The contract was cooked with M/s MILLENNIUM SYSTEMS a computer peripheral supplier and well connected with Sh Rajesh Goyal since he was in ISSA. You can verify these things with back record of firms supply orders vs with Sh Rajesh Goyal’s involvements. The M/s MILLENNIUM SYSTEMS website http://milsys.co.in is shown the order of client list. If 5 lakhs applicants registered the money was huge 15 Lakhs and in open market bulk SMS service providers 6 to 7 paisa /SMS so any one can work out the play in this contract. The CEPTAM not given this contract through DAVP shows the corruption angle.

To 2nd May 2013 The Defence Minister Room No -104, South Block New Delhi – 110011
Subject: One of the Strong Reasons of the Exodus in DRDO
Honorable Sir,
As you already very well aware that DRDO is in neck deep nepotism and corruption and we all welcome your latest decisions like suspension of Dr. Arun Kumar, not giving nod for further extension to Dr. V. K. Sarswat, order for special audit to CGDA, etc.
Sir, your commitment for honesty and stride for eradication of corruption and nepotism specially in defence sector, we salute your honest efforts and we are trying to contribute some authentic information related to nepotism and corruptions prevailing in DRDO from time to time to strengthen your mission.
In this series I would like to submit some documentary evidences of nepotism of Sh. R. C. Aggarwal, Director, DEAL, DRDO.
Sh. R. C. Aggarwal after taking charge as Director, DEAL put all scientists/staff of his community in important positions. You can verify with Departmental Part orders.
He supported Sh. R K Agarwal for his false claim of work in “Project NARAD”, which was the only real-time successful project and was appreciated by user (IPKF).
Sh. R K Agarwal claimed the aforementioned for his promotion to outstanding scientist and it was published in DRDO’s News Letter September 2012 page No -14 (Copy enclosed)
Departmental Part Order for manpower for Project NARAD reference are DO Part-I No.232/AD dated 18/11/1988 and DO Part-I No.238/AD, No.239/AD dated 24/11/1988. There was clear cut mention in the order that Sh. R K Agarwal was not part and parcel of Project NARAD.
The appreciation letter No 35795/Aks/per date 20th April 1990 by Major A K Singh, 57 Mtn Div. Signal Regiment to Sh Surendra Pal, Dy. Director, Project NARAD clearly reveals the names of DEAL’s scientists who participated and contributed their best in the real operation scenario. There is no name of Sh. R.K Agarwal in the appreciation letter.
The DRDO in their RTI reply No.DEAL/RTI/0003/2013 dated 08/04/2013 clearly mentioned that No such document/information is available, means there is nothing available which proves that Sh R K Agarwal was part and parcel of Project ‘NARAD’. It is clear evidence that Sh RC Aggarwal supported Sh R K Agarwal’s false claim for promotion to outstanding scientist because of the only reason of nepotism. (Copy enclosed)
Sh R.K.Agarwal already created an embarrassing situation for you due to his personal bias towards Schedule Cast when he deliberately cut the APAR numbers of a Technical Officer ‘C’. The victim has already represented this to Director, DEAL on 11th April 2013. But the best part is that DEAL management threatened and focused all their lethal weapons to fix him. And soon you will get this matter from SC/ST committee.
Sir, this nepotism and corruption is in the peak and this is also a right time for you to select a dynamic personality who can first tackle this neck deep nepotism and corruption of DRDO.
Sir, you are giving answering regarding exodus of DRDO scientists to our honorable parliamentarian since last 7-8 years and quoting that the senior scientists E, F, G are not quitting. But you are not aware that by seeing this honoring of incompetent scientists due to nepotism the junior scientists imagine their future and quit for better future.
Second major point is the senior scientists who were/are super seeded by these incompetent scientists are suffering from, blood pressure, heart problems and depressions. Ask health report of senior scientists.
Sir, can we expect any miracle research from these bunch of halfhearted and blood pressure, heart problems and depressions patients? Not at all.
