Govt bans printing of calendars, diaries, festival greeting cards by all ministries, PSUs

By Gaurav Noronha, ET Bureau Sep 03, 2020
The government has banned the printing of materials like calendars, diaries and festival greeting cards by all ministries, departments and public sector undertakings (PSUs).
The finance ministry asked all the organs of the government to adopt digital means to publish such material, in a memorandum on Wednesday.

“The Government of India has decided that there will be no further activities towards printing wall calendars, desktop calendars, diaries, festival greeting cards and similar materials by all Ministries/Departments/Autonomous Bodies and other organs of the Government,” the directive said.

Further, the government also banned the printing of coffee table books and directed that e-books should be used instead…
“The printing of Coffee Table books is also banned and appropriate use of E-Books is encouraged. Therefore, all concerned are directed to make efforts to adopt innovative means to use digital or online method for the above activities,” it said.
This was the second such decision which appears to be aimed at rationalising costs with regard to the government’s printing activities and encouraging the adoption of digital tools.

As per a cabinet secretariat decision last month, the diary and calendar printing activities for all ministries, departments and PSUs would be centrally handled by the Bureau of Outreach and Communication (BOC).

The secretariat had directed all government bodies to submit their diary and calendar printing requirements to the BOC by August and that the printing and distribution of these materials should be completed by December.
The government has been making a conscious effort to adopt digital means wherever applicable.

“Given the prevailing circumstances in which the world is increasingly moving towards adopting digital force-multipliers for productivity, the Government of India has decided to follow this best practice,” a statement from the finance ministry said.

“There is to be a concerted effort towards incorporating innovative methods in such matters. Using technological innovations for planning, scheduling and forecasting is well known to be economical, efficient and effective,” it added

ToT holders of controversial DRDO bio toilet forms nexus in the name of Association

1 Comment

ToT holders of controversial DRDO bio toilet forms nexus in the name of Association. Till date these toilets are purchased by either central government or state governments at a huge cost. Dr Lokendra Singh who was once director of DRDE and so called inventor of bio digester technology after shifted alliance to  Bio Toilets ToT holders association as its chairman. Interesting point to be noted here is these toilets being installed by these ToT holders needs inspection and certification by DRDE Gwalior of which Dr Loknedra Singh was director and his earlier team members currently working at senior levels in DRDE are the certifying officials. As chairman of such association whose sole buyer is Govt. and  his earlier team members worked under him at DRDE  as certifying officials even layman can understand who are the people being benefited from such criminal nexus at the expense of tax payer money.

Fresh Proof of bogus claims of Hi-Fi Bio toilet by Dr. Lokendra Singh

5 Comments

As Dr Lokendra Singh, Master manipulator of DRDE who is fooling around Govt. and public at will in the name of Bio toilets going to retire a month a fresh proof of his Farzi Invention has emerged. Many scientists of DRDE pressed red button about genuinely of Gobar Toilets every now and then, even one of the scientist approached CVC about blowing out of proportion about very basic technique of bio gas production using cow dung and selling it to unsuspected Govt and public with investment of 1000s crores of public money (vide complaint no 16653/2014/Vigilance 9 dated 24/07/2014 & 27168/2014/Vigilance 7 dated 11/09/2014).

As per the recent article in NDTV an Engineer from Akola making biotoilets since a decade by using bacteria from cow dung and successfully installed 100s of such toilets in Maharashtra by just charging and recharging septic tank with bacteria from Fresh Cow dung. As per the website of this engineer each bio toilet is costing Rs 6000 only of which actual cost is going for constructing toilet structure but not to any microbial technology (story “With Low Cost And Smart Bio-Toilets An Engineer Brings Change To Rural Maharashtra” By: Anisha Bhatia  | April 27, 2017 (http://bit.ly/2p976Gn)). Arvind Dethe, the engineer developed bio-toilets or smart toilets that would cost only Rs. 6,000, using anaerobic bacteria but he never visited Maitri, Antarctica, who is not even a biologist, can the Govt ask this gentleman to fix the bio –toilet for public and railways or ask him teach the simple technique of bio toilet making to citizens enmass instead of simply allowing few companies under patronage of Dr. Lokendra Singh to eat public money.

