Date: 8/10/2013
Sent to CVO for Investigation/Action Taken Report on date : 16/3/2011
CVO Report Received on date: 18/7/2013

Prima facie material has been found against the officials involved. Regular Disciplinary action is recommended on: 9/9/2013

Dr A K Tyagi, CPIO, DRDO Hqrs finally charge sheeted on 8th October 2013 F/N. Charge Sheet signed by Honorable Defence Minister, Sh A K Antony.

On 26th April 2011 I have posted a letter to Defence Minister regarding “DRDO Prefers to Give RTI Cell Responsibilities to Tainted Officers “

DRDO RTI Cell
1. Dr.Arun Kumar, D.O.P. – First Appellate Authority-Vigilance case is pending
2. Dr A.K Tyagi Scientist ‘F’ – CPIO – Case Registered in CVC No.569/11/9
3. Dr Prahlada, CC R&D – Ex F.A.A.- Case is pending with SC/ST commission
4. Sh S Ravi, Scientist ‘G` – Ex CPIO – Case of embezzlement(ITM Mussoorie)

Two were fixed

Dr.Arun Kumar, Ex – D.O.P. Scientist ‘H’, Outstanding Scientist was suspended and Charge sheeted – proceeding initiated
Dr A.K Tyagi , Scientist ‘G’ CPIO, DRDO Hqrs – Charge sheeted –

Next two are under lens of honest employees and both will be fixed

Dr A.K Singh present DOP is supporting Dr A.K Tyagi in all means – it shows his approaches, Dr A.K Singh leave protecting the corrupts and give attentions towards genuine transfer cases of Sh.Sachin, Scientist ‘C’ GTRE and Sh Naval Gupta, Scientist ‘B’ PM-2 Site.

Dr A.K Singh was bothering for image of DRDO but not able to handle Dr CP Ramanarayanan, who was made worst comment in DRDO history.

Some of senior DRDO’s officials are thinking they are GOD and they have power to ruin any one future, now it is not possible because thousands/ lakhs of eyes are watching your every moment.

Wait for GOD’s justice.

[M.O.F. No. F.15(8)-E IV/57, dated 28th March, 1959].
Circumstances under which a Government servant may be placed under suspension –
Cases where continuance in office of the Government servant will prejudice the investigation, trial or any inquiry (e.g. apprehended tampering with witnesses or documents);

Where the continuance in office of the Government servant is likely to seriously subvert discipline in the office in which the public servant is working.
Where allegations have been made against the Government servant and preliminary inquiry has revealed that a prima facie case is made out which would justify his prosecution or is being proceeded against in departmental proceedings, and where the proceedings are likely to end in his conviction and/or dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement from service.
Suspension
(1) The appointing authority or any authority to which it is subordinate or the disciplinary authority or any other authority empowered in that behalf by the President, by general or special order, may place a Government servant under suspension-

Open Letter to Sh Avinash Chandra, SA to RM, DG DRDO

10 Comments

Dear

Shri Avinash  Chandra Ji, after you joined as DRDO boss, honest and neutral official expected and hoped for good decision, good administration, good cohesive  environment, hope you will shake DRDO with your full strength  to get rid of incompetent stuff.

But sorry to say you disappointed the honest scientists/ staff/ officials and they are not finding any reason to stay or giving their 100% output to DRDO.

Avinash ji, collect all your good energy and get rid of the nexus of culprits who are controlling SPIC, CCE, Department of Personnel, RTI Cell, RAC, CEPTAM and some Lab heads.

Every DRDO official knows acts and deeds of these corrupt officials but sake of their carrier not coming forward but sending anonymous or fake signed letters ( inputs are correct) to Prime Minister, Defence Minister and other government agencies and of course to you also, I have also received some from various labs. (Sending bunch to Honorable Defence Minister)

The increasing numbers of court cases are also perfect examples of mismanagement in DRDO.

The decision of giving responsibility of administration/material management to scientists is also going to be a big problem in the coming time.

Perfect administration and perfect procurement is not cup of scientists. They are not able to match with laid down rules of government of India. Day by day increasing number of anomalies / audit objections in recruitments / procurement are going to be a big issues.

Dr. P S Goel’s DO letter implementing of interaction for promotion from  Sc ‘ F’ to Sc ‘G’   without approval from cabinet is a clear cut  case of violation of Article 309 and the repercussion now started in shape of court cases which was hampering the progress of DRDO and created demotivation among senior scientists

Same in RAC/ CEPTAM encouraging recruitment of incompetent / fake degree / diploma appointment of such candidates who are not eligible as per SRO/ appointment on the basis of nepotism/ in this respect you only see the RTI’s on these issues, you will find clear picture of the future of DRDO.

