DRDO passes its expertise to NTRO – I

Leave a comment

All the stalwarts of DRDO who were master of manipulating government funds, misinterpretation of government rules having expertise in inculcating a negative attitude towards self reliance and always planning commission and omission through bulk purchases were shifted to NTRO an agency established by the government after KARGIL debacle. The modus operandi of DRDO & NTRO experts/bosses are twin in appearance, if CBI enquires in depth the enquiry will reveal that the entire procurement/ recruitment system are identical.

Under veil of secrecy, elint outfit gobbles funds

Chandan Nandy, Bangalore, Mar 20, 2012, DHNS:

Less spying and more misuse of resources in elite security set-up

Eight years after its creation, the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), which was established on the lines of Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and America’s National Security Agency (NSA), is in a mess. 

 Far from performing the responsibilities it was entrusted with after it was found that the country’s security establishment lacked effective technical/communications intelligence capabilities, the NTRO is battling serious allegations of corruption.And the lid has been blown off from within: a former NTRO scientist, V K Mittal, has been able to fight his way through the webs of secrecy and official pressure and intimidation to force the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to institute a special audit which the Supreme Court is now seized of.According to one estimate, misappropriation of funds in the NTRO is to the tune of Rs 800 crore, which was alloted Rs 9,832 crore in the 2011-12 financial year. The organisation spends approximately 62 per cent of the money on purchase of equipment and maintains a secret service fund of about Rs 36 crore. Most of the procurements were through single tenders.According to a February 29, 2012 CAG reply to Mittal’s RTI application, the audit body “noticed lack of transparency and non-compliance of rules and procedures in procurement of systems/stores/equipment and deficient procurement management, resulting in cases of excess payment/wasteful expenditure/loss to the exchequer.”Investigations by Deccan Herald revealed that despite objections from the chief of communications intelligence, senior NTRO officers procured satellite communication terminals worth Rs 18 crore in early 2009 from a blacklisted company, Singapore Technology.

The previous year (May 2008), Mittal, as head of NTRO’s Centre for Communications Applications (CCA) wrote to the then NTRO chairman K V S S Prasad Rao claiming that the use of satellite communication (SATCOM) equipment on board unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) was “never a part of the original request for proposal (RFP) or tender” and “hence no technical evaluation was carried out” at any stage by his division.

Although the SATCOM equipment were to be procured from two Israeli companies, Israeli Aerospace Industry (IAI) and ELTA, visits by CCA officers to these firms in Israel yielded little. “In all meetings (at least four times in Tel Aviv) CCA has been requesting IAA/ELTA to give details of the antenna and other systems associated with SATCOM onboard the UAV. Despite our concerted efforts and repeated demands, IAI/ELTA have refused to part with necessary information,” documents in possession of Deccan Herald say.

Alarmingly, the trials of the SATCOM for UAVs, instead of being carried out in India were undertaken in Australia despite strong objections on the ground that the tests should be carried out in Indian conditions. “The offer of trials outside India was firmly turned down by CCA due to various technical reasons in July-August 2007. Hence the rationale for trials oustide India, despite our strong opposition is not clear to us,” the document of May 9, 2008 says.

The main reason why trials (which were to be witnessed by representatives of the Army, Air Force and the Navy) in Australia were not considered feasible was the IAI/ELTA had provided incomplete information about the antenna proposed for SATCOM onboard UAVs. Besides, it was found that the antenna was “suboptimal” and “did not meet the requisite standard of radiation”, and that power amplifiers required modifications “to be able to meet digital modulation requirements.”

Documents in Deccan Herald’s possession suggest that the Israeli companies failed to demonstrate any SATCOM specialisation for the equipments, including electronic intelligence payload for the UAVs, a project that cost Rs 40 crore.

It was after Mittal was served a memo by the then NTRO adviser (in the rank of additional secretary) M S Vijayaraghavan for objecting to the SATCOM equipment deal that he quit the NTRO and blew the whistle on the goings-on in the country’s communications intelligence organisation. Subsequent internal inquiries and special audits by the CAG in January 2010 (the NTRO was outside the purview of any government audit when it was formed) led to the chargesheeting of seven officers.

A retired senior intelligence officer blamed “those in control of the country’s security apparatus” for NTRO’s “miserable condition.”