In the complaint of senior Scientist of DRDE, the same point was mentioned in CVC complaint by DRDO scientist but none of his pleas were heard under mysterious circumstances instead he was shunted out and others such scientists are being harassed.  Dr Lokendra Singh’s fictitious invention was being advertised by  DRDO wasting crores of rupees in full page ad in all national papers. Time and again voice of concern was raised in various news papers but Govt is unfazed to prevent this huge magnitude of corruption in the name of science and technology. DRDO brazenly bluffed in the parliament about these so called toilets against question asked by one of the honorable Member of Parliament (UNSTARRED QUESTION NO-2498 asked by Honorable MP Shri Amar Shankar Sable Regarding unpleasant smell, using of cow dung in Bio toilets developed by DRDO)

DRDO dedicated (Lokarpan) these toilets two times and fooled the country. The game is still on and Ministry of Railway putting Bio-Toilet every year beside the complaints of foul smell (By Rajendra B Aklekar, Mumbai Mirror | May 5, 2015, http://bit.ly/2pENOdw). DRDO Bio-Toilets raise a stinks – By Hemant Kumar Rout Published: 13th August 2016 – The New Indian Express (http://bit.ly/2oRxr9p)    No hygienic study was done before finalizing the installment.

  5.  Jairam Ramesh’s pet project ‘Bio-toilet’ stands abandoned in OdishaBy Hemant Kumar Rout – BALASORE/BHADRAK Published: 14th August 2012 (http://bit.ly/2p9uaET)

Honorable PM Modi ji requested to please put DRDO in your corruption free agenda in priority because every minute DRDO corrupt officials sitting in TOP pulling country down in defence technology race and interestingly this agenda maintain after retirement by sitting either government posts or with private organization, their sole aim to mint money till death.

It is high time for Hon. Prime Minister to set right things in DRDO and call for an independent enquiry into these bio toilets and order investigation into CVC complaint and take action against the perpetrators of the fraud.

Subject: Intimation about deliberate illegal acts and omissions done in DRDO.

Sir,                                                                                                                                                     Please find following informations about the intentional unlawful acts and omissions made in DRDO, MOD

  1. Shri Krishan Kumar and Shri J B Singh retired joint Directors of AFHQ Cadre of the o/o JS (T) & CAO, MOD have been appointed as consultants in the ADA, Bangalore (an autonomous body under the administrative control of DRDO, MOD.) soon after their retirement on superannuation for the regular official work of ADA Bangalore and they have been illegally posted in the very sensitive establishment of DRDO i.e. RAC, Delhi. these two (02) consultants are used illegally to attend the court cases at CAT Delhi & High Court of Delhi filed by regular employees of the DRDO like court case of retired Scientist ’G’ Shri Virender Kumar of DEAL Dehradun. These consultants even illegally screen the applications of direct recruitments of scientist in DRDO & in such screening no meticulous screening is carried out by these consultants resulting selection of ineligible & relatives of senior scientist of DRDO as a quid –pro-que. Moreover there is imminent danger of favoritism and leakage of confidential and sensitive documents/information of RAC Delhi.
  2. Shri S T Rajan & Shri R Natrajan retired joint Directors of AFHQ Cadre of the o/o JS (T) & CAO, MOD have been appointed as consultants in the program office of DRDO HQ New Delhi in the missiles program for carrying out routine works for which already their relievers in the form of regular employees have been posted in DRDO HQ. these retired GOVT. servants are also appointed against the vacancies of ADA Bangalore and posted in DRDO HQ New Delhi. they don’t belong to scientific or technical cadre. There is imminent danger of the leakage of the sensitive informations at their level.
  3. Shri V K Shrama retired joint Directors of AFHQ Cadre of the o/o JS (T) & CAO, MOD has been appointed as consultants in the o/o DOP, DRDO HQ New Delhi with the approval of the then defence minister of GOI by misrepresentation & distortion of the material facts particularly with regard to the actual need of hiring him as consultant. His services have been utilized for the assignments  for which he has not been appointed. There is imminent danger of leakage of the sensitive information.
  4. Dr. A K Singh, present DOP of DRDO HQ New Delhi has played an active role in illegal extension of the periods of consultancy and in new engagements of consultancies of the retired GOVT. servants which he carried out with deliberate misrepresentation and distortion of the material facts submitted to the various senior authorities of DRDO, MOD & to the defence minister.
  5. Shri A K Singh present DOP of DRDO HQ New Delhi did not take any initiative to suspend Shri G Malakondiah, the then CC R&D (HR of DRDO HQ) for his conviction in a contempt of court case of the high court of the judicature of Chennai on 24-sept-2014 although this conviction news came in almost all the important daily newspapers including Hindusthan times New Delhi edition. No convicted person can be retained in GOVT. service even for a single day if the news of his conviction comes to the notice of the concerned public authority through formal or informal channel. The stay granted to Shri Malakondiah on 26-09-2014 by the apex court was restricted to the implementation of the imprisonment and not his conviction. The convicted person was deliberately allowed an opportunity to influence the witnesses and to tamper, mend, amend, destroy, replace & concealment of the concerned documents against the public interest due to lake of devotion to duty and possession of doubtful integrity of the concerned officials of the DRDO HQ New Delhi.
  6. the number of retired officials of DRDO, AFHQ Cadre appointed as consultants, directly violating the rules of consultancy, for the regular work of DRDO has reached to the alarming point where regular employees are considering illegal interference of the consultants in their regular sphere of duties and are also feeling frustrated and de-motivated which is playing havoc on the output of the DRDO as an organization.

