Subject:     ‘Appeal for Justice’.

Respected Sir,

Very humbly, I submit as under:

  1. I, Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware was working as a Group ‘A’ Gazetted officer with designation Technical Officer ‘B’ in High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune- 411021, DRDO, Ministry of Defence. My educational qualification is M.Sc., Ph.D., MBA, PGDEE (Post Graduate Diploma in Ecology and Environment). I have completed 27 years’ of satisfactory service in HEMRL. My entire service record is spotlessly clean.

I hail from a much respected family. My father was a Freedom Fighter and a brave soldier of Azad Hind Sena.

  1. I had submitted timely my grievances to Dr. A Subhananda Rao, Director, HEMRL, Pune regarding my harassment. But no cognizance was taken by him.

I made earnest ‘Appeal for Justice’ on 09.01.2008 to the Director of Personnel (DoP), DRDO, Ministry of Defence, New Delhi regarding my grievances along with supporting documents. I had written a letter on 04.05.2009 to DoP regarding my ‘Harassment by Ostracism’ in HEMRL, Pune. The DoP, too, did not take any cognizance of my grievances and harassment.                          

  1. Instead of considering the gravity of my grievances and harassment by ostracism, Dr. Arun Kumar, the Director of Personnel, all of a sudden, suspended me on 08.2009 by fax order. So, I lodged my protest on 26.08.2009 against the illegal suspension order issued by the DoP.
  1. There is a big conspiracy in DoP office of DRDO from my suspension to dismissal from the service. The Director, HEMRL gave false information to DoP that I was involved in “High-Handed Anti- Departmental Activities”, “the Laboratory has come to a stand still vulnerable position”, “the working of the Laboratory is badly dislocated” and “all officers are in demoralized state”.

The DoP office without any preliminary Inquiry proceeded against me and arranged for my suspension and further dismissal. Thus, the Director HEMRL and DoP joined hands against me and were bent upon to see that I was dismissed from service on 30.12.2010 for the reasons best known to them. The suspension to dismissal charges are not related to each other. Further, penalty of dismissal is horribly disproportionate to the charges leveled against me.

  1. The charges leveled against me for my dismissal like ‘tone and tenor of letter’ are trifling, false and fictitious.
  2. I wish to point out legal points regarding my suspension to dismissal which show that how the Principles of Natural Justice were blatantly violated.
  1. Two separate Memoranda, two separate Disciplinary Inquiries.
  2. Second Inquiry initiated for alleged misconduct during my suspension period when I was not on duty.
  3. Two separate Penalties simultaneously, First Minor & Second Major.
  4. Second penalty was awarded without cancelling first penalty.
  5. No revocation of suspension when first minor penalty was awarded.
  6. Second penalty of Dismissal awarded while under suspension.
  7. Both the penalties horribly disproportionate to the charges.
  8. All the orders from suspension to dismissal illegal. Approval from Rajya Raksha Mantri (RRM) taken instead of Raksha Mantri. Signatory to the orders not authorized under Art.77(2) of the Constitution.          
  1. After dismissal order, I have done a lot of correspondence with the Competent Authority of DRDO for my illegal suspension, illegal punishments including my dismissal and for the settlement of Government dues i.e. rightful amount. But no cognizance was taken by them. This is also the intentionally harassment of me and my family.
  1. I had submitted ‘Appeal for Justice’ to the Competent Authority of the DRDO for my grievances and harassment. But instead of taking any cognizance, suitable action or giving any justice for the same, they have horribly punished me.

It means, ‘Asking for Justice is a Crime’ in DRDO! The Competent Authority of DRDO unnecessarily constrained me to file a various suits in the Hon’ble Courts for the Justice. After the dismissal order, I am jobless. I am highly qualified with 27 years well experienced officer from DRDO but disqualified for any service in the society because of my additional qualification is ‘Dismissal’ which was illegally and unauthorized awarded by the Competent Authority of DRDO. Hence, in all respect, this is very serious harassment and punishment for me.

