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.

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.
Experience Certificate issued by Prof Vani Brahmachari.

To 26th September 2014 Dr D C Pande,Scientist ‘H’, Outstanding Scientist,Chairman 2nd Fact finding Committee constituted for DMSRDE corruptionLRDE, DRDO, Bangalore
Dear Pandey Ji,
As you very well aware the complaints against Dr.Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur and estimated amount involved in corruption is about 7.5 crore is a tip of ice berg only.
Sh. Avinash Chander (Padam Shree) appointed 1st FFIC under Chairmanship of Dr.S.S. Negi, Scientist ‘H’ as Chairman and Shri Manoj Bali , Scientist ‘G’ and Shri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ as members of FFIC. This FFIC visited DMSRDE, Kanpur on 13-14 March 2014 and submitted FFIC report in a speedy manner in April 2014. This illegal committee submitted fake report as directed by Shri Avinash Chander who patronage Dr. AK Saxena and in lieu of obedience both Dr.SS Negi and Manoj Bali were awarded by big boss.
You are aware that Dr. SS Negi has been appointed as Director, IRDE, Dehradun and Shri Manoj Bali, Scientist ‘G’ is promoted as Scientist ‘H’ superseded 55 senior scientists as his senirity roll no is 71, despite several honest and eligible scientists have been ignored.
You have been appointed as Chairman of 2nd FFIC by big boss with same hope that you also show your loyalty and obedience towards him but your honesty came in path and you still not submitted the report to big boss and not giving clean chit to Dr. AK Saxena who is very close friend of mini DG & DOP Dr. A.K. Singh. Thereby your name is not in today list of promotes for the year 2014 for Distinguished Scientist. May be it will come in supplementary list?
You are fully aware that now Government has been changed and our Prime Minister is not happy with DRDO’s Chalta hai attitude, for FFIC as maximum time for submission report is three months as per DOPT Inquiry Manual, CVC expects preliminary investigation to be completed within three months.
You have visited DMSRDE, Kanpur on 09-10, July 2014 and completed the FFI. Now third month is coming to end soon and Director (Vigilance), MOD has sought Director (Vigilance & Security), DRDO for consolidated report by his letter dated 04 August 2014.
In recent judgment of Madras High Court, Hon’ble justice commented “Scientist have no excuse that they have no administrative knowledge” and thereby two great senior officials have been sentenced three week imprisonment. Although DRDO हाथ क़ानून से भी लम्बे है today they filed SLP in Supreme Court and got time further with the help of poor tax payers money. पर कब तक ?
Don’t worry sir, one chance still there for you with for being DS in case you submit true report solely based on voice of your sole. You remember that “गरीबों की सुनो वो तुम्हारी सुनेगा, इस साल नहीं हुआ लेकिन अगले साल प्रमोशन होगा”.
क्योंकि अगले असेसमेंट तक अविनाश चन्दर जी तो होंगे नहीं मोदी जी २ अक्टूबर को झाड़ू लगा कर भारत को स्वच्छ बनाने का अभियान छेड़ रहे , भाई साहेब अब सफाई तो होगी ही उसको कोई नहीं रोक सकता ।
You submit the report to justice with poor tax payers money so that culprits of corruption in DMSRDE could be punished CVC and higher authorities.