I hope that some appropriate concrete action would be taken against the concerned guilty officers of DRDO & all Deviations and distortions would be set right in the national interest.

SUBJECT: Deliberate Violation of FCS Scheme in DRDO

Sir,

1.       Enclosed please find the report prepared to expose the violation of FCS rules by DRDO authorities.

2.       Dr. A K Singh, present Director of Personal was staff officer to CC R&D,HR in 2004 as Sc’E’

3.       In 2007 and 2011 violating all the norms of DoPT as approved by President of India, Dr. A K Singh was promoted firstly as Scientist ‘F’ and  then Scientist ‘G’

4.        Dr. A K Singh was party as DHRD, DRDO Hqrs with RAC Chairman (then) Dr P S Goel who was amended SRO for which he was not authorized and fabricated the condition where corruption/nepotism/ favoritism could flourished.( Copy of letter issued by Dr P S Goel). This clear-cut violation of Article 309 which was supported by Dr V K Saraswat then SA to RM. Dr V K Saraswat was pioneer in misappropriate of Govt funds, misinterpretation of Govt. rules as resulted the honorable defence minister recommended CBI  intervention against him and nine other top ex officials of DRDO.

5.       Dr A K Singh is big inspiration of incompetent scientists for achieving fast promotions without doing scientific work. The 2014 recent assessment call list reflected the Dr A K Singh’s path, Sh Ashok Sharma, Scientist ‘D’ get assessment call in three years residency period, involved full time working as works officer his big scientific achievement is putting Air conditioners in boss place, placing good tiles and other day to day sundry civil works in premises of INMAS and other important places where the key of outstanding APAR found.

6.       Sir, Ask DRDO that how many scientists and officials are not appearing for assessment, the level of humiliation are in peak because of after working delicately for years and years but superseding by those who are incompetent and doing non scientific works.

7.       The case of Dr A K Singh be thoroughly examined in the light of FCS rules and appropriate action may please be taken for manipulation of SRO which deprived many dedicated scientists to get their due credits. It is directly related to performance and output of DRDO.

8.       Sir, for sake of DORO, for sake of our defence preparedness, for sake of dignity of real scientists, it is requested immediate action and directive is needed to stop the violation of FCS rules.

 

 

With warm regards

Happy Holi, Holi Mubark

The Defence Minister

Happy Holi, Holi Mubark to honorable Raksha Mantri Ji,

Happy Holi, Holi Mubark to each and every true Indian who thinks for the country and dreams of self-reliance, secure, healthy and honest India including our defence sector.