  1. Sir, I have mentioned all the above irregularities and illegalities, involved in my suspension to dismissal, for your perusal please. I pray and request you to look in to the case and give me justice.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Place: Pune

SUBJECT: TRUTH OF AGNI MISSILE PROGRAMME

                      अग्नि मिसाइल कार्यक्रम की सच्चाई

Hon’ble Sir,

Sir, country thanks to your decision to revamp DRDO, it is requested to weed out all incompetent scientists who are sitting in top management without contributing a single product in national mission

With regards, I would like to bring the truth of AGNI missile programme of India under IGMDP. Some Scientist of DRDO who are not involved in key role the said project are making fake claims in media and interacting with media unauthorized manner violating conduct rules. DRDO is having its Directorate of Public Interface (DPI) and Shri Ravi Kumar Gupta, Director, Directorate of Public Interface is the only authorized officer in DRDO to issue any press release of DRDO and interaction with media. There is no gazette notification of MOD is available in respect of Sh Ravi Gupta as official spoke person of DRDO,MOD.

You can understand the frustration of senior scientists of DRDO who are facing such kind of discrimination where his contributions have been ignored by Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO, SA to RM and Secretary, DRD and credit of the work has been given to mediocre scientist. These scientist got promotions, appointment as Director, fame in media & public, awards and achieving a good positions in Government establishment based on fake claims, media hype and support of Shri Avinash Chander. It is astonishing facts that how these fake claims of scientist being approved and acknowledged by their Director, DG & Peer Committee constituted for promotion in senior position and appointment as Director.

Shi Avinash Chander has been given enormous administrative and financial power by Government of India and he is holding three posts simultaneously which is totally unjustified. The practice of misuse of power & post for personal gain by SA to RM is not new and DRDO is full of such examples. The appointments of DGR&D, DRDO, SA to RM and Secretary, DRD are politically motivated and real Scientists never get appointments as DRDO Chief.

This case is regarding fake claim in media, creating media hype in her favour by influencing media to write false article on her and award her imaginary titles by Ms. Tessy Thomas, Outstanding Scientist & Scientist ‘H’.

Before mentioning the full facts of the case, I would like to highlight the history of AGNI Missile Programme in brief.

  1. Realizing the importance of guided missile weapon systems in the modern warfare, a Special Weapon Development Team (SWDT) was formed in 1958. This team was later expanded into DRDL, a full-fledged laboratory in June 1961 at the campus of Defence Science Centre, Delhi. The laboratory was moved to Hyderabad in Feb’ 1962, from where starts the story of guided missiles in India.
  2. In 1972, Project Devil, a medium range Surface-to-Surface Missile was initiated. A large number of infrastructure and test facilities were established during this period. The main facilities established during this period included Aerodynamic, Structural and Environmental test facilities, Liquid and Solid propulsion facilities; fabrication and engineering facilities; Control, Guidance, FRP, Rubber and computer centres, ground and flight instrumentation and on board power supplies development facilities. The development of components / systems for Project Devil formed the technology bricks for the future IGMDP Programme. 1982 onwards DRDL took a quantum jump by taking design and development of various types of missiles systems simultaneously leading them to limited series production under Integrated Guided Missiles Development Programme (IGMDP).Prithvi– a surface to surface missile system, Trishul– a quick reaction short range, surface to air missile system, Nag– a third generation anti-tank missile system and Akash– a medium range, surface to air missile system, besides Agni– a technology demonstrator were taken up under the Programme.
  3. In order to meet the growing demands of development, integration, testing and quality assurance, three establishments namely Research Center Imarat (RCI), Composite Products Development Centre (CPDC), and Interim Test Range (ITR) came out under the parenthood of DRDL and a separate qualification agency Missile Systems Quality Assurance Agency (MSQAA) were established during this period. Later these establishments acquired independent status. In the year 1999 another laboratory called ‘Advanced System Laboratory’ was carved out of DRDL to meet the specific requirements of long range systems. This group of laboratories is now called Missile Complex. [DRDL information from DRDO website]
  4. APJ Abdul Kalam joined DRDO as Director, DRDL in 1982 and in the year 1983 IGMDP was sanctioned by Smt Indira Gandhi. Under this programme it was decided to develop five missiles with names Agni, Prithvi, Akash, Nag and Trishul. Much prior to joining Dr. Kalam in DRDL, Hyderabad, DRDO was working on R&D of missiles with good infrastructure as stated above.
  5. Development Program’ (IGMDP).The IGMDP is one of India’s most successful defence research project, as all the missiles – Prithvi, Akash, Trishul, Nag, Agni – have been successfully tested and inducted by the Indian armed forces.IGMDP team formed a consortium of DRDO laboratories, industries and academic institutions to build these sub-systems, components and materials.
  6. The Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) was a Ministry of Defence (India) program for the research and development of a comprehensive range of missiles. The program was managed by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Ordnance Factories Board in partnership with other Indian government research organisations. The project started in 1983 and ended in 2008 after these strategic missiles were successfully developed. The last major missile developed under the program was the Agni 3 intermediate-range ballistic missile which was successfully tested on 9 July 2007. On 8 January 2008, the DRDO formally announced the successful completion of the IGMDP.