Serious lapses in NTRO equipment buying: CAG

Serious lapses in NTRO equipment buying: CAG

by Danish Raza Mar 12, 2012 First Post

New Delhi: While the Comptroller and Auditor General’s  (CAG) special audit report of National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO)remains a top secret, the auditing authority has officially admitted it found serious lapses in recruitment of regular employees and procurement of equipment by NTRO.

“We have noticed cases of appointment of ineligible candidates and lack of transparency in recruitment of regular employees in NTRO,” the office of the Directorate General of Audit (central expenditure), an arm of CAG, said in response to RTI application filed by V.K. Mittal

The findings of NTRO audit have not been made public.The report has not been placed before the Parliament. The agency is a highly specialised technical intelligence gathering agency.

Responding to a query on the types of irregularities which were detected in procurement of systems/ equipment, the auditing body said, “We have noticed lack of transparency and non- compliance of rules in procurement of systems/ equipment and deficient procurement management resulting in cases of excess payment/ wasteful expenditure to exchequer.”

According to the RTI reply dated February 29, 2012, a copy of which is with Firstpost, CAG has also noticed instances of misuse of official position. CAG has also informed Mittal that neither NTRO nor the National Security Advisor (NSA) has filed any action taken report based on special audit report- a first for any intelligence agency in India.

In other words, NSA received the audit report but took no action based on its findings.

“The fact that the CAG has detected bungling in NTRO but nothing was to curb it, calls for greater accountability in NTRO and other similar bodies,” said Mittal.

The NTRO, created in 2004, is a technical intelligence wing of the government of India. It reports directly to the NSA.

Mittal, a former scientist with NTRO and one of the founding members of the organization, exposed a series of irregularities in the purchase of defence equipment in NTRO. He wrote to the NSA and the Prime Minister’s Office about lack of transparency in procuring of equipment, including unmanned aerial vehicles, by the NTRO.

Last year, Mittal filed a petition in Delhi High Court on the issue. The High Court refused to interfere in the matter directing the CAG to proceed in accordance with law.

Mittal then moved Supreme Court which, in August last year, issued notices to the PMO, Central Vigilance Commission, NTRO and CAG.

In the next hearing on March 19, the government has to submit the auditor’s report in the Supreme Court before the bench of justice H L Dattu and C K Prasad.

DNA Exclusive: CAG nails NTRO; NSA sits on report

DNA Exclusive: CAG nails NTRO; NSA sits on report

Published: Monday, Mar 5, 2012, 9:15 IST
By Saikat Datta | Place: New Delhi | Agency: DNA

An aggressive audit of the country’s premier technical spying agency, the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), by the CAG — the first time an intelligence agency has been audited — has revealed large-scale irregularities, corruption and several instances of official position/s being misused.

The report is unlikely to be made public or even placed before Parliament, but is bound to raise questions on National Security Adviser (NSA) Shiv Shankar Menon’s role as he has not taken any action on the report for months. The NTRO does not come under any ministry and it reports directly to the NSA.

India is one of the few democracies where Parliament has no supervisory control over intelligence agencies. The report comes at a time when there is tremendous churning within the intelligence community with calls for greater accountability and transparency.

The CAG summarised its findings while replying to former NTRO joint secretary VK Mittal’s query under RTI seeking details of the audit. It says the CAG has “noticed cases of appointment of ineligible candidates” confirming fears that the agency has been flouting rules while recruiting senior people.

A source told DNA that this has resulted in people being recruited based on their “connections” rather than merit. In fact, IPS officer Jaijeet Singh (Maharashtra cadre) who joined the NTRO last year is probing such cases. So far, five people — either of the rank of joint secretary or director — are under the scanner. The “illegal recruits” include Commander Manoj Modi from the navy, LtCol Sachin Burman, part of the cyber-espionage team, Pramod Prasad, Ruchichandra Srivastava and HS Dhillon.

The CAG found that contractual appointments of senior officers were not transparent. Financial rules were flouted while recruiting Brigadier Anil Malhotra on contract. Malhotra dealt with counter-intelligence and internal security.

The report also talks of several senior officers “misusing” their positions. Chief among them is MS Vijaraghavan, currently the second-in-command in the NTRO.