In the Holika Dhahan occasion we congratulate and support our honest Defence Minister Sh A.K. Antony for starting swaha of corrupt officials in our defence sector. We are also thankful to him for taking such exemplary action (suspension just half an hour before his retirement after enjoying extension in service for two years) against Dr. Arun Kumar, Ex-DOP, DRDO.

Sir, there are so many other corrupt DRDO senior officials who deserve the same action from your side. These officers exploit DRDO by inducting incompetent family members in different levels, involving procurement businesses as the name of ex- air chief name is accused. If DRDO is investigated, you will find that SPIC, ASL, DRDL, HEMRL, GTRE, TBRL and lots of other DRDO labs are busy in the same manner. We have already shared some information with IB, CBI and other agencies. The family members, relatives and friends of these corrupt DRDO officials are enjoying shares of DRDO funds.

There are many more secrets of incompetent DRDO officers mishandling constitutional valid rules for their wasted interest.

RAC of DRDO established to accelerate the recruitment process of potential scientists. However, unfortunately RAC is losing its utility and working as it is now a tool for corrupt senior DRDO officials to encourage corrupt and incompetent stuff in DRDO and it is also being used for demoralizing the honest and real R&D scientists. The increasing representations and court cases are the live examples of these acts.  We think that by now, you are also fed up by answering a lot of honorable parliament members, who are regularly asking the exodus of DRDO scientists.

Recently, as per sources, in one court case, a scientist accused that the thenRACChairman Dr. P.S. Goel unconstitutionally cleared screening committee’s list. The claim is that the list was not signed by the members. It is not surprising because Dr. P.S. Goel has already violated Article 309 by issuing a letter for modifying the SRO on his own without approval of cabinet vide letter no.RAC/01/Assessment/PSG dated 27, March 2011. This was blindly done to give benefits to some incompetent DRDO officials out of way; in return, Dr. P.S. Goel got DRDO chair which costs nearly Rs. 83 lakhs per year on the poor tax payer.

Dr. R.C. Aggarwal, Director DEAL, DRDO gave unceremonious favor to another Agarwal, a scientist of his lab for the post, outstanding scientist. This outstanding scientist had been claimed that “his main contribution has been the development of NARAD, the first semi-static and transportable terminals developed in the country. These terminals were immediately deployed in SRI LANKA during operation PAWAN where they have played a vital Role.”  We are waiting for RTI reply on this subject from DRDO, but we know personally this claim is totally false and used to make him an outstanding scientist.

Another great job was done by DRDO when DRDO ignored your power delegation orders No 36(3)/ 2009-D(O&M), Govt. of India, Min of Def, dated 1 June 2009 and No 36(3)/2012-D(O&M), Govt. of India, Min of Def, dated 5 Nov 2012. . DRDO took approval to suspension/dismissal of honest officials from RRM and in this respect they also filed affidavit in the honorable courts that they got approval from RRM on the subject matter.

Sir this is the tip of the iceberg and the main reason of the exodus, court cases and unproductiveness of DRDO.

Sir, in the DRDO scenario a lot of evil things are waiting for your Holika Dhahan like

  1. Arun Kumar’s daughter’s illegal appointment.
  2. Selwamurthy’s daughter’s illegal appointment.
  3. T.Chandrabanu’s illegal appointment
  4. Prof S K Salwan’s , illegally given DRDO chair (ignored the age limit)
  5. Vasudev’s illegal stay and involvement in SPIC (the IB already reported his daughter’s involvement)
  6. Dr Prahlada ’s VC, DIAT appointment  (ignored his all corrupt activities including remark for SC candidate)
  7. DLRL security surveillance procurement which was submitted with evidences to you only an eyewash inquiry was done by DRDO officials)
  8. Appointment of Sh Dharmendra Kumar, Scientist ‘B’ helped by Dr Arun Kumar, He was MSc,(2001)  at the time of joining in DRDO as STA (2003)

List is too long and the paper will fall short but we are assured that you will surely swaha some corrupt officials in this holy holi festival.