FATHER OF INDIA’ AGNI MISSILEPROGRAMME – SHRI RAM NARAIN AGARWAL

  1. Shri Ram Narain Agarwal, Padam Sri (1990), Padam Bhushan (2000)is eminent missile scientist and an aerospace engineer of India known as “Father of AGNI”series of surface to surface missilesprogramme of India. Even before joining of Dr. Kalam as Director, DRDL in 1982, Shri R. N. Agarwal he was working on technology development for missiles that were later on used in Agni missilesand he was as Head of Aerodynamics Test Facility Group in DRDL, Hyderabad. His group was then engaged in building a supersonic wind tunnel and high-altitude test facility for high-enthalpy tests. Project report on the re-entry test vehicle for re-entry technology and also for setting up the high-altitude test facility was prepared by Shri R.N. Agarwal.[Source: Article: Missile Technology –A success story Volume 22 – Issue 20, Sep. 24 – Oct. 07, 2005]
  2. Shri Ram Narain Agarwal has worked as Program Director (AGNI) since 1983 to 2005 and as Director Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL), Hyderabad. DRDO, Agni missile project Chief Shri R.N. Agarwal retires after 22 years working as Programme Director of Agni Project on 31 July 2005. He was recipient of DRDO’s Lifetime Achievement Award “for pioneering the development and establishment of long-range missiles systems” in the year 2004. He was fondly called as `Agni’ Agarwal’ in India’s missile circles. He has been involved from day one in this most ambitious missile project Agni, which gets international attention every time a new development is announced.The importance of Shri R.N. Agarwal in Agni  Programme can be analysed as even after eligibility & seniority for Chief Controller at DRDO HQ , Ministry of Defence did not shifted him to DRDO HQ from ASL, Hyderabad. His was name was considered for SA to RM but despite being Programme Director and having seniority, his junior Shri M. Natrajan piped him and Shri M. Natrajan was  appointed as SA to RM in the year 2004. This creates lot of frustration in missile scientist of DRDO.
  3. Shri R.N. Agarwal hails from Jaipur, Rajasthan, where he had his early education. After graduation, he joined the Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) at Chromepet, Chennai, for his post-graduate course in Aeronautical Engineering. After passing out from MIT, he completed his Master of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He has won several awards. They include Padma Sri (1990) and Padma Bhushan (2000); the Dr. Biren Roy Space Science Award (1990); the DRDO Technology Leadership Award (1998); the Chandrasekhara Saraswati National Eminence Award for Science (2000) and theDRDO Lifetime Achievement Award (2004).
  4. In July 1983, when Indira Gandhi launched the IGMDP, Shri Agarwal wasappointed as Project Director for Agni. Within six years, the Agni-Technology Demonstrator project team was ready with the missile for its maiden flight. But the flight had to be postponed twice – first on April 20, 1989, and then on May 1, 1989. The missile finally soared into the sky from the Interim Test Range at Chandipur-on-Sea, near Balasore, Orissa, on May 22, 1989. The country had looked forward to the launch of this intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM).
  5. Shri R. N. Agarwal, former Director, Advanced System Laboratory and former Program Director of Agni missile was considered to be the real architect behind the successful design of Agni Missile. Kalam himself credited in his autobiography “Wings of Fire” (अग्निकी उड़ान) the development of Agni missile to Shri Ram Narayan Agarwal, an alumnus of MIT.DRDO’s, Agni missile project Chief R.N. Agarwal retires on 31 July 2005 after his contribution in Agni from 1983-2005 for 22 years.
  6. The controversy that surrounds Kalam’s role as “Missile Man” and in 2008, Indian media questioned his claims over his inventions such as missiles, while working in a classified missile programme. Kalam took the credit of inventing the Agni, Prithvi, and Aakash missile system. All of these were developed, researched and designed by other scientists whereas Kalam was involved in getting the funds and other logistic tasks. As a director of DRDL, Kalam named all these missiles and got all the fame. Shri R. N. Agarwal, former Director, Advanced System Laboratory and former Program Director of Agni missile was considered to be the real architect behind the successful design of Agni Missile.