The fact that he used a prime property in New Delhi’s posh Hauz Khas enclave as his personal residence — rent bills ran into lakhs — left the organisation embarrassed. The CAG recorded several instances of “misuse of official power”, many being committed by Vijayraghavan. Despite all this, he still holds a sensitive post because the government has chosen to ignore the charges against him.

PV Kumar, the present NTRO chairman, too investigated the mess and sent his report to the NSA, Menon. But he has been sitting on both reports for months. And the picture is unlikely to change because neither report would be tabled in Parliament. The reason: the reports are confidential.

The CAG said in an earlier reply, November 28, 2011, under RTI that neither the NTRO nor the NSA has sent any “action-taken” report. DNA has learnt that the CAG has found at least 143 instances of illegal recruitments. It has also found “non-compliance of rules” in procurement of systems and equipment. This means kickbacks could have been part of the several purchases made by NTRO.

The NTRO was set up after the Kargil war to coordinate all technical intelligence efforts. But the organisation has failed to take off because of nepotism and corruption. Even Union home minister P Chidamabaram refused to include the agency in his daily intelligence briefings. The home ministry recently denied it the status of a notified agency that could legally intercept phones and emails of the people of the country.

SC asks for a copy of CAG report on NTRO scam

SC asks for a copy of CAG report on NTRO scam

TNN | Jan 17, 2012, 12.47AM IST

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday asked for a copy of the Comptroller and Auditor General’s report pointing out alleged irregularities in the purchase of intelligence equipment byNational Technical Research Organisation(NTRO), which was set up in 2004 to provide critical data relating to threats to the nation.

Solicitor general R F Nariman assured a bench of Justices H L Dattu and C K Prasad that the government had already initiated action against erring officials on the basis of the CAG report but petitioner V K Mittal’s counsel Jayant Bhushan wondered why the Centre was shy of bringing the alleged irregularities into the open by placing the report in Parliament.

The bench asked Nariman to produce the CAG report on NTRO scam in a sealed cover by March 19. This is the second time within a year that the apex court has asked for a CAG report, the first being on the irregularities in the allotment of 2G spectrum and licences during A Raja’s tenure as telecom minister.

Nariman was belligerent in trashing Mittal’s PIL, not only accusing the latter of attempting to serve a personal interest but also alleging that his correspondence with the authorities revealing top secret projects with their location could help countries inimical to India.

Bhushan countered Nariman by alleging that the government was deliberately keeping the matter under wraps in the name of security to shield the culprits. But the bench said, “It is not a case where the government has put the issue in cold storage but promised that it was being looked into. We will not pass an order but request the SG to produce the CAG report in a sealed cover on March 19.”

Mittal had alleged that a major portion of the Rs 450 crore NTRO scam pertained to purchase of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from an Israeli firm allegedly at a very high price without the mandatory approval of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS).

NTRO, which functions under the Prime Minister’s Office, has been entrusted with the task of missile monitoring, satellite and airborne imagery, cyber patrolling and security, cyber offensive operations and communication support systems including cryptology.

It was on the complaint of Mittal, a former joint director in the government of India who had also served in NTRO, that the PMO had ordered a probe into the scam and later, CAG was asked to look into the organisation’s accounts. Nariman alleged that Mittal wanted to head the NTRO and filed the PIL when he did not succeed.

During the last hearing, Bhushan had alleged that Delhi High Court had dismissed Mittal’s writ petition on April 6, 2011 after the Centre filed a probe status report in sealed cover assuring prompt action against the guilty officials. However, no action was taken till date, he claimed.

Mittal’s petition stated that the independent body answerable only to the national security adviser was allotted approximately Rs 8,000 crore since 2005, but there was no accounting of the spending.

Appeal to All Retired/Serving Officials of DRDO – Please Provide Inputs & Suggestion for PIL’s

2 Comments

Dear friends

To save our premier organization from clutches of corrupt official it is time to submit PIL’s in honorable Supreme Court/ High Court. The people who retired or serving in DRDO are very well know that how much neck deep corruption, nepotism, favoritism and misuse of funds prevailing in DRDO.

