Subject: Use/Misuse of positional power by Dr. K. Tamilmani and his staff
Sir,
Following letter is received by website from Driver Association seeks the misuse of manpower and vehicles in ADE.
As you are visiting ADE Bangalore in coming days, please do needful appropriate action for the sake of organisation and as well for misuse of poor tax payers money.
enclosed letter fully exposed the misuse of manpower and resources of ADE and GTRE. recently The New Indian Express also covered the article regarding misuse of project vehicles as staff car. The VigilanceDirectorate send a letter to all labs/estt as their letter no DVS/02/2052/P/26 dated 25 May 2015. (copy enclosed)
Interestingly, Bangalore DRDO establishment don’t bother such letters or Honorable Supreme Court Order not to put red beacon on cars. Dr.K.Tamilmani using, GTRE, Project Vehicle Toyota Innova, Sh P. Sri Kumar,Director, ADE using Toyota Innova purchased in the name of Remote Video Terminal, four Toyota Innova purchased in RUSTOM-II and one vehicle mysteriously handover to Mr Shanker, IFA deputed in Bangalore. The Toyota Innova met with accident so it is requested to initiate through inquiry for the misusing staff and project vehicles.

Subject: Corruption Complaints Status against Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE,DRDO, Kanpur & other officials working with him (Complaints during period from 29/11/2013 to 11/06/2014)
Sir,
Please find enclosed Corruption Complaints Status against Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur & other officials working with him (Complaints during period from 29/11/2013 to 15/01/2014).
All complaints sent to CVC with documentary evidences till date no action was taken by DRDO hqrs because Ex Secretary, DRD, SA to RM, DG, DRDO Sh Avinash Chander patronized Dr A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE.
DRDO hqrs constituted two fact finding committees to investigate the complaints. First fact finding committee under chairmanship of Dr S S Negi, Sc ‘H’ only grope the complaints and smell only the hands of Sh Navin Prakash Gupta, Sc ‘C’ and Sh R P Bhatt, Sc ‘F’. Rest real findings buried under the Sh Avinash chander’s table because that time Dr S S Negi was in the race of IRDE Lab directorship.
Based on his unconstitutional (because the fact finding committee jurisdiction is only find the facts and handover those facts to competent authority not to give any suggestions) suggestions DRDO hqrs transferred both scientists from DMSRDE, Kanpur and gave hurdle free play ground to Dr A K Saxena’s team to collect as much run (Gandhi) from the unrequited, low specifications items/ machineries etc from unqualified vendors. (Dr A K Singh, DOP submitted an affidavit in Allahabad court that on the basis of first fact finding committee’s suggestions DRDO transferred Sh Navin Prakash Gupta, Sc ‘C’ to DRL, Tezpur)
The copy emails are a security threat waning in the concern of defence preparedness as these emails exposes that vendors are know the all future plans of DRDO R&D that what they are planning to develop and what are their aim & objects. But unfortunately our responsible post holders are ignoring such activities of their beloved ones.
Second fact finding committee under chairmanship of Dr D.C. Pande, Sc’H’ , LRDE, Bangalore visited DMSRDE and grilled Dr A K Saxena’s team but delayed the report waited up to result of Distinguished Scientist. Unfortunately Dr D.C. Pande not able to achieved goal, submitted report. In the mean time Sh Avinash Chander hold his position very strongly and showed his lousy power by making Ms Tessy Thomas as Director, ASL and her husband Cmdr S K Patel director QRS with violation of all rules regulation, with this success he kicked the second fact finding report proudly in to dustbin.
It is requested that it is high time top show DRDO’s corrupt scientists that you are paid for science and development not for making fun ride with vendors. ( like Director, GTRE, Mohan Rao who caught by Karnataka police in massage parlor with Israeli company rep) The technology is so powerful that now 250 crores eyes are watching corrupt official’s each and every move.
The following table will show you clear picture of handling corruption complaints related to DRDO. The massage is to all corrupt officials is that nothing will happen to anyone so enjoy life with corrupt practices.