विषय : डीआरडीओमें श्री अविनाश चन्दर, वैज्ञानिक सलाहकार द्वारा जागीरदारी
माननीय श्री प्रधानमंत्री जी यह एक बड़े खेद का विषय है कि इतने महत्वपूर्ण संगठन के शीर्ष अधिकारी श्री अविनाश चन्दर जी ने सारी नैतिकताओं को दर किनार करते हुए डीआरडीओ में अपनी जागीरदारी चला रखी है।
आपने दिल्ली में जो देख कर जनता को लालकिले से अपना अनुभव बताया कि सब विभागों में अपनी अपनी जागीरदारी चल रही है वह एक पूर्ण सत्य है।
श्री अविनाश चन्दर जी ने अभी कुछ समय पहले एक वैज्ञानिक ‘जी’ पद में बहुत ही मनमाने ढंग सब नियत मानको की अनदेखी कर रिटायर कमोडोर सरोज पटेल की नियुक्ति करी है।
श्री अविनाश चन्दर जी ने रिटायर कमोडोर सरोज पटेल की सिर्फ नियुक्ति ही नहीं करी बल्कि डीआरडीओ के 507 वरिष्ठ वैज्ञानिक ‘जी’ की वरिष्ठता को दरकिनार करते हुए श्री पटेल को नियुक्ति के चार दिनों में डायरेक्टर के पद में भी बैठा कर वैज्ञानिको का मनोबल गिरा दिया है।
पूरे देश ने कारगिल जंग के समय डीआरडीओ की असफलताओ को देखा था और सबको जनरल मालिक के शब्द याद है ” डीआरडीओ के वजह से सेना वेपन लोकेटर रडार नहीं प्राप्त हो पाया और जिसके कारण सेना को अपने इतने जवान खोने पड़े”
आपसे आशा है की निम्न प्रेषित उक्त नियुक्ति की धांधली के पूर्ण विवरण को सी वी सी को जाँच के लिए आदेश देंगे जिससे डीआरडीओ के समर्पित वैज्ञानिको का मनोबल बढ़ सके और वे देश की विकास में भागीदारी में अपना पूर्ण योगदान कर सके।

SUBJECT:RECRUITMENT SCAM –II IN DRDO
Recruitment of Sh Saroj Kumar Patel, Scientist ‘G’ and Appointment on post of Director, Directorate of Quality, Reliability &Safety (DQRS), DRDO HQ Complaint against Sh Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO, SA to RM, Secretary, DRD
Sir,
Nepotism, favoritism, corruption and manipulations with vested interest in higher recruitment by misusing powers by HOD are very common practices now days in Government system by different means.
Based on the practices stated above, the Recruitment Scam-I occurred in DRDO in which several top Scientists including some ex-DGR&D, ex-CCR&D, ex-Directors and their daughters & relatives were involved. Several complaints were made to CVC & Defence Minister regarding Recruitment Scam-I and consequently CVC advices disciplinary action against Dr. Arun Kumar, Ex-DOP under major penalty vide OM No. 010/DEF/039/184877 dated 23.08.2012.(Copy enclosed-I).
Dr. Arun Kumar was suspended on the last day of his superannuation. Similarly some other Scientist Dr. S M Veerbhadrapa, Ex-Director, DTRL then HRD Charge Sheeted and Smt Chandra bano, Scientist ‘F’, DHRD was dismissed from service just 12 days before retirement. Since top ten officials of DRDO involved in Recruitment Scam-I were retired therefore on advice of Director (Vigilance) & CVO, Min. of Defence , then Defence Minister recommended CBI probe in Recruitment Scam-I of DRDO vide Dte (Vigilance), MOD note no.48-55 ante observations of JS & CVO at note 56 ante in November 2013. The news was published in media. Copy enclosed (II).
Shri Avinash Chander then CCR&D(MSS) also played an important role in Recruitment Scam-I while being member of expert committee under Chairmanship of Prof. SK Salwan, he gave clean chit to his friend Dr. Arun Kumar , ex-DOP vide his report dated 08.06.2011.
This case is regarding illegal recruitment with motivated planned conspiracy of Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO and SA to RM, Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP and Smt. Hina Gokhle, Director, DHRD and Dr. RK Jain, Director, RAC and Dr. DN Reddy, Chairman, RAC.