Sir, you can find some scientist ‘G’ age of 38/40/42 etc. but they achieved this due nepotism if it is not true than how many get international recognition of their research work.
Once again it is requested to see this personally in the interest of DRDO as well as in the interest of nation.
Always strongly standing to fight against corruption, nepotism, castism and favoritism prevailing in DRDO

A very happy new year and I pray to almighty that you get well soon.
I was exclaimed along with the common people of India when Honorable Prime Minister was talking for a fundamental change in scientific development to match the development of science at least equivalent to China.
Our CC R&D Dr W Selvamurthy sang the coras and announced that DRDO has supplied items costing 1200 crores for defence applications.
Sir, nobody can digest and appreciate because DRDO with 28000 strong professional manpower, annual budget of 7000 t0 9000 Crores and with a infrastructure of One Lakh Twenty Thousand Crores Rupees, only delivers 1200 Crores worth products. What is this R&D. The bank interest for total asset and annual expenditure comes ten thousand crores, please rethink.
DRDO needs total restructuring of charter of duties of individual Labs and the mission mode activities to address the defence requirements and needs.
With the achievement of SATCOM microwave communication link lost the attraction as SATCOM was cheaper than microwave communication network. If DRDO have microwave activity on its charter of duty a sensible effort was needed for transform the microwave activity for other than communication as the developed nations preferred to use microwave from kitchen to battlefield.
As you very well are aware about the complaint lodge against the website by Dr Arun Kumar, DOP who is working in DRDO in service extension which is only meant for those who are real scientists and involved in international level research work. As per Government of India order it is clearly stated that this extension provisions are not for those who are working in administrative jobs.
Despite various complaints/ court cases pending against him, it is really surprising that how DRDO top management is co-operating his unlawful acts.
Sir, in my 8th August 2011 letter to you I have informed you about DOP’s undue support to Sh Dharmendra Kumar, Scientist ‘B’, SPIC for unknown reasons.
DRDO RTI cell refuse to give me RTI reply related to Sh Dharmendra Kumar, Scientist ‘B’, SPIC, DRDO funny quote that we will not give you information because you will publish that on your website.
Sir, DRDO’s RTI cell forgot that they are public servant and govern by Indian constitutional law but unfortunately some scientist are thinking that they are from the MARS and nobody from common public can raise any voice against their illegal acts.
Recently I have received my RTI reply from Delhi University regarding the qualification information of Sh Dharmendra Kumar, Scientist ‘B’, SPIC, DRDO.
Please see that Sh Dharmendra Kumar, Scientist ‘B’, SPIC had hide is post-graduation degree that is MSc (Operational Research) which he obtained from Delhi University in 2001, when he joined as STA ‘A’ in 20th October 2003.
Please see the following gazette notification of SRO 147 dated 28th June 2oo2 where it is clearly mentioned that “Candidates possessing the higher qualifications viz M Sc, Ph D, B.Tech, B E degree etc. shall not be considered for the recruitment”
Hope you will finally take appropriate action in time so the employees of DRDO start thinking that now there is a no need to send inputs to www.corruptionindrdo.com and their grievances and undue harassment will be properly taken care. It can only be possible to put honest, god-fearing, who believe in justice will post on key posts like CC (R&D), HR, DOP, RAC, CEPTEM etc. These posts are the origin of injustice, corruption, favouritism and nepotism.
Hope you will listen to my prayer and will do needful to clean the DRDO from evil of injustice, corruption, favouritism and nepotism.
Please see the following complaint of Dr Arun Kumar, I will like to know your advice/ suggestions. Website’s sole aim is to eradicate corruption/ nepotism / favoritism from DRDO. Website is running with the supports of all DRDO well-wishers.
All the articles in which Dr Arun Kumar has said that they are false allegations, but the facts were not submitted by him along with the complaints. The other side of DRDO knows the whole truth. The RTI documents are available with website which were obtained from RTI cell DRDO by citizen of India.
Some are also uploaded on the website from time to time to time and rest will be uploaded soon.