      However, Kalam  in his own Biography “wings of Fire”, Dr.Kalam has given the credit of “Agni” development to Shri Ram Narayan Agarwal. For the Prithvi Missile project he has named Col VJ Sundaram as the brain behind this project, for Trishul Missile he gave the credit to Cmdr SR Mohan.

  1. Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL) was established in the year 2001 as a consequence of restructuring of the missile laboratories and the missile programs. Advanced Systems Laboratory is responsible for design, development and induction of long range ‘AGNI’ ballistic missiles and development of associated technologies and facilities. Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL) does research and development on motors, jet vanes and structures for launch vehicles and missiles and Solid Propellant (missile fuel) in Agni Missiles was developed at High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune of DRDO.
  2. The three AGNI re-entry technology demonstrators developed and test fired during 1985 to 1992 gave the impetus to design, develop and induct a series of long range missile systems of AGNI class(A1, A2, A3). AGNI I & AGNI II have completed the development flights and are being inducted in the Services. The long range AGNI III is under development and the hardware is under qualification for the first development flight In addition to the AGNI program, ASL is working on many other Technology Development (TD), Mission Mode (MM) and infrastructure projects for LCA and other systems. There are about 240 Scientists & Officers and 250 Staff working in the LabVarious DRDO Lab/Estt and about 40 public sector and private sector are involved with ASL in development of AGNI series of missiles. The percentage of indigenous parts used in missiles of Agni series is still not known to anybody.
  3. After retirement of Shri R.N. Agarwal, as Director, ASL on 31 July 2005, Shri Avinash Chander was appointed as Director, ASL. In the June 2011 Dr. V.G. Sekaran was appointed as Director of ASL.He served as Director, ASL from June 2011 to June 2013. Shri K. Jayaraman was Director, ASL from 13 June 2013 to 30 June 2014.Shri Avinash Chander was appointed as CCR&D(MSS) in 2011 and he was Programme Director of Agni till 31 May 2013. Later on Dr. VG Sekaran was appointed as CCR&D (MSS) in June 2013 and he is Programme Director of Agni. V G Sekaran has taken over as Director General – Missiles and Strategic Systems (MSS)with effect from 02 Sep 2013.
  4. The first successful test flight took place on May 22, 1989, when Rajiv Gandhi was the Prime Minister. The ASL is focussed on re-entry technology, carbon composites, CNT and Agni.The Agni-I, Agni-II and Agni-III missiles were developed under the IGMDP. (The DRDO formally announced the successful completion of the IGMDP after the third test of Agni-III on 7 May 2008.Agni III is a product of the Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL), Hyderabad, which is a unit of DRDO. The Project Director was Dr. V.G. Sekaran and ASL Director Avinash Chander was the Programme Director of this mission.AGNI-IV
  5. India Launches new Generation Strategic missile AGNI-IV on15 November 2011. It is a two-stage missile powered by solid propellant. It is 20 meters tall and has a launch weight of 17 tonnes. Ms Tessy Thomas was Project Director (Mission) for Agni- IV. Successful flight testing of AGNI-IVwas carried out by DRDO on19 September 2012.Ms Tessy Thomas was Project Director of Agni-IV.INDIA Successfully test fires AGNI-IV on20th January 2014. Ms Tessy Thomas was Project Director of AGNI-IV.[Press release of PIB & DRDO is enclosed].AGNI-V
  6. A new missile Agni-V with 5,000 km range and MIRV is being developed and was tested on19 April 2012. Agni-V shares the similar design as Agni-III with an extra stage added to further increase the range by 1500 km.First test launch of Agni-V was successfully done on 19 April 2012. Dr. R.K. Gupta was Project Director for AGNI-V. The second test launch of AGNI-V was successfully done on 15 September 2013 at 08:43 am IST from Wheeler Island off the Orissa coast. Dr. R.K. Gupta, Outstanding Scientist is Project Director of AGNI-V. The next test launch of Agni-V missile scheduled to be carried out in 2014 is to be of canisterized version.[Press release of DRDO is enclosed].
  7. R.K. Gupta, Scientist ‘H’ & Outstanding Scientist was Project Director of AGNI –V in the year 2012 and 2013 at time of both the successful launch of AGNI-V on 19 April 2012 and 15 September 2013 and Ms. Tessy Thomas was not project Director of AGNI-V but Ms. Tessy Thomas told to media that she was Project Director of Agni V and media make a fake hype in favour of Ms. Tessy Thomas with motivated interest and gave her fake titles like Missile Woman & Agniputri. Ms Tessy Thomas is Project Director of AGNI-V.
  8. Labs, Public Sector and Private Sector involved in Agni Programme
  9.  Development of the anti-ballistic missile system Agni began in 1999. Around 40 public and private companies were involved in the development of the systems. They include Bharat Electronics Ltd and Bharat Dynamics Ltd, Astra Microwave, ASL, Larsen & Toubro, Vem Technologies Private Limited and KelTech. Development of the LRTR and MFCR (Multi-function Fire Control Radar) was led by Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE). Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) – Manufactures the missile and also has an associated R&D lab. Solid propellant used in Agni V is solid HTPB, which has been developed by HEMRL. Besides DRDO Labs DRDL, RCI, VRDE, LRDE, HEMRL, ITR & TBRL are involved in development of missiles under AGNI Programme.
  10. Dr (Ms) Tessy Thomas, Outstanding Scientist/Scientist ‘H’ was appointed as Director, ASL, Hyderabad wef 25 July 2014. The competent authority has approved the appointment of Dr (Ms) Tessy Thomas, Outstanding Scientist/ Sc ‘H’ as Director, ASL, Hyderabad with immediate effect. Date of Order is 25 Jul 2014.
  11. On 13 June 2013, Shri K. Jayaraman, a senior scientist, who was instrumental in the development of home-grown CRMC (Composite Rocket Motor Casing) technology for strategic systems, took over as the new director of Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL).
  12. INFLUENCE AND CONTACTS WITH MEDIA BY MS TESSY THOMAS
  13.  After first launch of AGNI-V on 19 April 2012, The Indian Express published an article “In its moment of celebration, DRDO leaves out ‘Agni putri’“. Copy Enclosed. This news published on website of Indian Express at 23:41 hrs on 19 April 2012. The said article was having objections on DRDO Press Release dated 19 April 2012 in which Ms Tessy Thomas name was missing. Regarding this query Shri Ravi Kumar Gupta, director of public interface, DRDO, New Delhi, said Tessy Thomas was the director for Agni-IV. “Dr R K Gupta is the project director of Agni-V and Avinash Chander is the overall programme director,’’ he said. When asked why her name was left out, Gupta did not comment. When contacted, Agni Programme Director Chander said: “Tessy Thomas played a major role in the success of Agni-V. She was in charge of mission design and guidance systems and she was there all through. She was and still is the project director of Agni-IV but Dr R K Gupta is the project director of Agni-V. She was there at the launch today and she is a part of the team”.It establishes that Ms. Tessy Thomas influenced the media for publishing fake claims in her favour while she was not Project Director of AGNI-V but still she wants the credit of AGNI-V.
  14. Dr V.G. Sekaran, Distinguished Scientist and Director, Advanced Systems Laboratory has been appointed as Chief Controller R&D (Missiles & Strategic Systems) and Programme Director, AGNI w.e.f. 03 June 2013. He was appointed as DG (MSS) wef 02 September 2013.