BRIEF FACTS OF THE COMPLAINT
Shri Avinash Chander, DS was Director, ASL, Hyderabad from August 2005 to May 2011. He was appointed as CCR&D (MSS) in DRDO HQ and was holding position of no. 2 after Dr. V.K. Saraswat, then DGR&D and SA to RM. Shri Avinash Chander took over as DGR&D, DRDO and SA to RM wef 31 May 2013 after superannuation of Dr. V.K. Saraswat.
Smt. Tessy Thomas was working in ASL since its foundation and she was subordinate to Shri Avinash Chander when he was Director, ASL, Hyderabad. Smt Tessy Thomas was promoted to Scientist ‘H’/Outstanding Scientist wef 18 October 2013. She was appointed as Director, ASL, Hyderabad wef 25 July 2014.
As a matter of facts, the competent authority in DRDO for appointment of Directors of Lab/Estt and Directorates at DRDO HQ is Shri Avinash Chander DGR&D, DRDO and SA to RM.
Shri Saroj Kumar Patel, husband of Smt Tessy Thomas, OS (now Director, ASL) was serving in Indian Navy as Commodore and retired from Indian Navy on 31 January 2013. To oblige Smt Tessy Thomas, Shri Avinash Chander, then CCR&D(MSS) misused his position and succeeded in creation of a vacancy of Scientist ‘G’ in DRDO HQ and applications for this vacancy of Scientist ‘G’ were sought vide RAC Advt No. 110/December 2012. (Copy enclosed-III)
The Scientist ‘G’ in DRDO is having pay scale of Rs. 37,400-67,000/- & Grade Pay 10,000/-, which is equivalent to rank of Joint Secretary in Indian Administrative Services. Joint Secretary to the Government of India has pay scale in Pay Band – 4:Rs. 37400- 67000; and Grade Pay Rs. 10000.All promotions and appointments to this Joint Secretary rank and post are directly made by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC).
The requirement of said vacancy of Scientist ‘G’ was tailor made for Shri Saroj Kumar Patel as evident from details of Advt. No. 110/December 2012.

Not Available
This malpractice for recruitment of Shri Saroj Kumar Patel was exposed by some senior Scientist ‘G’ of DRDO by writing complaint to Hon’ble Defence Minister in 2013 and therefore the plan of Shri Avinash Chander failed due to seriously consideration of the matter by Dr. V.K. Saraswat, then DGR&D, DRDO and SA to RM.
Shri Avinash Chander took over as DGR&D, DRDO and SA to RM on 31 May 2013 after superannuation of Dr. V.K. Saraswat. After acquiring full administrative & financial powers in DRDO, Shri Avinash Chander planned the recruitment of Shri Saroj Kumar Patel as Scientist ‘G’ in DRDO and therefore he planned a conspiracy of the illegal & motivated recruitment with help of his subordinates Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP, Smt. Hina Gokhle, Director, DHRD and Dr. DN Reddy, Chairman, RAC and Shri RK Jain, Director, RAC.
Accordingly phase-II of the said conspiracy started by issue of Letter No. DOP/11/110059/QRSM/M/02 dated 14 August 2013 of Directorate of Personnel, DRDO, MOD, New Delhi on the Subject- Appointment of Director, QRS, DRDO HQ, New Delhi. Copy of the letter dated 14 August 2013 along with Proforma for Director, QRS, DRDO HQ, New Delhi is enclosed-IV.
It was clearly mentioned in Para(1) of the letter that “Applications for the post of Director, Quality, Reliability & Safety(QRS) at DRDO HQrs, New Delhi are invited from SC ‘G’ promoted in the year 2013 having sufficient experience in the field of quality, reliability and safety. The Para 1 of letter is arbitrary, discriminatory, unethical and illegal in nature.
No essential qualification, desirable qualification and years of experience were sought and mentioned in said DOP letter for the post of Director, QRS.
