Subject:   Dr Christopher lost his grip on DRDO top officials who leave no opportunity to show their illegal might even at the cost of the image & reputation of DRDO as an organization of MOD, Govt. of India.

Madam,

DRDO secretary Dr Christopher severely failed to manage DRDO HR problems. Everyday DRDO is witnessing the high level drama of unethical transfers and superseding games on the basis of linguistics or corruption equations. Can you believe that a Director General is fighting for his promotion in CAT, several scientists are victimized in the form of unjustified APAR numbers, DPCs for promotions have not been conducted in last two years on flimsy pretexts, Employees of DRDO are compelled to take the recourse of avoidable litigations on similar law points to unnecessary harass them, officials of DRDO are made scapegoats if they request for  redressal of their genuine service matter grievances . if you ask DRDO scientists to write their grievances without any fear  of any one to you then you will get  flood  of complaints regarding deliberately created  HR problems in entire DRDO, MoD

Please ask Dr Christopher, how many cases are pending of sexual harassment in DRDO and for how long; how many cases are pending of SC/ST/ Minority commission harassment in DRDO and for how long. Interestingly the DG, HR in DRDO is a women but she is responsible for the delay in genuine sexual harassment cases like ITM Mussoorie, IRDE, Dehradun & prompt in pursuing the false sexual harassment cases made under conspiracy like sexual harassment case against Shri PARBIR Verma, Sc, F of DMSRDE, Kanpur, unjustified APAR Marks specially in the APARs of women scientists. Women Scientists are harassed on the basis of gender bias taking one or the other pretext like Scientist C’ of SAG, Delhi Sumitra Singh, ‘has been issued charge sheet for Major penalty in Feb. 2018 on trifling issue of proceeding USA  to look after her ailing 05 years son before receipt of the N-O-C although she applied for N-O-C before her onward journey to USA.

28th Feb at 5:40, a drama was witnessed by a number of employees of Joint Cipher Bureau, Office gate. Near Metcalfe House, Delhi showing entire DRDO in poor light . whistle blower Sh Prakash Singh,  Senior Admin Officer Grade –I  was  illegally not allowed  to enter the JCB, Main office  campus, Delhi & he was  even man handled by JCB security officers  namely  by  Shri Dinesh Kumr & by  Shri A K Mehta  when he wanted to know the ground of banning his entry in the JCB, Main office Campus situated at Metcalfe House, Delhi. Sh Prakash Singh,Senior Admin Officer Grade –I wanted to go to  attend a retirement party of his colleague Sh R K Sharma, Sc, D but Director  Shri R K Jain  gave oral   Illegal instruction to security  officers for restricting the entry of whistle blower  Sh Prakash Singh in  JCB, Main office, Campus , Delhi to humiliate  him. The said Security Officers have become the conduit for all illegal acts & omissions of  Shri R K Jain, present Director of JCB, Delhi  &  as a quid pro quo they do not  need to do their Security duty  at the mandated place which  had already resulted in a stealing & house breaking incident in the office building of  one of the sensitive Wing of JCB, Delhi  situated in Delhi  in the night of 30-03-2017 which further resulted in no work in the said sensitive wing of JCB, Delhi for last at least 10 months & formal F. I. R. has not  been registered by either by Shri R K Jain ,Director, JCB, Delhi or by Shri A K Mehta, Security officer  in this regard. Many complaints of corruptions against Shri R K Jain are pending in DRDO, Delhi without any action & an order passed by Shri Arun Jaitely, the then RM  in June 2017 to initiate a disciplinary proceeding against Shri   R K Jain  in one another matter is kept dormant for last 09 months  due to  the reasons  best known to the present Secretary himself.

