically he was instrumental for the said task but we all believe that no professor will help the corrupt official because rest candidates are also their students.

Another case observed of issuing experience certificate to Mrs S Geetha by Prof. Vani Brahmachari, ACBR. Earlier RTI reply by CPIO, DU clearly send that all six faculties specifically denied that Mrs S Geetha never work in any research project at ACBR including the signatory Prof. Vani Brahmachari.

Recent above reference RTI reply the information given by Prof K Natrajan, Offg, Director, ACBR vide letter no ACBR/14/843 dated 29/30 September 2014 stated that the issued certificate is genuine without furnishing any evidence financial/report/application/ appointment letter etc of Mrs S Geetha which can justify that Mrs S Geetha worked as research assistant for 38 days at ACBR.

It seems Prof K Natrajan, Offg, Director, ACBR not serious about the image of DU and trying to mislead the authorities of HRD ministries. He also not aware the Sh A K Antony already given approval for CBI inquiry on 29th October 2013 reference Notes at 48-55 ante and the observation of JS & CVO at note 56 ante (few pages is enclosed herewith for ready reference)

It is requested for the sake of DU image and for sake of eligible students who study hard to get good job and wish to serve nation but the nexus of corrupts ruins their honest wish, therefore, an authoritative investigation required for the matter pertaining to Mrs S Geetha. It will further stop the casual attitude of faculties and directors of Delhi University to play with future of genuine scholars.

15 Comments

Ex DOP, Dr Arun Kumar’s daughter Ms Sawti Srivastava, Scientist ‘C’ DIPAS was terminated at 5:30 Hrs on Friday 10th October 2014.

She was recruited through RAC without having eligibility for the post of Scientist ‘B’ in 2004. Dr Arun Kumar was than Director, RAC and manipulated all recruitment rules for secure her appointment for the post of Sc ‘B’

like

the subject advertised for recruitment was Biotechnology but her subject was environment science. For interview call the number of candidates against post ratio was changed temporary to accommodate her name

For interview subject expert was called from Delhi University the faculty of Environmental Science for the post of Biotechnology.

Ultimately after long fight since 2009 with gang of corrupt officials finally the day has come – Satya ki jeet hui ( सत्य की जीत हुई )

Congratulations to Dr Neelam Bhalla, Sc ‘F’,DTRL, Sh Prakash Singh, Senior Admin Officer Grade – II, LASTEC, Dr. Rajiv Chauhan, Dr A K Singh, DOP, DRDO, Media persons, CVC, CVO, MOD for their great effort for clean DRDO from Corrupt officials.

Now count down began for removal of Ms S Geetha, Sc, D, DIPAS for submitting fake experience certificate and Ms Dolly Bansal, Sc ‘C’, DIPR recruited without having proper qualification at the time application date. Dr Snehmani, Sc ‘F’, SASE recruited without meeting eligibility criteria, giving fake inputs at the time of selection of scientist ‘C’ and finally Cmdr S K Patel husband of Ms Tessy Thomas (Agni Putri) who got illegal appointment as Sc ‘G’ and subsequently given post of director within three days by superseding 480+ scientist ‘G’, one of the great achievement of Sh Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO.

DRDO giving false information to Rashtrapati Sachivalaya (President Secretariat) regarding Transfer and victimization of whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta of DMSRDE, Kanpur

Subject: DRDO giving false information to Rashtrapati Sachivalaya (President Secretariat) regarding Transfer and victimization of whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta of DMSRDE, Kanpur

Reference:DOP/05/53123/DMSRDE/M/02 dated 22 Sept 2014 of DOP, DRDO

Hon’ble Sir,

Top management of DRDO is infamous for ill-treat to whistle blowers and officials that belonging to SC/ST and minority community in DRDO. The increasing number court cases, representations to President House, SC/ST commission and minority commission are self explanatory of failure of DRDO HR management

Currently Honorable Madras High Court punishedtwo top DRDO scientists with simple imprisonment for a period of three weeks and also pay a fine of Rs.2,000/each. It clearly shows the DRDO losing day by day its credibility and responsibility towards national goals scientifically & administratively as well as welfare of employees and officers working in the organisation. Sir, you can assume the worst situation of DRDO that the top senior officer Dr. G. Malkondiah who was convicted by Hon’ble Madras High Court is Head of HR Department of DRDO.