Question arises why applications were invited only from the Scientist ‘G’ that were promoted in the year 2013 while in the seniority list of Scientist ‘G’ of DRDO as on 1st November 2013 there were 507 Scientist ‘G’ in total and out of which 114 were promoted in the year 2013 with effect from 01 July 2013? Copy of the seniority list of Scientist ‘G’ is enclosed-V. Why senior Scientist ‘G’ were not eligible for the post of the Director, QRS and under which rule DOP & DHRD decided that only junior most Scientist ‘G’ are eligible for the said post, while in appointments seniority plays an important role and senior most officers always given priority.
Mere reading of the letter dated 14 August 2013 issued from DOP establishes the conspiracy in recruitment. The letter was issued on 14 August 2013 and it was clearly mentioned in para (2) of the letter, reproduced as it is for ready reference “2. The applications should be duly forwarded/recommended by their respective Directors the enclosed profoma (Annexure-I) and must reach this office latest by 21st August 2013”. Hence only 6 days were provided to all Scientist ‘G’ of 52 Lab/Estt situated allover India right from Leh to Kochi and Vizag to Tezpur. The Para-2 is the clear violation of DOPT norms because period should be minimum 15 days.
As a matter of fact 15 August was National holiday, 16th was Friday, 17-18 August (week end holiday), 19-21 August (three working days). Now three questions arises
(i) Why only 04 working days was provided to submit the applications for post of Director, QRS?
(ii) What was the urgency to keep very short time for submitting applications?
(iii) Whether it was possible in any circumstances that ink signed copy of the application duly recommended by respective Director be reach with in two-three days by speed post to New Delhi far from various Lab/Estt. Of DRDO.
Answer to the questions raised in point(14) above is that applications were sought within DRDO simply to make formality and have a record that no Scientist ‘G’ applied for the said post or found eligible for the said post. It is matter of investigation by CVC from records that how many applications were received for post of Director, QRS, whether any list were prepared, whether any interview/interaction were organized, whether any committee scrutinized the proforma of Scientist ‘G’ and whether any Scientist ‘G’ was found suitable for the post of Director, QRS, DRDO Hqrs.
In fact said post were preplanned for Shri Saroj Kumar Patel since the December 2012 therefore any Scientist ‘G’ out of 507 Scientist ‘G’ of DRDO was not selected for the post of Director, QRS, DRDO Hqrs and post remain vacant.
Further to accommodate Shri Saroj Kumar Patel in DRDO an advertisement for post of Scientist ‘G’ were again issued by RAC, DRDO vide Advt. No. 112/October 2013 under direct recruitment scheme of DRDO under direction & guidance of Shri Avinash Chander with vested interest. Copy of the Advt No. 112/October 2013 is enclosed-VI.
Shri Saroj Kumar Patel was recruited as Scientist ‘G’ in DRDO against the 01 vacancy of Scientist ‘G’ vide RAC Advt No. 112/October 2013 and joined DRDO at DRDO HQrs, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi with effect from 27 March 2014 at seniority no. 486 among Scientist ‘G’ of DRDO.
As a matter of fact Shri Saroj Kumar Patel joined DRDO as Scientist ‘G’ on 27 March 2014(Thursday) and appointed as Director, QRS, DRDO HQrs on 31 March 2014(Monday) so he worked only two days 27-28 March 2014 and jumped to post of Director only in service of 04 days. Shri Avinash Chander appointed Shri Patel as Director; QRS ignoring the 485 senior Scientist ‘G’ already available in DRDO and it establish favoritism & nepotism. It can only happened in DRDO.
Now again four question arises
i. Why Shri Patel was appointed as Director, QRS while he was recruited against vacancy of Scientist ‘G’ not for the post of Director, QRS by ignoring 485 senior Scientist ‘G’ in DRDO?
ii. What is the specialization of Shri Patel which is not available with 507 Scientist ‘G’ of DRDO, can the conspirators able to justify?
iii. Why so much favoritism was given to Shri Patel for his recruitment as Scientist ‘G’ and appointment as Director, QRS since October 2012 to March 2014 by Shri Avinash Chander?
iv. What special benefit DRDO get from Sh Patel’s tailor made appointment?