Whistle Blower Shri Prakash Singh , Senior Admin Officer Grade –I, posted in Joint Cipher Bureau, DRDO  has been illegally denied the entry in his duty place at JCB, Main Office, Delhi since 11-12-2017 to till to date  to keep secret & concealed the acts & omissions of corruption deliberately committed by Shri R K Jain & by his coterie  as reported by the Whisle blower twice in 2017 to none other than the Hon’ble RM . The whistle Blower Sr. A. O. Grade -1 has been hoping against hope for last more than 03 months to let the good sense prevail in the mind of  Shri R K Jain ,aristocrat director of JCB, Delhi for his entry in his duty place . He has sought time to meet in this regard twice through his representations dated 19-12-2017 & dated 23-01-2018 submitted to the present RM but of no avail. he even submitted his representation dated 22-12-2017 to Shri Zakwan Ahmed, present DG (R&M) , DRDO HQ, N.Delhi but again of no avail. He even met 2-3 times to Shri Gopal Bhusan, present DOP, DRDO HQ & he also met present secretary, DDR&D on 03-01-2018 to redress his genuine service matter long  Grievances & the Secretary even assured him to redress his Grievance mentioned in his representation dated 16-10-2017 with in next 15 days i. e. by 18-01-2018 but he did nothing to redress the service matter Grievances  & to remove  the deliberate illegality continuously committed in last 03 months in the form of illegally banning the entry of the whisle blower in his place of duty.   The CVC advised the CVO of MOD thrice through its 03 O Ms sent in 2016 to  the CVO, MOD to restore posting of the Whistle blower Shri Prakash Singh  in LASTEC, Delhi against his 03 vindictive transfers issued in 2016 but the present Secretary, present & the then  & present DOPs, DRDO HQ & the then & present  DG (HRs) had not taken any action to protect the service interest of the Whistle Blower & to implement the Advice of the CVC. The Whistle Blower  has been continuously harassed in one or the other form either by not assigning him his charter of duties  or by restricting his entry in his duty place .The then RM considered Shri PRAKASH SINGH as Whistle Blower   on the Advice of CVC & quashed the  Major penalty inflicted upon him vide DRDO HQ Order dated 30-12-2012 on false charges . The then RM even ordered  vide MOD ID No. PCto 470/ /DO(Vig)/2012 dated 19-10-2015  that those who trumped up false charges & committed a number of procedural irregularities with a single minded objective of harassing Shri PRAKASH SINGH , the then SAO-II needs to be identified & taken to the task for their mala-fide action.& action int his regard may be taken immediately & D(Vig) also be informed of the action taken in the matter on fortnightly basis.  Stiil no action has been taken against any of the officials of DRDO, MOD as yet although the Whistle Blower submitted the names of 22 officials of DRDO, MOD vide his through proper channel complaint dated 28-12-2015 submitted to the then RM who illegally harassed him & the present Secretary , present DG (ECS),   the then & present Director (Vigilance & Security) , DRDO HQ ,the then & present  DOPs,& the then & present DG(HR) DRDO HQ, New Delhi during October 2015 to till to date  have tried their best  save the Prime Facie guilty officials of DRDO, MOD who illegally harassed the whistle blower.

07 confidential complaints submitted by the Whistle Blower  in November 2017 to the present RM have been kept unactioned in DRDO HQ   for last more than 03 months  to demoralize the Whistle Blower. These facts speak volume about the state of affairs going on in DRDO, MOD particularly with regard to the HR matters.

The poor tax payer’s lakhs & lakhs of money is being wasted by this Director and Dr Christopher has no time to solve the issues.

Madam, as citizen of India it is not understandable why the HR practices of this premier organization are the way they are. Although  our honorable prime minister already sensed in a first look that this organization Motto is “Chalta Hai” and the hundreds of court cases, neck deep corruption(specially please ask construction expenses year wise), highly prevailing nepotism (anyone can see the incompetent frog jumps) itself is self explanatory.

It is therefore requested, to honorable defence minister madam, since you also find some issues on your table,  to kindly  make a serious effort to improve the HR conditions in DRDO lest it goes to complete collapse.

With great hope, Jaihind

SUBJECT: SCAM AND ASTRONOMICAL CORRUPTION IN PROCUREMENT OF DYNEEMA FABRIC IN DMSRDE KANPUR 

COMPLAINT AGAINST

  1. MR. AMIT SARAIYA, SCIENTIST ‘D’, HEAD MATERIALS MANAGEMENT GROUP (2011-2012),
  2. MR. SHIELANDRA KUMAR  SCIENTIST ‘E’, HEAD MATERIALS MANAGEMENT GROUP (2013),
  3. DR. R. K. TIWARI, SCIENTIST, ‘F’, HEAD LIGHT ENGINEERING DIVISION (LED)
  4. DR. D. N. TRIPHATI, ‘F’, HEAD RUBBER AND ADHESIVE DIVISION
  5. MR. AK, SCIENTIST ‘D’ COMPOSITE MATERIAL DIVISION
  6. MR. ARUN KUMAR SINGH, SCIENTIST ‘D’ COMPOSITE MATERIAL DIVISION & TECHNICAL STAFF OFFICER TO DIRECTOR
  7. DR. DARSHAN LAL, CHAIRMAN, ‘STORES PURCHASE COMMITTEE’(SPC)
  8. DR. DARSHAN LAL, CHAIRMAN