agni ka sach table 2

 

DRDL, RCI and ASL are working on R&D of Missiles in DRDO. Tessy Thomas is junior most Scientist out of all Outstanding Scientists posted in three labs of DRDO viz DRDL, RCI and ASL of DRDO. Shri K. Jayaraman was transferred from post of Director, ASL to Director, DRDL to create a vacancy of Director, ASL while such kind of practice never took place in ASL or any other Lab/Estt. of DRDO. Ignoring ten senior and more eligible Scientist then Tessy Thomas, why Shri Avinash Chander appointed Ms. Tessy Thomas as Director, ASL? Is it another story of nepotism by Shri Avinash Chander, the Guru-Shisya story of DRDO in Guru paid shisya dakhina?

Ms. Tessy Thomas worked with Avinash Chander on Guidance Systems in DRDL and ASL, Hyderabad. In media Shri Avinash Chander told that Ms Tessy Thomas is my pupil and Ms. Tessy Thomas told to media that she is student of Shri Avinash Chander. It appears that Guru Avinash Chander gave his blessings to her student Tessy Thomas by recruitment of her husband as Scientist ‘G’ and appointment of her husband Mr. S.K. Patel asDirector, QRS and appointed her as Director ASL ignoring contributions & seniority of several senior Scientists of DRDO.