Keeping in view of the facts mentioned above and the subordination of Smt Tessy Thomas with Shri Avinash Chander right from several years in ASL, Hyderabad, it is crystal clear gross violation of recruitment rules, ethics and procedures took place and the same were not followed in recruitment of Shri Patel as Scientist ‘G’ on 27 March 2014 and further his appointment as Director, QRS on 31 March 2014. This smacks planned conspiracy and criminal misconduct by Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO, Dr. A.K. Singh, Director of Personnel, DRDO Hqrs, Smt Hina Gokhle, Director, DHRD, Dr. RK Jain, Director, RAC and Dr. DN Reddy, Chairman, RAC.
Therefore, it is kindly requested that appointment of Shri Saroj Kumar Patel, Scientist ‘G’ should be cancelled with immediate effect and inquiry be conducted under Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 and CCS (CCA) Rules 1965 against the senior officers of DRDO involved in planned conspiracy of recruitment and appointment of Shri Saroj Kumar Patel as Scientist ‘G’ in DRDO and appointment as Director, QRS, DRDO HQrs.

SUBJECT: CORRUPTION IN DMSRDE (DRDO), KANPUR BY DR. ARVIND KUMAR SAXENA, DIRECTOR
Honourable Sir,
DRDO basically turn as den of corruption and manipulations, still not ready to accept that the new era of corruption free governance begin in country.
The root of corruption and the confidence of manipulation and thinking of fooling the politicians in the name of defence secrecy are deeply absorbed in the blood of top old senior scientists who are running the DRDO show.
If some vital information exposed by media or frustrated honest scientists to the government, DRDO first advocate in the name of secrecy or next thing is same old established tactics that make a 1st fact finding committee then 2nd fact finding committee and encash the complaints with temporary duty claims in the name of inquiry and stretch the case up to year or two and people will forgotten the issue/corrupt officer retire from service and corrupt official easily gulp the poor tax payers money.
Sir, will you seriously going to take the corruption prevailing in DRDO which is very important because our defence preparedness is lying on the shoulder of DRDO, if it is not strong enough then what will the fate of country.
As in 5th September 2014 in your interaction to our lovely school students gave clear message that up to 2024 you are ready to give blessing and service to our country. It is very important that you have to operate the inside spread cancer (corruption / nepotism / favoritism) of DRDO.
I would like to inform you that I have continuously submitting lot of complaints in various agencies like CVC, IB and CBI since last 15 years and simultaneously exposing via www.corruptionindrdo.com since 4 years.
Recently, I have submitted 12 complaints on corruption against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur to CVC, New Delhi. The complaints are tip of the iceberg and proper investigation can reveal hundreds of crores corruption which was executed by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena via various means.
DRDO’s expert manipulators made first fact finding committee spend few time and then made second fact finding committee and now they are killing the time in Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena’s corruption cases.
Then after few years CAG will submit a report in front of honourable parliament like CAG Report CA No 30 of 2013 (Defence Services) Chapter V, DRDO
Para 5.1 – Extra avoidable expenditure by ANURAG – Violation of the prescribed procurement procedure and allow M/S ITI to execute the job through outsourcing at higher price resulted extra expenditure of Rs 2.12 Crores by ANURAG.
Para 5.2 Unwarranted procurement of CATIA V6 Software costing Rs 11.05 Crores and lying unused since 2011 – ANURAG
Para 5.3 DRDO procured components for NAG Missile at a cost Rs 52.58 Crores in anticipation of an order from Army, which resulted in blocking of Government money of Rs 34.70 Crores.
The man behind the ANURAG procurement manipulation enjoying extension, he is one of the Gem of DRDO scientist and expert such procurement business since his induction in DRDO as direct Scientist D.