Your early needful action in this matter required. The all honest DRDO officials are waiting the decision so they can feel the difference of new fare governance.

Written by: Dr Anantha Krishnan M,Wednesday, November 19, 2014,
Bengaluru, Nov 18: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has decided to wind up the Kaveri engine (GTX-35VS ) programme, signaling an end to a desi dream of equipping its own fighter jet with a home-grown power plant. Sources in the Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed to OneIndia on Tuesday that the DRDO has already moved a file recently seeking the closure of the ambitious engine development project undertaken by Bengaluru-based Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE).
The proposal now needs to get the approval of the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and finally the clearance from the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) – a process expected to take at least a year. The Kaveri project, which began in the mid-80s, was aimed at powering the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas. GTRE has spent so far Rs 2,106 crore on the project so far and could only fly the engine for 73 hours on the IL-76 Flying Test Bed (FTB) in Russia. The delay in the project saw DRDO choosing the GE 404 engine for Tejas Mk-1 and GE 414 for Tejas Mk-II. GTRE gets additional funds Sources said that the DRDO has sanctioned Rs 300 crore for GTRE to take up future projects. “The lab is gearing up to take up some futuristic projects and the sanctions have been already given. Another additional sanction of Rs 700 crore is on its way to help realize these gen-next technologies,” an official said.
Sources confirm that a separate proposal of Rs 2,600 crore to develop engines for an ‘ambitious project’ is under consideration now. The lab has been given another Rs 70 crore for a strategic programme. Part of DRDO’s bold decision, confirms DG Refusing to divulge the finer details, Dr K Tamilmani, Director-General (Aero), DRDO, confirmed to OneIndia that the Kaveri project will be scrapped. “Yes. These are part of the bold stand being taken by DRDO. Whereever we have found bottlenecks for long time, with no realistic solutions, it’s better to move on. It is an honest stand we are taking,” Tamilmani said. When asked whether the decision was a fall out of the recent remarks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking DRDO to come out of the delay trap, the senior official refused to make a direct comment. “If you are fit to run only for 50 km, why attempt 100 km? DRDO has realized its mistakes of the past and we have no hesitation in taking some bold steps,” he said. Sources said that the MoF has sought some clarifications from DRDO on the Kaveri project, before the matter could finally reach the CCS.
Years of hard work won’t go waste: GTRE Director Dr C P Ramanarayanan, Director, GTRE, said that the DRDO decision might not be final. Leading a team of 900-plus staff at GTRE, Dr Ramanarayanan is now left with the task of inspiring the team to launch future projects. “This is not the end of the road. We have identified some 12 core areas of technologies and various teams are already at it. Years of hard work put in by the team won’t go waste either,” Dr Ramanarayanan, a torpedo specialist, told OneIndia.
He said world over not many countries have progressed ahead in making engines. “We have made a good start and despite the delays, proved our capabilities to our best of abilities. The lessons learnt will not go down the drain. India must become self sufficient in making aero engines and our efforts will continue,” he added.
As per the reply in Parliament ( LOK SABHA) against UNSTARRED QUESTION NO 596, ANSWERED ON 09.12.2013, the total 487 scientists left from DRDO from 2008 to 30th November 2013. Scientist B- 289, Scientist C- 152, Scientist D – 26, Scientist E- 13, Scientist F – 7.
Why they left – Financial reasons – very few, most young scientists join this great premier scientific organization with great enthusiasm that they will contribute their best to serve the nation, but unfortunately they encounter incompetent, greedy, bosses who got these higher posts on the basis of flattering/corruption /nepotism.
Examples are numerous but this is one real reason “I grew up in a small town called ———— and my father works for ——. All my childhood I spent in scientific community and I dreamt of becoming a scientist one day. I did that and I ignored offers from private sector and Joined DRDO.
The establishment that I joined promised me excellent work in my field of analysis and designing. At 21, I joined and things of course were very indifferent to what I dreamt of.