With reference to the above cited letter , Shri Navin Prakash Gupta, scientist ‘C’ raised his voice against corruption and send lot of complaints to various agencies including Hon’ble Defence Minister with proof.

The representation send to you by whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta on 24 July 2014 ,  which subsequently your good office send to DRDO for their comments and with above reference  DRDO send a reply to ShriNavin Prakash Gupta mentioning in

Para -2 “ Competent authority has approved your transfer from DMSRDE, Kanpur to DRL, Tezpur in public interest keeping in the view the exigencies of work. It is neither is punishment nor an act of victimize as you alleged.”

Shri Avinash Chander constituted a fact finding committee and subsequentlytransfer whistle blower ShriNavin Prakash Gupta to DRL, Tezpur without justifying the issue in public interest. The only aim was to save corrupt scientist and message to others beware don’t make noise against his loyal corrupt officials. It is nothing but abuse of power by Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO, who is working in illegal second extension in service after retirement.

Shri Avinash Chander again constituted second fact finding committee to enquire further the corruption charges against Dr. A. K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

Question is why Shri Avinash Chander constituted two fact finding committees, if there was no corruption evidences on record. As DRDO wrote in above reference letter that allegation are baseless. In case the allegations were baseless then why not DRDO disclosed the first FFIC report to whistle blower and sought explanation from him for false complaint to Defence Minister.

THE WHISTLE BLOWERS PROTECTION ACT, 2011, NO. 17 OF 2014 of Parliament received the assent of the President on the 9th May, 2014, and is hereby published for general information on Monday, May 12, 2014.

Under the provisions of sad Act complainant means

(c) “complainant” means any person who makes a complaint relating to disclosure under this Act;

(d) “disclosure means a complaint relating to,—

(i) an attempt to commit or commission of an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988;

(ii) wilful misuse of power or wilful misuse of discretion by virtue of which demonstrable loss is caused to the Government or demonstrable wrongful gain accrues to the public servant or to any third party;

(iii) attempt to commit or commission of a criminal offence by a public servant, made in writing or by electronic mail or electronic mail message, against the public servant and includes public interest disclosure referred to in sub-section (2) of section 4;

Under the provisions of the CHAPTER V- Safeguards against victimisation the Act provide the protection to whistle blowers

PROTECTION TO THE PERSONS MAKING DISCLOSURE

11. (1) The Central Government shall ensure that no person or a public servant who has made a disclosure under this Act is victimised by initiation of any proceedings or otherwise merely on the ground that such person or a public servant had made a disclosure or rendered assistance in inquiry under this Act.

(2) If any person is being victimised or likely to be victimised on the ground that he had filed a complaint or made disclosure or rendered assistance in inquiry under this Act, he may file an application before the Competent Authority seeking redress in the matter, and such authority shall take such action, as deemed fit and may give suitable directions to the concerned public servant or the public authority, as the case may be, to protect such person from being victimised or avoid his victimisation:

(3) Every direction given under sub-section (2) by the Competent Authority shall be binding upon the public servant or the public authority against whom the allegation of victimisation has been proved.

(4) Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force, the power to give directions under sub-section (2), in relation to a public servant, shall include the power to direct the restoration of the public servant making the disclosure, to the status quo ante.

(5) Any person who wilfully does not comply with the direction of the Competent Authority under sub-section (2), shall be liable to a penalty which may extend up to thirty thousand rupees.

The fact is as vigilant citizen of India I have sent more than one dozen corruption cases with complete proof to CVC and CVC duly register the case and send to CVO, MOD for further investigations against Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

Question No 1–

The meaning of the exigencies:The state or quality of requiring much effort or immediate action,  A pressing or urgent situation, Urgent requirements; pressing needs – This all are bogus the DRL, a life science deserted lab, the Director sitting there also very corrupt, lot of complaints also pending against him. This is only example of abuse of power by Shri Avinash Chander to protect his corrupt colleague. The DRL lab , Tezpur is working in life sciences and where the exigencies of work,

Question No 2-

In DRDO there are more than 7500 scientist are available to Shri Avinash Chander and out of these computer science experts scientist, the 425 scientists are senior to Shri Navin Prakash Gupta and 447 are junior to him, strangely Shri Avinash Chander picked only the whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta for said exigencies of work   at DRL, Tezpur.