Above CAG reports are very tiny part of DRDO corruption the actual corruption is in the tune of thousands of crores every year, dumping equipments, construction buildings in the name of infra structure development without needs and lot of things.
Hope we will witness some great steps as the whole country believes in your working and fast decisions mechanism.
Sir hope you will segregate the real Rishis who are in clutches of few Rakshas.
DRDO Hqrs made it a mockery and laughing object. DRDO has violated SRO from beginning of CEPTAM and there are several cases pending in CAT/High courts all across the India.
The recent recruitment drive tells a different story.
CEPTAM – 06 Advertisement Published in Employment News dated 04-10th May, 2013.
No of post advertised in various categories – 844
Approximately 5 lakhs application received (excluding hundreds of applications misplaced)
Approximately 1 lakh applications were rejected for silly reasons (example followed)
Approximately 2 lakhs candidates not able to appear for examination held on 25th August 2013
Approximately 3 lakhs candidates deprived by Sh Rajesh Goyal, Director, CEPTAM
It is very big question, how DRDO can give permission to Sh Rajesh Goyal, Director, CEPTAM to play with fundamental right of young citizen of India.
Please go through the following facts which clearly shows Sh Rajesh Goyal’s, Director, CEPTAM personal vested interest
The SMS game – All interested candidates who wish to apply for DRDO Entry Test, are compulsorily required to register themselves on mobile no. 56677 of CEPTAM by sending a SMS in this format CEPTAM First choice of Exam City Code Post Code Date of Birth as ddmmyy NAME (Leaving a space between first, middle and last name) Example: CEPTAM 15 0112 231283 Rupesh Kumar Goyal (Name of Director’s son, it is example of pure chamchagiri environment of CEPTAM). Why this SMS system introduced by Sh Rajesh Goyal, Director, CEPTAM
Approximately 5 Lakhs application received and each applicant paid Rs 3 for each SMS registration.
Total MONEY received by CEPTAM 15 Lakhs
The contract was cooked with M/s MILLENNIUM SYSTEMS a computer peripheral supplier and well connected with Sh Rajesh Goyal since he was in ISSA. Anyone can verify these things with back record of firms supply orders vs with Sh Rajesh Goyal’s involvements. The M/s MILLENNIUM SYSTEMS website http://milsys.co.in is shown the order of client list. If 5 lakhs applicants registered the MONEY was huge 15 Lakhs and in open MARKET bulk SMS service providers 6 to 7 paisa /SMS so any one can work out the play in this contract. The CEPTAM did not give this contract through DAVP shows the corruption angle.
No approval from competent authority to induct compulsory Mobile registration.
No tender floated by CEPTAM for bulk SMS service providing

The CVO MOD in reply of RTI revealed some facts and corrective steps suggested by MOD
Sh Rajesh Goyal was the chela of Dr A K Singh and following letter revealed the lenient view taken by DRDO the main point of corruption nexus with M/s MILLENNIUM SYSTEMS is not even mentioned. Now after Sh Rajesh Goyal retirement suddenly M/s MILLENNIUM SYSTEMS vanished from CEPTAM procurement scenario. Modi ji is true that every organisation respective heads starts to run their parallel system defying all government laid downs rules. In DRDO you will find this culture in every lab the companies rises with new Director and vanished with his retirement and best part of this these beloved companies act like a Wall Mart from needle to missile parts are readily available with these new born companies.
Any candidate who deprived from this SMS or wrong address act can asked relief from court. Court certainly give fair chance to special written test for DRDO recruitment.

Chairman 2nd Fact finding Committee constituted for DMSRDE corruption
LRDE, DRDO, Bangalore
Subject – Intent for corruption & criminal misconduct u/s 13(1)(d)of PC Act 1988 by Director, DMSRDE
Reference – Complaint to CVC – DMSRDE FUME HOOD PROCUREMENT CASE dated 22 January 2014 on the subject “Corruption in procurement of Fume Hoods in DMSRDE Kanpur officers involved in procurement”.