Govt not to extend DRDO chief’s tenure

17 Comments

ByJosy Joseph, TNN | Mar 13, 2013, 04.14 AM IST

NEW DELHI: A high profile campaign mounted to ensure an extension for the Defence Research and Development Organisation chief has failed to impress the government and it has decided not to extend the tenure of V K Saraswat, who is set to retire in May.

The decision is being seen as part of the ongoing effort to immediately roll out an ambitious roadmap to significantly improve indigenisation of military procurement, pull up military research and minimize corruption in defence deals. The unusual hurry has been brought about by embarrassing revelations about payment of over Rs 350 crore kickbacks in the VVIP helicopter scandal.

The government is finalising a proposal to amend the Defence Procurement Procedure to make ‘Buy and Make (Indian)’ the first priority in defence procurement and thus bring in Indian private sector in a big way into defence manufacture.

There is also a move to remove software and advisory and consultancy services from the list of offset services that foreign defence companies can offer to India. Sources in the military establishment see the move to deny an extension to Saraswat as part of these efforts.

Over the past several months, there has been an aggressive effort by Saraswat and his well-wishers to secure an extension for the missile scientist. Among high profile persons to endorse Saraswat’s extension was former president and the most famous DRDO chief, A P J Abdul Kalam.

Sources said Kalam had sent an eloquent endorsement of Saraswat, who has also been actively seeking to stay in office for a longer period. Besides being the director general of DRDO, he is also the scientific advisor to the defence minister and secretary (defence research and development).

Saraswat’s tenure ran into trouble last year after a special financial audit of DRDO found many lacunae in the way financial powers were exercised by the DRDO chief. The defence ministry later found that a mid-2010 order issued to hike the financial powers of the DRDO chief went against the norms recommended by a high powered committee headed by former defence secretary and present CVC Pradeep Kumar.

The Pradeep Kumar committee had recommended several measures based on the report of Rama Rao committee for overhauling DRDO functioning and improving its efficiency. The financial powers were hiked selectively, but without getting CAG approval as had been recommended, the government later found.

The defence ministry in September 2012 issued an order saying the DRDO chief would take all financial decisions in consultation with the finance division of the ministry. The DRDO chief until then had autonomous power to grant financial approvals up to Rs 50 crore.

Sources said the government is also not happy with the progress made in implementing Rama Rao committee report. An immediate time-bound roadmap is expected for implementation of the report.

Nearly 700 scientists quit DRDO in six years, says Govt

Nearly 700 scientists have resigned from India’s premier military research body DRDO in little less than six years from 2007, Defence Minister A K Antony said on Wednesday.

In a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha on resignation of scientists from Defence Research and Development Organisation(DRDO), Mr. Antony said a total of 637 scientists resigned during 2007-2011 and 50 scientists up to October 31 this year.

Scientists who had resigned have either cited personal or domestic reasons for leaving DRDO, Mr. Antony said.

However, it is assumed that increased opportunities or incentives available in other organisations and industries are the main reason of such resignation, he added.

On incentives taken as corrective measures to restrict resignation of scientists from DRDO, Mr. Antony said excellent infrastructure facilities have been created at work places and residential complexes and two additional increments have been given on promotion to each grade.

To another question, Mr. Antony said DRDO is a subordinate organisation under Defence Ministry and does not enjoy any special powers or autonomy because of its strategic nature of work.

Asked whether DRDO enjoys a huge amount of autonomy because of its strategic nature of work, he said, “DRDO is a subordinate organisation under the Department of Defence( R&D) in Defence Ministry and is governed by central government rules and regulations.

“Therefore, DRDO as an organisation does not enjoy any special powers or autonomy because of its strategic nature of work.”

Revised delegation of financial powers of Director General of DRDO was carried out in 2010 to address a long standing requirement and was done after due process and deliberation, he said.

“The process of exercise of these powers has been further rationalised and a corrigendum has been issued by Department of Defence (R&D) on November 21, 2012 as a partial modification to the earlier financial powers,” the minister added.