You are under the impression that corrupt CPIO, Dr A K Tyagi is protecting DRDO. It is not true, instead of exposing the corrupt practices, he is trying to bury the information and very soon these corrupt practices will sink the DRDO ship. As you aware CVC already issued advice to CVO, MoD against the Dr A K Tyagi for “Regular Disciplinary action is recommended on: 9/9/2013“and you are not taking any action to remove him for the post of CPIO, DRDO. What does it mean, it means still you are in grip of corrupt officials. A honest advice is first change your staff officer and old staff of Dr Sarswat’s time, than only you will be find some change in DRDO’s scenario.

Avinash ji, we all very well know that you are washing dirty linen of Dr V K Sarswat’s several misdeed which are the outcome of mismanagement of Dr Sarswat, because he was only on? Government agencies very well know about that, and why he was not able to get extension,    Ms R. AMRUTHA VANI, SC ‘F’’s  (‘Below the Bench Mark’) case, Dr Neelam Bhalla’s, Sc ‘F’ (Workplace Humiliation, Harassment, Gender discrimination & Victimisation)  case etc. but problem is that you are dealing all issues with same set of officials ( Dr Sarswat’s  & Dr. W Selvamurthy’s gang) who created and responsible for these kinds of hurdles in DRDO for their own wasted interest.

CEPTAM Director enjoys all type of corrupt practices like he is engaging his wife and relatives in different recruitments boards as experts. Recent CEPTAM recruitment process he introduced mandatory SMS registration (cost Rs 3 to each applicant) for his personal benefit (he worked this out this without proper procedure) and due to this almost thousands of aspirant were not able to get their admit cards. In this process lot of SC/ST candidates also suffered, you can check with records, where Government of India facilitates to SC/ST candidates in recruitments without any fee. Almost 5 lakhs candidates applied nearly one lakh rejected and thousands of candidate could not appear due remote centre problem, candidates were not given asked choice centers, they received admit cards with centers like Goa, Mizoram, Chennai, Patna.

CEPTAM Recruitment Case – Few examples

  1.  Sh. Kamdev , SC candidate – Admit card not received  reason –  SMS registration
  2.  Sh. Kunal – Admit card received after one day   – 5 times he registered by SMS – Delhi local but centre was Ajmer
  3. Sh Satvir – Applied for post of welder and asked for local nearby centre Delhi but he was given centre Chennai
  4. Mohd Shahbaz – No Admit card received/ SMS registered/ application not found
  5. Sh Saroj Kumar- applied for 0217 Diesel Mech local Harsh Vihar, Delhi based   admit card received with Centre in Patna
  6. Sh Sandeep – applied for Fireman not received admit card – reason not known
  7. Ms Kavita – resident of Delhi, Admit card received given exam in Kanpur centre spend Rs 4000 will Director CEPTAM reimburse  or only busy minting money for himself and his relatives.

Hundreds of candidates wasted their days in front of CEPTAM reception but could not able get their admit cards.

 Congrats Sh.AvinashChander for AGNI-5

Heartiest congratulations to Sh.Avinash Chandra and all AGNI team members for the great success of AGNI-5 trials. It will boost the moral and reason to stay in DRDO to new upcoming young DRDO scientists.

Sh.Avinash Chandra is also keeping his promise to implement the Rama Rao Committee’s recommendations.

But major challenges are still waiting for your attentions like corruption and nepotism.  Both are big issues that require careful handling and also strongly like Honorable R.M. Sh. A K Antony gave example not to gave extension (License of Corruption) to Dr V K Saraswat.

The recent extensions to some senior incompetent scientists are example that Sh.Avinash Chandra is still in the grip of corrupt DRDO officials.

In Dr.Arun Kumar’s case Sh.Avinash Chandra was member of inquiry committee and gave clean chit to Dr.Arun Kumar and later on Sh. A K Antony corrected and suspended the culprit.

Sh.Avinash Chandra’s weaknesses are with corrupt DRDO officials gangs who are enriched and patronized by Dr. V K Sarswat and Dr. W Selvamurthy (PhD in Yoga).

Sh.Avinash Chandra ji leave your weakness, without fear declare the results of Scientist ‘H’, since you have taken responsibility to develop defence self reliance of our great nation. Leave the small weaknesses and weed out the corrupt gang of DRDO. A lot of honest and capable persons are available in DRDO.

Dr. Anil Kumar Tyagi’s case is also an example, why Dr. A K Singh helped him to get result via DoPT advice, have they shown you that this kind of practice done by DRDO before; you just allow them blindly to follow this route. You have been receiving hundreds of cases where humentrain / medical/ grievances request for transfer and other kind of help by DRDO scientist and staff. Can you tell me a single example of where these stalwarts took fast action?  I can send you a lot of examples where your HR/DOP dealings have been insensitive and the person has no choice but to bear it or leave the organization.

You can find their expertise and efficiency in protection of corrupt and incompetent DRDO officials like example case of Sh. R K Agarwal, who got promotion of scientist ‘H’ with false work claims and proudly publishes in DRDO news letter also, because he knows he managed his boss.

Sir, it is requested that you do the needful to save DRDO from the claws of these corrupt DRDO officials.