Sir,
For your kind attention on the complaint under reference on the subject cited above. In this procurement case Scientists of DMSRDE, DRDO were involved.
DGR&D, DRDO is trying to protect the corrupt Scientists of DMSRDE who involved in Corruption by means of illegal FFIC. In this series he constituted two FFIC which made investigation on 13-14 March 2014 and 9-10 July 2014. First FFIC gave clean chit to Dr. AK Saxena and beyond their constitutional rights recommended two scientists transfers as penalty. This is the example case in government department where fact finding committee chairman acts as judge or DRDO Hqrs’s top management used him for unconstitutional act. This brilliant idea was came from the Dr. W Selvamurty’s great चेला ( who is running DRDO administration because everyone knows that our DRDO, DG is always busy with cooking, out of the way promotion and directorships for his ………….., so he leaves all the conspiracy acts to his administrative man like his predecessor did. Beside the whole organization witnessed the exemplary result of Dr. Arun Kumar, the predecessor’s Great चेला.
It is not new for DRDO, DRDO never take lessons from the failure of projects, that’s why Hon’ PM said on 19th August 2014 to DRDO’s so called ऋषि leave the “चलताहै ” attitude.
The report of second FFIC is still awaited, GOD knows what will Pande ji do, it is very interesting to see his report outcome and maybe you are waiting for DS list.
Bye they way please go through some astonishing facts of only one case as a example which establish how tampering of evidences and fabrication of documents took place in DMSRDE.
Under the various guidelines of CVC, Hon’ble Supreme Court & High Court Judgments, the intent/intention for criminal misconduct is sufficient ground for section 13(1)(d) of PC Act 1988.
The DMSRDE scientists are involved in Criminal Misconduct under section 13(1)(d) of PC Act 1988 which is established by following facts.
Supply Order of Rs. 45,76,005.00 was issued to KAN-THT (INDIA) Pvt. Ltd., Delhi vide SO No. 14AT0089 dated 19 November 2013.(Copy Enclosed)
Original Delivery Period (ODP) was 28 Feb 2014.
Complaint was made to CVC on 22 January 2014.
Supply Order was cancelled by Director, DMSRDE under planned conspiracy between Director, DMSRDE and KAN-THT India, Delhi.
Commercial Invoice No. BIOBASE20140123IN dated 22 and 23 January 2014 was issued from JINAN BIOBASE BIOTECH CO. LTD., CHINA to KAN-THT in the name of DMSRDE, Kanpur, I don’t think corrupt official of DMSRDE even know about this. (Copy of the Invoice is enclosed.
From Invoice of Biobase, China it is quite evident that KAN-THTwas mediator in whole procurement deal and SO was issued to KAN-THT not to Biobase, China. Since SO was issued to KAN-THT India, Delhi then how Biobase, China issued Commercial Invoice of the Fume Hoods on name of DMSRDE, Kanpur.
The price of 14 No. of Fume Hood 1200C as per invoice dated 22 and 23 January 2014 is total $ 35000.00 as per conversion rate of one $ = 62 Rs. 2170000.00 (Rupees Twenty one Lakh Seventy thousand only)
The cost of supply order for 14 No. of Fume Hood 1200C as per SO dated 19 November 2013 in INR is Rs. 45,76,005.00(Rupees Forty five lakh seventy six thousand and five only).
Therefore the difference in prices of Supply Order and Invoice is Rs. 24,06,005.00 (Rs. 4576005.00 – Rs. 2170000.00). The difference of amount of Rs. 24,06,005.00 was not justify, if you plus other expenses like transport/installation/profits etc not come more than 30 to 40% the nexus between, DMSRDE officials and KAN-THT India, Delhi can clearly establish.