We had bureaucracy and people were not happy. The organization was something like a hierarchy controlled rather than intellectual oriented. I had an excellent team and my STA’s are one of the best. People never cared to harness their potential. Have no idea why.
Most of the works that we were supposed to do were outsourced; this is one thing that I fought with everybody. I did not want to work for my salary; I wanted to work for pleasure.
Finally, my team was able to deliver some engineering marvels that my superiors said it was impossible to do. My growing frustration with outsourcing was a big issue for me. A single step ahead in the project is like fighting with in.
After 5 years of service, I came to US to pursue my further studies.”
The absolute power to Lab Directors is also a big reason to derail the organizations.
The training of young scientist started with collecting quotations, making specifications, filing indents of not required instruments & items on direction of their bosses to get good APAR and promotions. If the scientist not compromise with his integrity for helping out the corruption of his bosses and Director, then immediately his harassment started by all means including transfers.
One scientist from GTRE, Bangalore genuinely approached the Director for his transfer but the egoist Director after receiving transfer order from DRDO Hqrs told him “ I will see who is going to relieve you if you pressurized me. Your dead body only can only be relieved” It is not a joke and this is the real scenario of DRDO.
The individual ask transfer without having GOD father in DRDO always get same treatment, his carrier start spoiling by Lab Directors, if Lab Directors is annoyed with any individual of lab means he will going to face social boycott by whole lab because one try to help him means he will also come under threat zone. Targeted individual start facing each and every step of his day to day work like NO TD, No support for project work, no recommendation for good work, APAR/ACR dropped to average and many more obstacles are common.
If Lab Director sniff that the individual is watching corruption or raising voice for that, it means that that individual is now going to get a kick without following the rules to remotest area with instruction that make sure that this man does not get peace at all.
DRDO has an unwritten thumb rule that when any Lab Director is not happy with any individual it means that he must be transferred to other destination without justifying the reason and the best part of this is that entire DRDO HQRS backsthat egoist corrupt director. This has resulted in the DRDO we know today.
All 25 questions raised by the Cabinet/PMO / Parliament Committee are really the honest approach to make DRDO a productive organization. DRDO is wasting more than two lakh crores worth of infrastructure without any mentionable output. DRDO should accept Genral Mallik’s comment after KARGIL WAR “casualties in the conflict could have been reduced had the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) not come in the way.”
Unfortunately, DRDO still does not understand the importance of the country’s needs. It still wastes money on SDR type of technologies, which already exist, and DRDO is ready to give second extension for PDC, like Sh R C Agarwal, who got a second extension without output.
It is requested DRDO Hqrs now Modi Ji giving full opportunity to save and grow DRDO in real means, अब तो जागो औरभ्रष्टाचार, भाई भतीजावाद, अयोग्य लोगो को आगे बढ़ाने का कार्य बंद करो। देश के विकास की और देखो। जय हिन्द
DR Gausal Khan’s, DIPAS representation also throws light of DRDO culture please go through the following pages.
Dr Tamilmani’s hidden agenda of visiting Kanpur is to show the Dr. D C Pande’s fact finding report to Dr A K Saxena and his team. In fact the report is too voluminous because the DMSRDE dozen corruption case leads lot other files too and so Dr. Tamilmani asked six senior officials to carry those procurement files which are too heavy due to corruption because everyone knows the wrongdoings carries lot of weight.
Agenda for public – to review project “Development of high oxidative & thermal stability oils (Hots Oil)”
Dinner with all scientists G and project team (one or two special invitee DMSRDEians better know who are they)
Dinner’s hidden agenda is as Dr. Tamilmani now very well understand the capability and manipulation expertise of Dr A K Saxena in procurement and after expose, damage control ability(Media connection), so after the Dinner Dr A K Saxena will give presentation to six senior officials, so they can replicate the manipulation techniques like before procurements how interact with suppliers /vendors how architect the tender and specification to fool the government laid down rules etc. – 20:00 to 22:00 (time will extend depends upon liquor quality.)

