Hello,

Kindly provide me with the following information requested under the purview of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005 in respect of IR’s para-wise reply to Article titled “New Toilets In Indian Trains No Better than Septic Tanks: IIT Study” published in India Spend dated 23rd November, 2017. At para number 11 of the rejoinder, in reply it has been stated that instead bacteria from low temperature areas in India were acclimatized to low temperature and the bacterial species which had compromised activity at low temperature were supplemented (bioaugmentation) with selected group of bacteria isolated from lake sediment samples brought from Antarctica.

  1. Copy of patent If any applied for acclimatization process developed by DRDO, submitted to you by DRDO or  any other related documents,  which supported your statement  in reply of para 11.
  2. Kindly provide me a certified copy of safety certifications obtained from environmental agencies and bio safety agencies if you made them acclimatized through gene manipulation or any genetic engineering methods before releasing such bacteria into environment.

IR’s para-wise reply to Article titled “New Toilets In Indian Trains No Better than Septic Tanks: IIT Study” published in India Spend dated 23rd November, 2017

11. Lokendra Singh, former director of the DRDE, had, after an expedition to Antarctica, brought home psychrophilic bacteria that can survive in extremely low temperatures. The bacteria were mixed with cowdung and normal soil, which have methogens (micro-organisms that produce methane) capable of breaking down human excreta. This was then supplied to the manufacturers of rail bio-digesters. 11.  It is not true that all the bacteria involved in biodegradation process were brought from Antarctica. Instead bacteria from low temperature areas in India were acclimatized to low temperature and the bacterial species which had compromised activity at low temperature were supplemented (bioaugmentation) with selected group of bacteria isolated from lake sediment samples brought from Antarctica.

The basic microbiological and biochemical steps involved in bio-digester, gobar gas plant and septic tank are similar except that septic tank does not have methanogens instead lower fatty acids get converted into H2S gas by employing sulphate reducing bacteria. Another difference is that inoculum is not added to the septic tank whereas bio-digester is seeded initially with a known anaerobic microbial consortium. The major difference in bacterial composition used in bio-digester and other technologies is that bacteria are more efficient and work in wider temperature range including low temperature (cold active bacteria and not psychrophiles as reported in the news)

Subject:  Alarming Situation in DRDO for HR Management

Reference: DOPT letter No.14029/1/2014-Estt.(L) dated 3rd September 2014.

Dear Sir,

               With reference to above subject and in the interest of larger public interest, the case study with evidences gathered by RTI replies from DRDO was submitted to then Defence Minister which subsequently endorsed to your department by then Defence Minister.

Surprisingly, today I have received above referred letter from your under secretary Sh S G Mulchandaney, in which he attracts my attention to DOPT OM No.11013/08/2013-Estt.(A)-III. (Copy enclosed for your ready reference)

It seems that your officials sitting there dealing such serious matter/ information blindly they even not bothered that it was duly endorsed by honorable minister. Can DOPT tell me that information submitted by me is related by any means with the DOPT OM No.11013/08/2013-Estt. (A)-III dated 6th June 2013.

It is requested that please take appropriate action to theses irresponsible officials who are trying to discourage honest approach for clean governance.

Honorable Madam,

Please accept our heartiest congratulation for assuming charge of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, it a great responsibility and challenge for you to maintain the falling standard of our higher education. Hope you will take it to the highest standard.

Please find enclosed letter in which I have submitted a complaint to Prof. Dinesh Singh, Vice-Chancellor Delhi University on 7th December 2013 by Speed Post regarding “Fake Experience Certificate issued from Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Centre for Biomedical Research North Campus, Delhi University” with evidences.

On 26th Feb 2014 an RTI request was filled to The Deputy Registrar (Information & CPIO) Delhi University, to know about the action taken by Vice-Chancellor Delhi University, surprising I have received a reply that office of Vice-Chancellor Delhi University not received my letter.

Now I am again enclosing this letter for your good office with expectation that as our Prime Minister is committed to eradicate corruption, in same line you will also take this high profile corruption,  this type of corruption  depriving  the genuine honest talents for getting their due credentials.   Ms S Geetha, daughter of ex Chief Controller, DRDO Dr W Selvamurthy submitted an experience certificate issued from Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Centre for Biomedical Research North Campus, Delhi University, for the post of Scientist ‘C’ in DRDO. The signature on certificate is of PROF. VANI BRAHMACHARI.    Photocopy of RTI reply from Registrar, Delhi University in respect of said experience certificate that PROF. VANI BRAHMACHARI denied having ever worked with anyone named Ms S Geetha.

It is requested to give appropriate directive to Prof. Dinesh Singh, Vice-Chancellor Delhi University to investigate the case and fix the culprits.

Sir,

It is observed that Ms S Geetha, submitted an experience certificate issued from Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Centre for Biomedical Research North Campus, Delhi University, for the post of Scientist ‘C’ in DRDO. The signature on certificate is of PROF. VANI BRAHMACHARI.

Photocopy of experience certificate is enclosed herewith for your ready reference, which has been obtained from recruitment assessment center, DRDO by RTI request.

Photocopy of Ms S Geetha’s application is also enclosed herewith for your ready reference in which she mentioned that she worked as research assistant for 38 days in Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Centre for Biomedical Research North Campus, Delhi University and received amount @ Rs 5000/month.

It is requested that please set an enquiry as per University Rules and regulation to find out the truth and punish the culprits so that this scientific & technocrat mafia who are working to oblige each other and thereby  fooling the countrymen, stop their corrupt practices.  The deserving and bright candidates consequently loose the opportunity to serve the nation.

Recently on 29thOctober 2013 Defence Minister recommended CBI inquiry against top DRDO officials and Dr W Selvamurthy is one of them. The recommended CBI inquiry is for investigating the corrupt practices prevailing in RAC (Recruitment & Assessment Center) of DRDO. Ms S Geetha was also recruited direct as scientist ‘C’ with criminal conspiracy.