So far DRDO has escaped from the attentions of the various agencies like CAG, CVC, CBI, Income Tax, Custom and Sales Tax etc.  The www.corrutionindrdo.com received lot of information which can attract the above all agencies and in few cases the information also about how DRDO fooling or misleading these agencies.

We have to tell the honorable Court that DRDO senior management is as corrupt as Sh P J Thamos, Ex- CVC, or as Justice Soumitra Sen (first judge impeached by Rajyashabha) and some corrupt as Sh Andimuthu Raja (2G scam fame minister) as Smt Kanimozhi Karunanidhi (2G scam fame member of Parliament) as Sh Suresh Kalmadi ( CWG scam fame member of Parliament)  are now in Tihar Jail.

DRDO established in the year 1958 with a humble beginning to technical support to the defence forces, as an integral part Ministry of Defence along with defence production units. The successive war fought by India such as 1962 with China, 1956 & 1971 with Pakistan and 1999 Kargil war it has been proved that DRDO has not played significant role and exhausted billion of billion  poor tax payers money.

The promised were like bring moon on Earth as programs like IGMDP (Missile Program), MBT (Arjun), SAMYUKTA(Electronic Warfare), LCA(Tejas Aircraft), RADARS, SHIPS, SUBMARINE, Bread, Butter, Jam etc.

Until 1980 DRDO spread from Kanyakumari to Leh and Gujrat to North East. The huge Infrastructure were built (1 Lakh Crores) and high technical man power recruited                 ( 30000) by passing UPSC and aim was to develop import substitute but with the passage of time:-

  1. DRDO forgot all the commitments to the defence forces and instead of strengthen the forces it played role of obstacles for procurement latest technology.
  2. DRDO directors, Hqrs justify their successive failures but consumed 7-8 % of defence budget annually.
  3. The total failures were reviewed by ministry of defence and 439 projects was short closed/ aborted(before time)
  4. Programs which were initiated by 1990 with the promise of deliverable products were failed measurably the poor tax payer’s money which were supposed to play a positive role in country’s defence were mere wasted.
  5. Today we are importing the import substitute latest example like SDR and befooled the countryman.
  6. In the name of SECRECY article’s of 1927 & 1965 seals the corrupt DRDO top brasses and they are siphoning the precious money in the broad day light to their son’s, daughter’s, spouse, relatives and friends bank accounts.
  7. Orders are placed with foreign firms through open / limited tenders but the case is negotiated with these private pocket firms which are related to them. As a result huge DRDO money goes to massage parlour, Cocktails Party’s  and dowry with Mercedes Benz ( Ex Director DIITM, DRDO Hqrs was generously to give Mercedes Benz to his Son In Law)
  8. Fighting against corruption prevailing in DRDO since 2001 have collected enough information and ready to file PIL .  Through website www.corruptionindrdo.com many many honest, patriotic and nationalist people join their hands and supplied lot information about corruption, nepotism to save our DRDO.

I appeal to my brothers and sisters of serving and retired DRDO officials to join hands in support the PIL’s for cleaning the DRDO from corrupt officials and make DRDO a perfect productive organization so our future talented boys and girls not quit from DRDO due to unethical environment.

The proposed PIL will be submitted through Sh Vinay Kumar Mittal, Ex Scientist ‘G’, DRDO and whistle blower of NTRO. The PIL’s will be presented by Sh Prashant Bhushan the noted advocated   Sh Anna’s right hand.

  1. Extension / contracts/ consultancy of corrupt DRDO officials beyond the 60 years of service
  2. Recruitment/ Assessment tool used to encourage corruption/ nepotism/favoritism and kick backs in recruitment and assessments( DRDO RAC activities and the role of RAC chairman)
  3. To fix the accountability. So far nobody is answerable to anybody in DRDO. It has inculcated a culture to encourage bluff and give benefit to bluff masters.
  4. To expose all DRDO serving/ retire top officials having companies which are involving in unethical business directly or indirectly and siphoning the poor tax payer’s money.

Sh Vinay Kumar Mittal, Ex Scientist ‘G’, DRDO has kindly agreed and offered his services to submit PIL’s who already brought the NTRO corruption in the notice of honorable Supreme Court as well as in the notice of common people of India.