Sir,

BRIEF FACTS OF THE COMPLAINT

  1. Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur is an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Min. of Defence, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi.
  2. Purchase Management 2006 is applicable for procurement of store items in DRDO. Gross irregularities and violation of Purchase Management 2006 was made in procurement of Dyneema Fabric in year 2011-2013 when the cases were indented by officers of Composite Materials Divisions  under illegal orders of Head, LED & Composite Division, Head MMG & Dr. A. K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE.
  3. Dr. A K Saxena Director is an incompetent, arrogant and corrupt administrator who has violated all the rules and regulations of purchase.  In earlier complaints pending with Central Vigilance Commissioner at New Delhi and now in the present case, it becomes amply clear that he is the ‘CENTRE OF GRAVITY’ of corruption menace in DMSRDE.  Para 5.1.1 of DRDO PURCHASE MANUAL 2006 clearly states that  following cautions shall be observed for purchasing stores:
  • Bulk purchases will normally fetch quantity discount. This should, however, not lead to over-stocking resulting in expiry of shelf life or redundancy due to obsolescence.
  • Purchase orders will not be split-up to avoid the necessity for obtaining sanction of the higher authorities.
  • Open tendering should be adopted to ensure fair competition, unless it is considered expedient to follow other modes of tendering due to urgency. Purchases will be made from the lowest acceptable tenderer. Adequate care would be exercised to ensure that delivery from the vendor is within the specified time schedule.
  1. Mr. R. K Tiwari,  Head Composite Division and also Head Light Engineering Division, Dr. D N. Triphati, Head Rubber and Adhesive Division, Mr. Amit Sariaya, Head MMG (2011-2012), Mr. Shielendra Kumar Accordingly Head MMG (2013), Mr. AK, Scientist ‘D’ and Mr. Arun Kumar Singh, Scientist ‘D’ possibly under heavy pressure entered into a criminal conspiracy with Dr. A K Saxena, Director  & CFA of splitting demands of the same items, details of which are mentioned below:
  2. PROCUREMENT IRREGULARITIES OF DYNEEMA

Dyneema worth total estimated cost of Rs. 1.05 Crore was procured on limited tender basis by splitting requirement

  • 11 demands below Rs.10 lakh (to avoid TPC) were raised during 16 months period (from May 2011 to Sep 2012) which were cleared by the SPC (Store Procurement Committee) dealing cases below Rs. 10.0 lakh, headed by  Dr.  Ashok Ranjan, Joint Director and Mr. Darshan Lal, Joint Director,  as Chairman of SPC 2011 and SPC 2012, Respective   supply orders placed during Aug 2011 to  Aug 2012.
  • One demand raised by Mr. A. S. Parihar and Dr. D.N. Tripathi, Joint Director in Apr 2013 for which supply order is placed on Manglam Traders in July 2013 worth Rs 7.06 Lakh. One demand raised by Mr. Arun Kumar Singh and Dr R. K. Tiwari, Joint Director, in Feb 2013 for which supply order is  placed on SMPP Pvt. Ltd. in Nov 2013 worth Rs 25.8 Lakh.
  • Point to be noted that there is no requirement for this store in such a huge quantity as there is no running project work on Bullet Proof Jacket with DMSRDE.
  • Details are as show in table-1