The supply order was cancelled under exposure of deal & pressure of my complaint to CVC on subject matter. Cancellation of supply order itself shows that there was no need of Fume Hoods in DMSRDE and procurement was initiated just to get fatty commission by corrupt officials of DMSRDE. Therefore total amount of Rs. 4576005.00 of public money was going in wastage and major part of this, more than 50% was going in pocket of DMSRDE corrupt officer
Mere cancelation of Supply Order cannot dilute their crime under section 13(1)(d) PC Act 1988 and their involvement in criminal misconduct. It is very clear that Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE was having intent for corruption of Rs. 26,14,815.00 and involved in criminal conspiracy and criminal misconduct along with Mr. Ajitendra Singh Parihar, Scientist ‘D’(The Indenter). Mr. Shielendra Kumar, Scientist ‘F’ (Head Estate & Work Division and MMG) and Mr. Ajay Chandel, Head of KAN-THT India, Delhi.
Till date no action has been initiated by Sri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE despite he is fully aware of the real facts and truth of the case.
The crux of above case is how DRDO purchase manual manipulated in this case
As per invoice of Biobase, China the billing address is DMSRDE and shipping address is also DMSRDE, it means Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE very well knows that if they ask CDC from CC R&D, DRDO who is suppose to issue CDC in the case of domestic suppliers will ask the copy of purchase order placed by domestic supplier to foreign supplier as well as the copy of invoice issued by foreign supplier to domestic suppliers and it is clear mandate that the more than 30% of the invoice cost are not allowed.
If the billing and shipping is direct to DMSRDE or any establishment than Director is suppose to issue CDC.
In this case as per Biobase, China invoice custom can made party for damrage charges to DMSRDE and DRDO lose its credentials.
This the mechanism to fooling the CDA and Government of India after making so many rules and precautions DRDO officials busy in research to fix the poor tax payers money.
In light of aforesaid facts, I kindly request you to submit your true findings& recommendations in FFIC report and leave the DS promotion list to almighty GOD’s disposalas these corrupt top DRDO officials could not write your faith.
Although as per DOPT Guidelines for FFI, you should call me for personal hearing but you make that technical lapse, still I again like to inform you that there are several trump cards that has not been revealed till so far as your FFIC did not gave personal hearing to me.
Besides this I would also remind you very humbly that like your Bigboss Sri Avinash Chander, you will not submit false report to protect Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur as Sri Avinash Chander submitted false report to protect his friend Dr. Arun Kumar. That everybody knows the effort of Bigboss was failed and Dr. Arun Kumar was treated properly by Hon’ble Defence Minister Sri AK Antony.
Hope you will listen your heart’s voice “अब कितने दिन बाकि है वैसे भी लगता है मोदी जी ने एक्सटेंशन बंद करने का मन बना लिया 19 अगस्त को जैसा की उन्होंने कहा की मुझे 5 लैब्स ऐसी चाहिए कि जिसमे 35 वर्ष से ऊपर कोई नहीं हो” समझने वालो के लिए इशारा ही काफी होता।
Andhera Door Hoga,Suraj Niklega – Achhe Din Aayyenge-DMSRDE will be free of Corrupt Director
Dear friends,
Fight against corruption nepotism favouritism and clean the DRDO is the main goal of www.corruptionindrdo.com website and this mission website exposed the DMSRDE’s corruption and corrupt practices of Director Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. Several RTIs were filed to collect information & disclose the cases of corruption. An atmosphere against corruption was developed in DMSRDE and people came on front.
People of Kanpur along with DMSRDE’s officials witnessed the frustrations of Director Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena via print media where he tried to his best to destroy the reputation with his absurd words like the website involved in anti national activities and DRDO information is leaking to US and intelligence agencies after website and DRDO is not able to close the website because the hosting is from US blab la.
My friend Saxena lost his mind like Dr Arun Kumar did after the exposer, he filed FIR what happened everyone knows in DRDO, so my friends as Lord Krishana said it is matter of number 95,96,97,98 99 …. wait don’t lost the hope, culprit will get his due.
