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

Helpless India

1 Comment

To                                                                                                       11th September 2011
The Defence Minister
Room No -104, South Block
New Delhi – 110011

Reference: a)  Your letter No 1409-VIP/RM/2011 dated 21st March 2011

                       b)  Your letter No 1409-VIP/RM/2236 dated 20th May 2011

The bomb blast at gate No -5 of High Court, Delhi has once again proved that we are helpless. The government is helpless, Prime Minister is helpless, Home Minister is helpless that is all agencies responsible for protection of common man is helpless. Right hand does not know what left hand is doing.

Through this website I raised many issues of DRDO, Ministry of Defence, Government of India and found that no concrete action has been taken because Defence Minister is also helpless.

Accountability is missing in each and every level in the DRDO machinery. Accountability is missing therefore unaccountable assets are growing in individuals bank accounts and benami properties etc.

In DRDO there is no accountability at all; SA to RM is holding four posts simultaneously like SA to RM, DG (R&D), Secretary DRDO, Program Coordinator / Chairman Brahmos aerospace Private Limited etc. He  is enjoys the unaccountable money with the help of Dr Vasudeva of SPIC and many more means but not accountable to national security. In Kargil like scenario SA may say that I am helpless because my past predecessors have not fixed the track of development and 30000 strong scientific/technical force whom I am leading does not listen to me, no where it has been written that DRDO is responsible to develop concurrent technology useful for national defence or DRDO is not responsible for developing a system which can go for batch production.

DRDO is using simply the word like (a) Mission Mode (b) Technology Development           (c) Science and Technology basic research. These words have been borrowed simply to justify the annual expenditure which is forcefully granted by defence ministry.

I am not accountable and none my director is are accountable, SA’s punch lines which is maintained by in all labs meticulously. This the vision of DRDO labs for accountability, this culture is followed every effort is made

Directors are free to misuse the government funds as they have to match the exorbitant projected funds for a particular year.

How DRDO is helping the wasting the government funds is narrated by Sh S Ravind, PD, LLR, LRDE Bangalore to CVC, New Delhi.
