No extensions sans ACC okay: Government to DRDO

5 Comments

By Aman Sharma, ET Bureau | 27 Sep, 2014,

NEW DELHI: In a message to the Defence Research Development Organisation that has over a dozen scientists working on tenures beyond 60, the government has frowned at the tendency of giving extensions to scientists without consulting the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is said to be unhappy with DRDO’s functioning and had recently advocated that five out of the 52 DRDO labs be manned by young scientists after reports with the government revealed that as many as 358 scientists had quit DRDO between 2009 and 2013.

A government note sent on Friday to nine ministries and departments which have specialists in scientific or medical fields, including DRDO and Department of Space, the Department of Personnel and Training has said that the ACC headed by the prime minister has observed that in some cases, departments have unilaterally extended the service officers beyond the age of superannuation without obtaining the approval of ACC.

“It is reiterated that in absence of specific approval of ACC towards extension of services beyond the date of superannuation, an officer should stand retired on his date of superannuation and under no circumstances should the Ministry/Department extend his services beyond superannuation unilaterally without approval of ACC,” the note says. This also comes on the heels of the success of the Mars Orbiter Mission where Modi had praised scientists at ISRO for the feat.

In Friday’s note, the policy drawn up by the NDA government in 2002 was pointed to, which said that any tenure extensions to scientists should be “only in really exceptional circumstances” and only if the retiring specialist “is not just one of the outstanding officers but is really head and shoulders above the rest”.

That policy also said that too many cases of extensions are likely to cause “frustration and affect morale of upcoming scientists who have exposure to latest technological developments.” In 2012, DRDO admitted that 37 scientists — 12 of whom were in distinguished category — were on extended tenures. This was despite the Rama Rao Committee, which carried out the first external review of DRDO in 2008, calling for a younger profile of top scientists. DRDO secretary Avinash Chander is also working on an extension.

ET had reported on August 23 that Modi was not happy about this situation and had sought all details after he was told about the high attrition rate among younger scientists. Friday’s note also goes out to the departments of Atomic Energy, Science and Technology, Scientific and Industrial Research, Information Technology and Environment Ministry.extension dopt

How Fast DOP Works in DRDO for his Beloveds

Leave a comment

8th August 2011

Dear Dr Saraswat Ji Good Morning                      

How your DOP works please go through the following case of Sh Dharmendra Kumar Scientist ‘B’ SPIC, DRDO. The case Sh Dharmendra Kumar Scientist ‘B’ SPIC shows how DRDO top brass handles the case of their beloveds. The whole process done by DOP in such a manner that even lay man can smell of DOP’s rotten empire.

  1. DRDO issued 2 appointment letter to Sh Dharmendra Kumar
  2. DOP bypassed the CC and direct got your approval.
  3. Sh Dharmendra Kumar sent a letter from Pune on 3rd Feb 2011 to you from NDA, Khadakwasla letter no NDA/DK/Pers/DRDO/10-11 dated 03 Feb 2010 and on 14th Feb 2011 the whole case is processed by your most efficient DOP and his staff and a letter was dispatched by  Sh B B Sharma, Joint Director(Pers-TC) letter no DOP/01/00025/Misc/NG/01.

Sir can you tell the poor DRDO staffs that what channel is best to send grievances which are the more serious matters than Sh Dharmendra Kumar’s case or tell us Sh Dharmendra Kumar’s hot line with you.

I request all the applicant or petitioner who wants to settle their grievances from SA to route their application through Sh Dharmendra Kumar, Scientist ‘B’, SPIC, DRDO, New Delhi. His Mobile No/ land line No and home address you will get soon on website in interest of DRDO officials.

  1. Sh Dharmendra Kumar sent a letter from Pune on 17th March 2011 to DOP for request to extend his joining time and on 18th March 2011 DOP granted extension. DRDO only work in this speed at time of last week of every March for procurement cases.
  2. Sh Dharmendra Kumar was not in the strength of DRDO when 1st appointment letter was issued in his name i.e. 23rd Dec 2010 as he was already joined NDA on 22nd Dec 2011, then how come LDCE appointment offered him.
  3.  PMO is looking forward for name of Sh Dharmendra Kumar’s  in next DRDO award list as young scientist award, because Dr Vasudeva will definitely going to include his name for his great contributions to manipulating the fake procurement case with Sh Suchit  and Sh.Jitender Chug as you already aware that Director Vigilance, Ministry of Defence asked all expenditure done by SPIC up to 31st July 2011.

Hope you will take this case seriously in the interest of the organization and for building faith of DRDO officials.