In DRDO there is no HR policy, although the post of CC R&D HR and a big HR directorate under him working in DRDO Hqrs but they are working with sole aim and object that how to execute and manage the unethical/ unconstitutional demands of DG, DRDO to all establishment heads.
Generally these demands are to adjust their beloved by any means like Smt. T Chandra Bhanu or Ms Geetha or Ms Swati Srivastva or Ms Dolly Bansal recruitment cases. Some cases come out from the four walls of DRDO but inside DRDO everyone knows this practice is continue carryon in DRDO by so called DRDO,HRD like adjustment of Commander Patel, Ex- SA’s daughter, CEPTAM Chairman’s son, Ex- Scientist ‘G’ in DEAL who was head of HRD, DEAL adjust his son Sh Saket Jain with all farzi certificates.
It is very well proven DRDO HRD can do any dam thing under wish of their AAKAS whether harassment of any individual from class IV employee to Scientist ‘H’. There is no moral exists in DRDO, HRD n numbers of examples available of transfers cases, manipulating in ACR/APAR’s, Awards to incompetents, authentication of false claims, list is too long.
The following case of Sh M R Gupta, TO ‘C’ is a clear cut case of dictatorship of DRDO officials, several years torture now Sh M R Gupta become chronic depression case.
Sh M R Gupta joined as JSA-II in 1979 in GTRE, DRDO, Bangalore, transferred to IRDE, Dehradun and subsequently joined DEAL as SSA in October 1987.
Up to 1986 his ACR’s was very good and enjoyed regular growth, but the day when then Director, IRDE Dr O P Nijhawan raised his eyebrow and put him in hit list, the bad days started and Sh M R Gupta’s service journey till date exposes the DRDO HR policy.
His 1987 ACR reflects the real bossism of Mr O P Nijhawan number dropped to 62
As IETE graduate Sh M R Gupta applied for the post of Assistant executive engineer in I & B through UPSC and got selected but Dr O P Nijhawan not supplied his 1987 ACR so he was deprived to get post.
Dr. O P Nijhawan’s effect also passed to DEAL and it was always made confirm that any advantage should not passed to Sh M R Gupta,
Sh M R Gupta qualified 9 times LDCE examination of Scientist ‘B’, the RTI revealed that RAC maintained the boss wishes. No one imagine the act of RAC officials.
Sh M R Gupta‘s ACR/ APAR of 1995 and 96 was found blank.
The 2004 ACR/APAR was reviewed by Sh Y P Sehgal, Ex Sc ‘G’ illegally as Sh M R Gupta was never worked with him and put adverse remark “ Onedisciplinary case is with DRDO Hqrs” and remark was duly approved by the Director, Sh Ashok Sen and it was not even communicated to Sh M R Gupta.
DRDO having very common scenarios that if one official is in hit list then all chamchas never leave any chance to fix him to make happy the boss.
In case of Sh M R Gupta same thing happened, several attempts were done to harm, Dr. B S Jassal throw his wife’s medical bill for unforeseen reason and exchanged heat argument, in those argument frustrated Sh M R Gupta told him that I will jumped from the building, very next movement the explanation call with initiation of disciplinary action raised against him.
In 2004 Sh Mahakar Singh, Sc ‘G’ also demonstrated the extreme loyalty and one incident he scrimmage with Sh M R Gupta in his office room, next moment the room was sealed and an ION was served and an inquiry was constituted in a hurry and stage was set for dismiss Sh M R Gupta. By grace of God Sh M R Gupta approached local police and case was registered, subsequently after lower court to high court and again to lower court Sh Mahakar Singh rendered his apology in front of Session Judge, Dehradun and matter was closed.
This is not a single case, the HR policy ingest lot of DRDO officials by heart attack, High blood pressure, increasing number of bye passes, inserting stunts, depressions or exodus.
You can rate DRDO HR policy 5 stars, 4 stars, 3 stars, 2 stars or 1 star after going through the following papers.
MR. M R Gupta’s 1987’s ACRMR M R Gupta ACR 1987Amazing score card of LDCE, RAC can anyone believe the DRDO HR policy