Table-1ak10

  • Points to be noted that
    • The requirement split into demands below Rs. 10.0 Lakh to avoid TPC and open tender which would have fetched better quality at discounted prices.
    • Further 02 Supply Orders worth Rs 13.5 Lakhs were placed on a pet vendor Mangalam Traders, Kanpur. 02 Supply Orders worth Rs 12.5 Lakhs were placed on a pet vendor Shahi Traders, Kanpur 01 Supply Orders worth Rs 7 Lakhs were placed on a pet vendor Pee Cee Textile Stores Kanpur.
    •  06 supply orders worth Rs 58.5 Lakhs were placed on a pet vendor S M Pulp Packaging Pvt Ltd, a  manufacturer of molded pulp products, protective packaging, presentation packaging and Industrial packaging which turned to an Armour manufacturer over a period of two years  by adding  the armor division through buildup of technical knowhow in the strategic field while working with scientists of DMSRDE Kanpur on development of Bulletproof Jacket.(pls refer website http://smgroupindia.com/pulp-molded-packaging.htm).  SMPP Pvt Ltd was not registered vendor at DMSRDE from 01.01.2011 to July 2013, when the vendor supplied the Dyneema in DMSRDE.. It is interesting to see that BPJ developed by DMSRDE Kanpur is still waiting for a customer where as S M Pulp Packaging Pvt Ltd are established supplier for the same as they claim in the website that there BPJ is certified by HP White USA and TBRL Chandigarh a nodal agency of DRDO for ballistic testing.
    • Further 02 Supply Orders worth Rs 13.5 Lakhs were placed on a pet vendor Mangalam Traders, Kanpur. 02 Supply Orders worth Rs 12.5 Lakhs were placed on a pet vendor Shahi Traders, Kanpur 01 Supply Orders worth Rs 7 Lakhs were placed on a pet vendor Pee Cee Textile Stores Kanpur
    • Placement of these orders on limited tender to non-registered, known/ local vendors clearly exhibit vested interest through manipulation  in prices, quality etc so as to fetch financial benefits hence indicates financial corruption/ corrupt practices of giving business/ benefits to own firms
  • Further interesting statistics out of above is as under
    • 04 demands worth Rs. 25.5 Lakhs were raised on 15th Sep 2011 by Mr. Amit Kumar, posted in Composite Material Division, and Dr. R. K. Tiwari, Joint Director, through Light Engineering Division (LED) with a deliberate attempt to bypass Group Director of Composite Material Division, an honest person Dr. D. K. Setua for the reason that splitting of demand is not permissible as per the guide lines of DRDO’s Purchase Manual 2006.It is important to note that Mr. AK, Scientist ‘D’ is not a part of Light Engineering Division (LED). He is posted in Composite Material Division. How he can indent the cases of LED?
    • Further these demands were cleared in SPC meeting held on 28th Sep 2011 and their tender enquiry was issued on same date 03rd Oct 2011 and very magically all   the 04 No. Supply orders worth Rs. 28.5 Lakhs were fetched by the same firm M/s SMPP Pvt. Ltd. on same date  11th Nov 2011.
    • Placement of these orders on limited tender to M/s SMPP Pvt. Ltd.  clearly exhibit vested interest through manipulation in prices, quality, quantity etc so as to fetch financial benefits hence indicates financial corruption/ corrupt practices of giving business/ benefits to own firms. SMPP Pvt Ltd was not registered vendor of DMSRDE during 2011-2013.
  • In a nutshell point is that out of  Rs 1.05 crore only 02 supply order worth Rs. 16 lakhs were placed on OEM M/s DSM Dyneema BV.  Dyneema is a proprietary item of OEM M/s DSM Dyneema BV and procurement from OEM might have saved around 35% of the cost paid in form of custom duty, local dealer profit and other overheads which comes to Rs 25 to 30 lakhs of loss of poor tax payer’s money.

6.  From the facts stated above, it is amply crystal clear that prima facie material regarding Abuse of Authority by arrogant and corrupt administrator Dr. A. K. Saxena, Director DMSRDE exists.

  • That he has created a robust cobweb of corruption system and that he entered into criminal conspiracy with Chairman’s of two successive SPC committee, Head Composite Division, Head Light Engineering, Head Finance Division  with an intention to cheat DRDO and exchequer’s money.
  • In pursuance of the said criminal conspiracy,  Dr. A K Saxena, Director, present Head MMG,  and Mr. A K Singh, Technical Staff Officer of Director DMSRDE are tampering with evidence / documents that shall be prejudice to fair trial, investigation, trial or any inquiry.

7.    In view of the above mentioned facts and evidences it is earnestly requested that an order for through investigation of all procurement done by Dr. Arvind Kumar  Saxena after assuming charge as Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur to stop further corruption and wastage of poor tax payers money.