Thanking you

Honorable Sir,

I wish to bring to your notice another case of irregularities being committed by Dr. Arun Kumar, DOP, DRDO Hqrs. in the matter of recruitment of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ ( A Group ‘A’ Gazetted Post in DRDO)

  1. Sh. Dharmender Kumar was the Senior Technical Assistant -‘B’ (Non Gazetted Post) in SPIC, DRDO, Delhi. On his selection for appointment to the post of Assistant Professor( Mathemetics) in NDA, Khadakwasla, Pune, he resigned from the post of Senior Technical Assistant -‘B’ , which was accepted by the competent authority and he was relived on 20th December 2010 from   SPIC, DRDO, Delhi. He joined the post of Assistant Professor (Mathematics) in NDA, Khadakwasla, Pune on 22nd December 2010.
  2. Sh. Dharmender Kumar on his selection for appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO through Limited Departmental Competitive Examination for the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO vide DOP, DRDO letter No DOP/05/56002/LDCE 09-20 dated 23th December 2010.
  3. As per clause 2 (h) of terms & condition of offer of appointment letter, Sh. Dharmender Kumar was required to assume the appointment of Scientist ‘B’ within one month from the date of issue of above referred offer letter (23rd December 2010),failing which the offer of appointment will be cancelled( as mentioned in the)
  4. Further, as per terms & condition of offer of appointment issued to the Sh. Dharmender Kumar on 23rd December 2010 i.e. after 3 days of his being SOS from DRDO, and 1 day after joining the NDA, Pune, he was required to undergo a medical test by the prescribed medical board and required essentially to undergo a training course of Scientist ’B’ at DIAT, Pune. Further as per Directorate of Human Resources, DRDO letter No DHRD/17050/DIAT/POINTS16/C/M/1 dated 31st March 2011 that 20 weeks duration mandatory  training course for Scientist ’B’ has been scheduled w.e.f 20th April 2010.
  5. Sh. Dharmender Kumar should had not been issued with the letter of offer of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO on 23rd December 2010, when he  at own resigned and SOS from DRDO on 20th December 2010 and joined NDA, Pune on 22nd December 2010. The post of Scientist ‘B’ against which he was selected was meant out for the departmental candidate of DRDO as such, when he was not entitled to be given the offer of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO
  6. When the last date(22nd January 2011) bu assumption of charge of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO and joining the mandatory training course in DIAT, Pune by 20th April 2011 has already expired, his request for joining the post of Scientist ‘B’, DRDO should not have been entertained.
  7. Sh. Dharmender Kumar vide his letter dated 3rd February 2011 written directly to Scientific Adviser to RM (and not through proper channel of his office NDA, Pune) requested to extend the period of joining in DRDO as Scientist ‘B’ for a period of 2 months. The extended period of joining time expired on 22nd February 2011.
  8. As per the terms & condition of offer of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO as well as under the provision of DRDS Rules 1979 and amendments made thereof, the offer of appointment was required to be cancelled when he has failed to adhere to the terms & condition, a offer of appointment.
  9. From the contents of letter dated 3rd February 2011 of Sh. Dharmender Kumar it is  under that he was bypassed the official channel by writing directly to Scientific Adviser to RM, when he has holding the post of Assistant Professor (Mathematics) in NDA, where he was supposed to taught lesson overall discipline, including with regards to correspondence, command & control. He has left DRDO and NDA not for the sake of nation, but consideration (refer to para of his letter 3rd February 2011) both the offer being equally lucrative, more ever; the growth prospect and financial incentive were higher in the said venture. He has send the copy of his letter directly to the DOP, DRDO and not to his earlier controlling authority i.e. SPIC, DRDO

It is highly regretted to say that instead of taking any action against him for the acts of subordination, which are subversive of discipline, and cancelling the offer of appointment to the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO, he has been allowed to join the post of Senior Technical Assistant -‘B’ in SPIC, DRDO on 2nd May 2011 and the very next day i.e. 3rd May 2011 itself the DOP processed his case vigorous  speed to evaluate him to join the post of Scientist ‘B’ in DRDO, thus violating the provision of:

a)     Terms & Condition of the offer of appointment letter to the post of Scientist ‘B’

b)     DRDS Rules 1979

c)      Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rule 1964

d)     DHRD,DRDO Letter No DHRD/17050/DIAT/POINTS16/C/M/1 dated 31st March 2011

I would like to request you to kindly consider the above facts and ask the Defence Secretary to conduct a thorough inquiry into cases of misuse, abuse and unauthorized use of office and position of DOP,DRDO by Dr Arun Kumar, Scientist ’H’ Outstanding Scientist,  DRDO Scientist of the Year Award in the year 2008. So that rule of law is allowed to prevail in the organization in a transparent manner.

We all look forward to your statements “Nurture talent, ensure fairness” “fairness at all levels”, but Sir, DRDO’s honest employees are eagerly waiting for implementing your statements, I ensure on behalf of all DRDO’s honest employees if the day this is implemented, the whole nation will see the great output of DRDO.

Thanking you
