Hurting DRDO’s autonomy

Leave a comment

R SUNDARAM The Hindu Business Line

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is in the news. First, the good news. It successfully test-fired nuclear-capable Agni III long range missile with a strike range of 3,000 km from the Wheeler Islands off the coast of Odisha, recently. This is a major achievement both for the DRDO and the country’s defence capability.

Now, for the bad news. DRDO’s financial and administrative powers have been whittled down or taken away. This is a blow for science and technology efforts in India.

SUDDEN ABOUT-TURN

Only two years ago, in 2010 to be precise, the delegation of powers to the DRDO was considerably liberalised. It seemed as though the government was, for once, serious about freeing scientific establishment from the proverbial red tape.

It allowed DRDO the discretion to spend up to Rs 50 crore with the concurrence of its financial advisor. It appears that a recent action of the DRDO, of approving a design and development project of Rs 49.82 crore for optical sensors to be used in unmanned aerial vehicles and airborne platforms without involving the Ministry, irked the authorities. So, the MOD has “clipped the wings” of the DRDO by re-imposing old controls.

This is a retrograde step engineered by the combined heavy hands of the entrenched babus in administration and accounts, blessed by an unenlightened and short-sighted political leadership. This flies in the face of various pronouncements of the Prime Minister during his various addresses to the scientific community.

In February 2012, Manmohan Singh in an interview to the Science magazine stated that “we need to do much more to change the face of science in India”.

I do not know if this is the change he wanted — imposing more rigorous accounting controls and stifling administrative procedures, so that DRDO becomes yet another run-of-the-mill government organisation.

Recently, the Prime Minister wanted Indian scientists “to seek newer frontiers of research, match capabilities of peers around the world and help India leapfrog”, even as one of his Cabinet ministers was busy belittling the scientific community under his watch.

COMPETENT AUTHORITY

From whatever can be gleaned from news reports, it appears that the recent decisions are based on a special audit conducted by the Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA) as ordered by the Minister. It is not clear as to how the CGDA can be considered competent to evaluate R&D activities. There are any number of forums to evaluate programmes and priorities, including peer group assessments, the Standing Committees and Consultative Committees of Parliament on defence.

Only a few years ago, we had the Rama Rao committee going into aspects of revamping defence research and development. So far, no one knows what the recommendations are, and how far these have been implemented.

Time and again, the government, particularly the MOD, tends to shoot itself in the foot by demoralising and insulting both military and civilian organisations under its fold.

Patriotism of a Technocrat

Leave a comment

To                                                                                                                   18th August 2011
The Defence Minister
Room No -104, South Block
New Delhi – 110011

Reference: a)  Your letter No 1409-VIP/RM/2011 dated 21st March 2011

                       b)  Your letter No 1409-VIP/RM/2236 dated 20th May 2011

Honorable Sir,                                                                                                                                The mood of country man from village to industry, to Government agency has taken in    one line- fight against corruption.

The patriotism has come out and the nuisance mongers are still denying the facts. They have no courage to face the real scenario. In DRDO a practice has been followed for a quite some time that DRDO must have a big programs without the feasibility study and without the realizing the strength and weakness. A 100 crores was sanctioned to DEAL, Dehradun to develop Software Defined Radio (SDR), but the truth behind the green room is the laboratory has not developed a single frequency radio on its own and when they are talking to develop SDR it appears a big crime.

The knowledgeable team with in the country who has knowledge about radio they have not contacted prior to conceive the proposal of “SDR”. One such reaction of a patriot and technocrat is enclosed.

This reaction is result of the open tender floated by DEAL, Dehradun’ SDR’s team. Tender: DEAL/206/4043/2011-2012/D100/074 Dated: 09, Aug 2011, Opening Date: 27, Sep 2011 tender for Development of SCA Core Framework.

The expert feels that specification have been laid down by a person who does not know a bit of radio.

The file has initiated with the estimated cost of Rs 6 Crores with a delivery period as mentioned in tender is not later than 82 weeks from the date of signing of contract. It is interesting to note that the PDC of SDR project is July 2013 and this assignment of  Development of SCA Core Framework definitely going to cross the PDC limit of the SDR.

The sources said that the estimated cost is exorbitantly high and Malafide intension and misappropriation of government money is clearly visible. The tender directly or indirectly will go to hand of   M/s Spectrum Signal Processing BC Canada

This is for the information of ugly act of Sh R C Aggarwal, Director, (extension) DEAL, Dehradun.

Note – This 100 Crores project encourage him to increase GPF subscription upto 1.25 Lakh per month, hope this input will compel you to think twice for DRDO corrupt bosses.   

Thanking you

Enclose – E-mail of a Technocrat regarding SDR Project

Dear sir,                                                                                                                                                I have gone to yr site. It is really interesting to see how these govt departments are working for the benefit of our beloved country. See  I have enclosed one tender fr one of labs of drdo . I hav had a bitter experience with them in the past. They do not know anything but pretend that they r all experts. This tender documents clearly shows that they r not only trying to get a partner for developing their project and that too at their own interest. They do not know a bit about radios forget software radios. How goverment has sanctioned them this project when there under-statement in the tender clearly shows that they hardly know the software architecture of the their would-be-radio.yet They r all set to review the work of tenderer. They will try to get it done for themselves and yet not share the IPR and Copyrights. Finally they will get it procured from somewhere and put their stickers on it and claim that it is theirs.  I have come to know from our principals in US they (MOD) have already STUCK A DEAL with a Company for supply of items for three service and the project is only to fill the gaps. The persons in DEAL have hardly any experience in writing codes and data how they r going to evaluate from others. Perhaps they will get to learn a lot from the DP. Sir pl give this tender wider publicity because it is only a farce. They get all the information from you and will abort the contract later on. Beware all tenderers! they r all fraud and corrupt people.

Keep doing good work sir,

Warm regards

Dear Friends                                                                             18th July 2011

SA’s crises management, after mounting pressure from MoD to take corrective measures to stop the corruption and nepotism.

SA to RM taking some eyewash actions like

  1. Today Dr. Satish Kumar taking charge as Director SPIC instead of Director GTRE (earlier SA wants Dr. Satish Kumar in place of Mr T Mohana Rao) Dr. Satish Kumar is old loyal buddy of Dr Saraswat since IGDMP.
  2. Dr Saraswat patched with Mr S K Jindal and agreed not make Group Captain Raja Babu and he and his lobby pressurizing Mr S K Jindal to take legal action against www.corruptionindrdo.com. (The Pandora Box of DRDO’s corruption)