Information sought is related to official tour programmes and TA/DA Bills of Dr. AK Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur and Dr. Vineeta Nigam, Scientist ‘D’, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

  4. In CIC decision in case No. CIC/LS/A/2011/000386 dated 29 June 2011, Prabhu Dayal Dandriyal Vs DRDO, CIC has allowed the tour related information. Therefore denial of information under shadow of section 24(1) is illegal.
  5. Despite being a notified organisation, DRDO is following section 4 of RTI Act and proactively disclosed IPR, various service rules, procurement & recruitment rules etc on DRDO website. As per DOPT Notification F.No. 1/8/2012-IR dated 11 Sept 2012 and 3rd April 2013 official tours of Ministers  & Officials should be disclosed proactively on website by all organisations. Tour Programme & tour expenses related information is not exempted for organisation notified under Schedule II as per CIC decisions as this is information related to Estt. Matter and general nature.

DRDO hikes salary, ignores FinMin order

Leave a comment

 ABHINANDAN MISHRA 20th Apr 2013

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), increased on its own the pay scale of its officials, thus overlooking the objections by the Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) and Audit authorities, who had turned down the request for the increase. In spite of being asked to stop this, the DRDO ignored the Finance Ministry order and continued to pay the hikes salary, thus causing an annual liability of Rs 9.6 crore.

According to a note dated 10 September 2012 and signed by an under secretary of the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, upgrading the grade pay of Technical Officers (A) from Rs 4,600 to Rs 4,800, was “irregular, contrary to the accepted recommendation of the Central Pay Commission and in violation of the allocation and transaction of business rules and was undertaken suo moto without reference, much less concurrence, of the Ministry of Finance”. An audit conducted by the defence audit branch (DGADS) for 2011-2012 passed strictures against the DRDO authorities for this action. The audit report said that DRDO officials, during the audit, agreed to recover the amount that was paid to its employees.

“The grant of Grade pay Rs 4,800 did not have the approval of the Ministry of Finance. Department of Expenditure had treated it as ‘irregular’ and asked to withdraw it. During discussion, at the insistence of audit, the DRDO authorities agreed to recover the overpaid amount of Rs 24 cr,” remarked DGADS. Some DRDO officers said that scientists who do not have the required expertise have been entrusted with managing the administration of DRDO.

India’s secrets are in Guangdong

A successful Chinese hacking attack has caused what is arguably the biggest security breach in India with systems of hundreds of key DRDO and other security officials being compromised and leading to the leak of sensitive files related to the cabinet committee on security (CCS), the highest decision-making body for security issues of the government of India.

The other stolen files recovered so far belong to the governments of the United States, Russia, and South Korea.

The leak was detected in the first week of March as officials from India’s technical intelligence wing, National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), working with private Indian cyber security experts cracked open a file called “army cyber policy”. The file had been attached to hacked email accounts of senior DRDO officials that quickly spread through the system in a matter of seconds.

As Indian security experts began to track its origin they discovered, for the first time, that all the sensitive files stolen from the infected systems were being uploaded on a server in the Guangdong province of China.

So far, Indian intelligence has never been able to pinpoint a hacking attack with such accuracy.
As they continued to trace the breach, they discovered thousands of top secret CCS files, and other documents related to surface-to-air missile and radar programmes from DRDL, a DRDO laboratory based in Hyderabad, among many other establishments.

Even the e-tickets of the scientists who had travelled to Delhi in the last week of February were found on the server.

The intelligence officials also discovered documents of deals struck between DRDO and Bharat Dynamics Ltd, a defence PSU which manufactures strategic missiles and components. Some other recovered files were related to price negotiations with MBDA, a French missile manufacturing company.

But the shocking part was the extent of the hacking by the Chinese, believed to be officially sponsored.

The officials began to find files related to the Russian military as well as files that belonged to CSRDC (Centre for Security Research & Development Center) which comes under the United States department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology directorate.
Some files from NASA too have been recovered so far. All this was discovered after cyber security

officials of the Information Dominance Group (IDG) and private Indian cyber security officials began to track down the “NetTraveler Trojan and Key logger” that had infected Indian systems. The other files recovered belong to South Korea, Russia, and the United States.

For a server of its size and capacity, believed to be worth almost Rs150 crore in the open market, it hosted just six domains. This is highly unusual because a server of this size usually has over 10,000 domains.

This meant that this was being used for a specific purpose. Initially, it took time to decipher the files since they were all encrypted. But after the key was found, the decryption of the files began and to their horror, Indian intelligence officials discovered this massive breach of security.

Traced to server:
*Systems of hundreds of key DRDO and other security officials compromised

*Sensitive files related to the cabinet committee on security (CCS) leaked

*Thousands of top secret CCS files and documents related to surface-to-air missile and radar programmes from defence research & development lab discovered

*All sensitive files stolen from infected systems uploaded on a server in China’s Guangdong province