Thanking you

Subject  Request for information for filing PIL in Delhi High Court against DRDO

Dear Prabhu,

i am an avid reader of your site about what is happening in DRDO.

DRDO of today is not the DRDO of yesteryear’s . There no doubt that there is massive corruption , favoritism , nepotism , misuse of official position and funds in various laboratorieses of DRDO. DRDO Laboratory Director are ‘neo kings’ who are law unto themselves . I remember a Director’s conference in mid 900’s when Dr. Arunachalam was SA and T.N Sheshan was Defence Secretary . He very open  said that  ‘”when you visit a DRDO lab there will be  a long pathway –  you open one gate then second gate and finally a third gate to see the king (Director)  sitting and ruling over his empire. They consider themselves nothing less than kings – the Maharaja with lab staff and scientist as their praja”.

I have personally witnessed all this and deeply saddened

What went wrong with NTRO is this DRDO culture which was imported by DRDO crowd i.e. KVSS Prasad Rao and M.S.Vijayraghavan .This DRDO culture destroyed NTRO. Now Hon’ble Supreme Court taking a very very serious view of happenings in NTRO , things are expected to move in right direction. Based on  the evidence provided by me , I have reasons to believe that some very very senior functioneries will definately be arrested after Hon’ble Supreme Court goes throught CAG and CVC report on NTRO.

I am now filing four more PILs in Supreme Court throught Sh. Prashant Bhushan  to the issue of corruption in NTRO with all the evidnece . This became essentail since there were many issues which could not be covered in my earlier PIL/SLP in the matter related to NTRO.

I have a request to make . Kindly provide me with evidence ( RTI responses, copies of documents if any and details of cases ) about corruption, misuse of official position , favoritism , nepotism in DRDO and I will file PIL in Delhi High Court against DRDO. This is essential since many of you are already working in DRDO and give3n the poor moral character of officials of DRDO , you may not like to take up the issue with you bosses. As far as as I am concerned , i have nothing to loose and worry about – iIhave faced enough threats of liquidation , arrest etc and I have taken this in my stride . When you challenge this corrupt system , this is bound to happen.

Unfortunately DRDO has escaped attention of the agencies/ institutions  because of  general impression that ‘ they are poor scientists only and not Income Tax , Sales Tax or other public dealing departments”. We have to tell the world that DRDO senior management is as corrupt as any other department.

Please do not worry about the cost . This can be worked out separately in an transparent manner.

Please put this appeal on your web site. The documents can be provided either through you or directly to me at following address

Re: Illegal wiretapping and intellegence agencies oversight

www.outlookindia.com | Who?ll Monitor The Monitor?

A CAG audit, inquiry by a high-powered committee spell disaster for NTRO

Created in the aftermath of the intelligence failure in Kargil, the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) was supposed to be at the cutting edge of gathering intelligence via technical means. But just six years after its birth on April 14, 2004, the outfit is gasping for breath.

Mired in corruption and known for operational inefficiency, it has become a hub for nepotism and has the dubious distinction now of being the first intelligence agency in the history of independent India to be subjected to a financial audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.

More than the audit, though, it’s the ongoing inquiry being conducted by a one-man high-powered committee that threatens to shake the agency’s very foundations. The man heading the committee, P.V. Kumar, retired as a special secretary from the Research and Analysis Wing last year and was absorbed into NTRO as its advisor. Kumar has now been given the unenviable task of inquiring into the murky waters around the organisation in the hope that it can be brought back on track.

Topping Kumar’s agenda are the alleged misdeeds of the agency’s second-in-command, Dr M.S. Vijayaraghavan, a former DRDO scientist who was inducted into NTRO under mysterious circumstances. Why was someone who had spent his professional life working with semi-conductors and heading a facility that dealt with silicon chips chosen to head a technical intelligence organisation? His detractors attribute it to his proximity to the scientific advisor to the prime minister, R. Chidambaram.