Question No 3 –

The transfer order was as punishment based on allegation & charges and not in any public interest which is quite evident from letter No. DOP/DS/08/01 dated 28th May 2014 issued and signed by Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP.

Therefore, it is requested that please protect whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta, Scientist ‘C’ from the clutches of corrupt scientists of DRDO and kindly issue orders to Hon’ble Defence Minister to provide immediate protection and relief to whistle blower scientist by cancellation of his transfer order.

The responsibility for execution of Act passed by Parliament after due sanction by Hon’ble President of India is on concerned ministries and ministers. As per this new Act, every ministry should have competent authority to address the matters of victimization of whistle blowers but the requests from whistle blower and his family are being ill-treated by Government officials, ignoring the provisions of whistle blower protection Act 2011.

DRDO is wasting lakhs and lakhs rupees every year in hundreds of court cases running across the country in various courts because of ego satisfaction of top DRDO brass, as well as because of poor HR management victimization of middle class Government servants.

Sir, kindly save this premier organization from the corruption, nepotism and favoritism and give the justice to honest whistle blower scientists and officials of DRDO who are devoted for the Nation.

DRDO gave bogus answer to Hon’ble Parliament via then Defence Minister Shri A.K. Antony

1 Comment

Parliament of India is supreme constitutional institution in which Hon’ble Member of Parliament (MP) can ask questions to Government Ministries regarding issues of public welfare, working of Government, issues of national interest and others as specified by Parliament rules &  procedures with permission of chair.

It is expected that concerned ministries will provide true and correct information to Parliament through concerned minister of the ministry of GOI. The Hon’ble ministers provide the reply to parliament questions based on inputs provided to them by the concerned department. Hon’ble Members of Parliament very frequently put questions in Parliament related to DRDO.

DRDO was having its own cell for preparing the reply to Parliament Questions headed by Dr. J.P. Singh, Scientist ‘F’ under Dte. of Planning & Coordination. Now after implementation of Rama Rao Committee, DRDO has restructure its organization setup and a new Dte of Parliamentary Affairs has been created with effect from 01 Sept 2013 under CCR&D(R&M) and Dr. J.P. Singh, Scientist ‘G’ is the first Director of this Directorate of Parliamentary Affairs. As a matter of fact Dr. J.P. Sigh is highly qualified scientist of DRDO with M.Sc. (Physics), MLISC and Ph.D. but since several years he is posted at DRDO HQ and looking after Parliamentary Affairs in DRDO. Dr. J.P. Singh was promoted as Scientist ‘G’ wef 01 July 2012 and having seniority no. 346 among all Scientist ‘G’ of DRDO as seniority roll as on November 2013,  still by superseding all his seniors he was appointed as Director, Dte of Parliamentary Affairs , DRDO HQ with blessings of his God Father.

To provide false and misleading information to Hon’ble MP’s by any ministry on behalf of the hon’ble minister is disrespect to Parliament and against the decorum of the House. As per Chapter 8: Privileges of Rajya Sabha Manual to provide false & misleading information to Parliament is breach of privileges and contempt of Parliament.

In 15th Lok Sabha, a Parliamentary Question No. 2732 was raised by Hon’ble members of Lok Sabha Shri Pradeep Kumar Singh, Shri Kirti (Jha) Azad and Dr. M.Jagannath which was answered by then Defence Minister Shri A. K. Antony on 10.12.2012. (Copy Annexed as downloaded from Lok Sabha website). The subject of the question sought was “WORKING CONDITIONS OF SCIENTISTS AT DRDO” (Very much relevant to present condition of DRDO)

Ex Defence Minister Shri A. K. Antony answered parliament question no. 2732 regarding extended tenure of DRDO Scientistsand as a practice the answer was prepared by DRDO Parliamentary Affair expert awardee scientist Dr. J. P. Singh who was looking Parliamentary Affairsin Directorate of Planning and Coordination, DRDO HQ in the year 2012.