Seeking judicial intervention in the cases of corruption in DRDO

3 Comments
Dear Prabhu,
Time has now come to seek judicial intervention for  investigation in the acts of omission and commission of DRDO chief as GoI   (MoD) does not seem to be acting against culprits. This person , when in trouble,  tries to divert attention by firing couple of toys in the sky. He is so blatant in his acts of favoritism and nepotism that despite the orders of constitutional bodies , he tries is his best to dilute the action. As I set the ball in motion for seeking intervention of Delhi High Court ( and of SC if necessary) , I would like to appeal to , through your blog,  all like minded  countrymen to join me in making DRDO a better place to work in. These rouge elements have destroyed DRDO and they must be brought to book and punished suitably.I was proud of DRDO once but have been deeply saddened  by what is happening in this wonderful organisation. A bunch of looters , thugs and rouges have destroyed it . Kindly communicate to all concerned that they may contact me to start the judicial campaign  to clean up DRDO.As you may also be aware  that despite all the pressure/ request  of Solicitor General to the SC bench to dispose off my present petition (on the plea that  PMO  itself is taking action in NTRO scam case,) the SC  bench rebuffed the Govt by saying that ‘ this court have reasons to believe that Govt is taking action only after the intervention of this court and hence monitoring of investigation ( in NTRO scam) by this court  will contine.’In so far as my second PIL on the issue of accountability of Indian Intelligence Agencies is concerned, my junior advocate on record in SC   Rohit Singh (who prepared the petitions for filing ) was down with slip disc for last 3 months and hence the delay in filing second PIL. We hope to file two more PILs  shortly directly in  SC .The evidence and constitutional position is documentary and irrefutable. .The whole exercise/aim  is to ensure that executive arrogance be questioned and agencies work as per Indian Constitution and ‘Thughs and Robbers ‘ are brought to book.

I must tell you that I did nothing big in exposing corruption in NTRO , merely used my right as the citizen of India and sought judicial intervention after Govt failed to act. I know that all out attempts are still being made to delay the action against the big wigs in NTRO ( quite a few middle level and junior level officials have been dismissed or have resigned – in all about 90+ ; but the politically well connected are still being protected by delaying action) . Usual stuff and predictable action by Govt. My case and other cases prove the point that ‘how so ever big you may be , you are non-entity in front of the law’. Hence if you want some concrete action to be taken in DRDO case , seek judicial intervention; do not expect one looter/thug  to act against another looter/thug. I have seen well  known individuals shaking when it comes to questioning by courts .

Remember if I can do it, others can do it as well . So it is high time that all right thinking people join hands and work together to save DRDO .

Best wishes,

Subject – Tender pulling ways in DRDO by corrupt Scientist – shelter by seniors for pecuniary   arrangement – High revenue loss to Govt. of India.

Respected Sir,

Never possible that Mr. Sarasvat  SA to RM  is unknown from the Tender pulling ways in DRDO by corrupt scientist and sheltered by the seniors put up a big question and if he is not known then it is also a question to the intelligence and vigilance agencies. I put up few cases here sufficient to show the corruption and a high revenue loss to the Govt. of India

1- Ex – Scientists of DRDO getting the Tenders with the pecuniary arrangement with his colleagues Presently working in DRDO. — HERML having practice to hire outside manpower to produce explosive and the companies involved in this business is related to ex- DRDO senior officials. Dr Hardwar Singh, Ex- Director HEMRL & present director M/s Viswaat Chemicals Pvt Ltd since 2006), the sources said that earlier he was sleeping partner (his son Bunty was inducted in the firm as an employee) when he was active Director, HEMRL.  [ For detail Pl. see Annex-I]

2- Single contractor submit tenders in different names and pull the tender on high value — Dr S K Vasudeva ex Director spic (presently Program Director at the age of 66 yrs).Dr S K Vasudeva has a close friend Sh Sudhir Marwaha.Sh Sudhir marwaha has created many namesake companies in the name of his close relatives  and friends. Tenders are filled by these relatives and friends in the name of these namesake companies for all the construction and technical projects in SPIC DRDO.All the projects in this way are awarded to Sh Sudhir Marwaha by CCE R&D( for the last one decade). [ For detail Pl. see Annex-II]