The high-powered committee has been asked to look into some of the allegations of misappropriation and misconduct against Vijayaraghavan. These are:

* He chaired several price negotiation committees, including one that purchased a large number of routers from US firm CISCO Systems in an order worth US $1 million. Subsequent to the purchase, Vijayaraghavan’s daughter was employed by CISCO. Did the promise of a job influence the deal?
* Kumar is also looking into the details of Vijayaraghavan’s travels abroad as well as the total expenditure incurred by NTRO on the same. Documents available with Outlook show that NTRO spent Rs 18.22 lakh in 2007-2008, Rs 16.72 lakh in 2008-2009 and Rs 8.04 lakh in 2009-2010 to sponsor his travels.
* Vijayaraghavan’s appointment was allegedly made without a search committee or an advertisement. Did this not violate the recruitment rules of the government?
* There are several other issues as well. For instance, Vijayaraghavan was staying at a posh, two-storeyed bungalow in Delhi’s upmarket Hauz Khas locality for almost a year. While the rent for the bungalow ran into several lakhs a month, he didn’t have to pay a single rupee.

The most worrying aspect of Vijayaraghavan’s current tenure, however, is that while being appointed as advisor to NTRO, he was also allowed to continue in his earlier capacity as head of a DRDO lab as well as serve as the executive director of a non-government society seen as a lobby for the electronic industry. Known as the Society for Electronic Transactions & Security (SETS), it paid for a huge bungalow in Bangalore where his family stayed while he resided in Delhi. Interestingly, while the gazette notification states that he was appointed in the pay scale of Scientist “G”, his current appointment is a grade higher.

But Vijayaraghavan’s indiscretions are not the only anomalies at NTRO. The agency appointed Vaibhav Vikrant, a man with a financial background, to fly by remote control its Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Usually the preserve of experienced IAF pilots, Vikrant only had to take a snap course in flying aero-models in Hissar for his appointment to sail through.

Then there are security breaches. Ruchi Srivastava, an NTRO official, allegedly purchased a computer mainframe of Chinese origin, without bothering to seek the approval of the agency responsible for clearing such purchases, the Cipher Policy Committee. Similarly, a portable satellite communication system was purchased from a Singapore-based company blacklisted by the Indian government.

Worried about the massive security and financial implications, the government asked the CAG to begin an audit in Feb 2010. Kumar likewise was asked to begin a thorough investigation into the other allegations. Sources say the report, when ready, could sound the death knell for NTRO. The organisation, built on the patterns of the American National Security Agency, is now busy fighting its internal demons, rather than stopping terrorists preparing to wage a covert war against India.

The corruption in purchase has been investigated and major penalties awarded additional secretary Dr MS Vijayraghvan, NTRO was directly under PMO, NTRO has been conceived by the DRDO. All those people holding the high offices in NTRO have served in DRDO at least for 20 -25 years.

The DRDO corruption culture is running in their veins. DRDO is training ground for technocrats to learn the skills of corruption using all technical terminology to fool forces, bureaucrats, financial experts and as well as  politicians.

Defence Research, National; Technical Research, Space Research, Atomic Research all these research organizations started to accomplish a mission, to ease the life of common citizen of India, to enhance the economy growth, but the common man has lost the faith because they consume a heft some but deliverables are like piece of peanuts.

If we compare of technology development of North Korea probably we can find our self nowhere. North Korea is isolated from the rest of the world but they have the technology which can challenge the developed countries. It is due to the discipline inculcated in their citizens from decades.

Why we are not able to give due respect to our constitution. If we are not getting “some thing”, than we remembers the various articles of constitutions and there is lot of hue & cry for violation of fundamental right. But when its come to repay the due to constitution we simply ignore and than one man scratch another man’s back or blame game start.

DRDO in its successive   failures of projects/ programs have justified the expenditure by comparing the loss occurred due to rail accident, or loss occurred by natural calamities/ floods etc.

Sometimes DRDO people compare their assets with assets of XYZ, who won the election and enjoyed the facility provided by the government. This sickness expressed just to justifies the expenditure where the system did not perform due to incompetency of top DRDO officials. There is rat race in DRDO now days to become rich like a smugglers become rich in short period.

The tactics used by NTRO in their procurement as well as recruitments are followed exactly are one tone, carbon copy of DRDO existing culture.

Honorable Prime  Minister, Honorable Defence Minister must not ignore DRDO from the list of sick, unproductive organization, if it continuo like this, if accountability not fixed than history will repeat once again and the fighting forces lose their precious lives it is all due to non availability of latest frontline  technology.

Thanking you