Dr. J. P. Singh awarded in June 2011 for“Disseminating Information pertaining to DRDO’s Contributions” to the Parliament and its Committees. Subsequently he was also promoted as Scientist ‘G’ after superseding so many scientists who are actually doing science in various Lab/Estt of DRDO and his promotion is clear cut violation of FCS (Flexible Complementary Scheme) guide lines which says FCS benefits strictly for those scientists who are doing science or totally involved in scientific & technical assignments.

The justification for granting service extensions to so called scientists of DRDO now totally exposed and Modi Ji’s Government is taking stern action no output, no undue benefits.

But in respect of answer of  “Whether the Government favours the policy of retaining officers or specialists after their retirement; “ was totally false –DRDO never ever justified the extensions of their scientists, if you see the DOPT guidelines for service extensions FR 56 (d) it is clearly mentioned“the expertise of individuals should be of international stature” but 99% of service extensions given by DRDO to those scientists who has no patents, no international papers, no awards, even their own town does not know about his existence. DRDO posed them like without him the ongoing project will not move a single step but in reality all scientist on extensions 62-64 are either holding the post of DG or CCR&D at DRDO HQ and busy in administrative work only and not contributing in scientific activities (R&D) of DRDO.

It can be found in bio-data of all Distinguished Scientists/Outstanding Scientists on extension after age of 60 years that paper published are from in- house DRDO publications, awards in- house DRDO awards or the awards sponsored ones like by deemed universities who receiving funds from DRDO or societies who also received funds for their day to day activities from DRDO. The gang of bluffer scientists made a grip (मकड़जाल) to confuse and mislead the politicians in the name of indigenous technology development related to Defence.

The one example of the service extension of the so called great scientist as Shri Antony mentioned in his answer “This extension is grantedkeeping in view their knowledge and meritin theconcerned fields. Therefore, DRDO is utilizing rich experience and knowledge of these scientists in on-going research works” is of Shri R. C. Agarwal, Director, DEAL, DRDO, Raipur Road, Dehradun.

As per information of DRDO website he joined DRDO after B. Tech and subsequently he did M. Tech while working in LRDE and he got DRDO various in-house awards but not mentioned the name of awards and type of awards in his bio-data(whether local lab awards). Similarly it is mentioned that he contributed in so many projects (as a team member everyone in DRDO contributed with various project what is special). It is also mentioned that he published number of technical papers in national and international journals (no numbers, no details whether as main author or as co-author). Hence, big question mark is on his bio-data and extension in service)

This great scientist of DRDO nobody knows him in Dehradun what is his national or international existence, only SA knows who forwarded his name to ACC.

He got 60 to 62 years extension in June 2011 just after his bypass surgery in Feb 2011– see the DRDO top HR capability. ( Now everyone knows the capability of DRDO HR as Madras High Court punished  Sh.G MALAKONDIAH, CC (R&D) HR, DRDO with Simple Imprisonment for a period of three weeks and also pay a fine of Rs.2,000/)

In the name of 100 Cr project Software Defined Radio (SDR) (PDC 36 Months) the status of project till date same as in the time of sanction. He purchased SDR 3000, SDR 5000 that was the achievement and spends 57% of funds in his first extension. Take lot of leaves, availed LTC to J&K, second LTC Sikkim etc and wasted precious money of poor tax payers.

Again he got second service extension 62 to 64 years same in the name of Software Defined Radio (SDR) (PDC 36 Months) but nothing mentionable has been done so far, currently project review is going on in Bangalore and the best part is that as Shri Antony told “DRDO utilizing rich experience of scientist” and so called scientist is in 27 days vacation to US and again wasting precious money of poor tax payers.

Can DRDO justifies the extension game –never but who cares to common man question? But Modi ji give hope that now no extension without proper justifications and cases should be initiated at least four months before retirement.