3- Back door support —        Tender   released to another party came through back door with the support of DARE senior members who  took  all product  input, budget, data  sheets and quoted rates accordingly to pull tenders.[ For detail Pl. see Annex – III]

A high revenue loss is expected from this type of the tender pulling techniques developed by corrupt scientists. Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri  & Secretary DRDO , Mr. Sarasvat is fully Accountable & Responsible to  Govt. of India revenue loss.

I request you to take suitable action against the corrupt scientist / accountable officer and prevent the tender pulling by the Ex – Scientists of DRDO getting the Tenders with the pecuniary arrangement with their colleagues presently working in DRDO.

 

With high regards,

Your’s,  Sincerely.

 

(Rajiv Chauhan)

sir,

 

With due respect I state that I have sent complaint to ministry of defence regarding corruption of thousands of crores of rupees done by Dr S K Vasudeva ex Director spic(presently Program Director at the age of 66 yrs).Dr S K Vasudeva has a close friend Sh Sudhir Marwaha.Sh Sudhir marwaha has created many namesake companies in the name of his close relatives  and friends.Tenders are filled by these relatives and friends in the name of these namesake companies for all the construction and technical projects in SPIC DRDO.All the projects in this way are awarded to Sh Sudhir Marwaha by CCE R&D( for the last one decade).Due to weak and lukewarm responce of the ministry of defence these sharks are looting our country.Due to suffocated atmosphere in SPIC DRDO(most sensitive organisation of national importance),the security of our country is in extreme danger.It is requested that an immediate  drastic action is taken to stop this mess,otherwise it will be too late.Inaction will result in disaster at an early date.Regards,Sandeep Chopra,Senior Scientist E ,SPIC DRDO ,delhi.Residence-270-c,urban estate,phase-1,jamalpur,ludhiana,punjab,india.phone-09779413097,01612677097.

Dear Sir,

 

Thank you for reading this mail.

I have faith on our system, that’s why I am writing to you even after RTI rejected my request to provide a satisfactory answer.

The purpose of this mail is to “delink our scientists from the external polluted world” and if anyone does it for his own interest he or she must be noticed and get the due reward so that our new generation of scientists will focus on more creative things than doing unwanted jobs”

 

1.This is a requirement for a entirely new technology product called ARINC -818 used for Video data over Fibre Channel”

2. Normally for new technology it’s practice to initially purchase off the shelf product to get familiar with the technology.

3. Based on this requirement we spent almost 8 months time with DARE team to provide demo, data sheets etc etc.

4. finally tender came with our specification ( a product from GRT, USA).

5. since the requirement was very urgent they asked us to delivery in 4 weeks. You can see the same in the tender specification attached for your reference

6.after tender is released another party came through backdoor with the support of DARE senior members took all our product input, budget, data sheets and quoted

7. Due to his link he has managed to grab the order with 16 weeks as delivery time as a development project ( if it has to be a development project there are many companies to quote for the same, but since it was 4 weeks delivery no one quoted as it understood to be a off the shelf product.

9. the tender opening was delayed to make this party do some development job.

10. However it was not delivered ( as expected) even after 16 weeks.

11. in the mean time we asked the details of what this party is going to supply ( only technical info) in 16 weeks and i was replied in negative by RTI reply.

12. we even got calls to withdraw the complain which was actually not a complaint but an information. I have attached the RTI letter for your reference.

13. I request you to take this investigation forward as Mr. Arun kumar is not very responsive and showing negative interest on such matters.

14. It seems if no one ask them they will take their sweet time to deliver something which of course will be acceptable to DARE team as the TOP Senior people have the blessings. However it is not the way we look forward our scientist to get involved in favouritism to this extent and which will not take us forward.

 

We look forward for a quick and satisfactory investigation to this matter which will have a positive impact.

 

Best Regards

Kubendiran