FAKE CLAIMS BY MS. TESSY THOMAS- THE AGNIPUTRI & MISSILE WOMAN

  • She claimed herself as Project Directorof AGNI-V two times in 2012 & 2013 – In fact Programme Director of AGNI-V was Dr. R.K. Gupta not Tessy Thomas. She is Project Director of AGNI-IV.
  • Went in media when her name was not in Press Release of DRDO dated 19 April 2012 for AGNI-V. [Indian Express- 19 April 2012]
  • Try to associate herself with Dr. Kalam by calling him as Guru but on other hand she accepted that she is student of Shri Avinash Chander. Dr. Kalam worked in DRDL, Hyderabad as Director from 1982 to 1992. Ms Tessy Thomas joined DRDL in 1988 and she was posted with Shri Avinash Chander.
  • SolidPropellantsused in AGNI –V were developed by HEMRL, Pune but she claimed in media that she developed Solid Propellants for AGNI-V.
  • Managed Media to give title “AGNIPUTRI’ and ‘MISSILE WOMAN’,

Sir, it is requested kindly encourage and protect the whistle blowers of DRDO, because the DRDO top management doing their best to harass the honest scientists who are raising their voice against corruption like –

Sh. D. Muthuraja, Scientist ‘E’ from R&D Eng, Pune transferred to Nasik for just harass him and he is sitting their without work. He raised voice against Sh Guru Prasad, Director R&D Eng, Pune for diverting government funds and man power to making Silver Rath for temple.

Now the honorable MP Sh Hemant Tukaram Godse, Nashik & Dr. Dharam Vira Gandhi, Patiala  asked questions regarding the Silver Rath adventure of Sh Guru Prasad, Director R&D Eng, DRDO

Sh Naveen Prakash Gupta, Scientist ‘C’, DMSRDE, Kanpur also raised corruption various corruption issues of Dr. A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE. There are many cases of corruption allegations with documentary evidences are pending against Dr. A K Saxena. Sh Avinash Chander, Ex SA to RM also made to fact finding committees but only GOD knows what happened to facts finding of two committees. The DRDO top management specially the DOP, Dr A K Singh, is trying to his best to harass Sh Naveen Prakash Gupta by misinterpreting government rules. Sh Naveen Prakash Gupta is also transferred to Defence Lab, Tezpur a life science lab where there is no work for Sh Naveen Prakash Gupta as he is computer science background.

Dr. Gausal Khan, Scientist ‘D’ is a victim of Dr Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS and sister of Dr A K Singh, DOP, both duo harassing Dr Khan vindictively and now Dr Khan who came from USA to serve the country was again thinking to go back to USA, because now his 24 hrs utilizing to manage the court/Minority commission/police etc.

There are still lot of manipulations are going on in the name of consultancy, contracts, chairs, fellowship, IDST etc. DRDO is exploiting the technical manpower in the name of contract and other hand recruiting their incompetent, ineligible wards from their own recruitment center RAC/CEPTAM without any fear.

Hon’ble Shri Narendra Modi,
Prime Minister,
PMO, South Block,
New Delhi-110011

SUBJECT:   Request for cancellation Post Retirement Contractual Appointment of Sh Avinash Chander as DG, DRDO to save the premier organization from the clutches of corrupt and incompetents officials.  

Sir,

Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO, SA to RM and Secretary, DRD is retiring on 28 November 2014 at age of 64 after getting two unconstitutional & unrequired extensions of two-two years.

As a matter of fact and requirement under FR & SR, a retired Government servant cannot be appointed as Head of the Organisation with all administrative and financial powers after his retirement on contract. There is provision of appointing retired Government servant on need basis following with due prescribed procedure under rules keeping in view of transparency and open opportunity for all eligible persons.

DRDO is very prestigious organisation  for Defence related indigenous R&D with budget of Rs. 15283 crore for FY 2014-2015 but what is fate of 90% + projects of DRDO, Government, media and public knows very well.

DRDO is better known as “Delay Research & Derailed Organisation” and you are committed to revamp DRDO. The whole nation especially the scientific community appreciated your steps and measures taken for DRDO in present and planned for future.

Appointment of Hon’ble Manohar Parrikar, an eminent engineer from IIT as Defence Minister by you was very much appreciated by nation, media and scientific community.

That will definitely help overhauling and revamping of DRDO by eradication of corruption from DRDO, maintain accountability and transparency in DRDO.

The integrity and moral fibre are two main attributes of Government servant but unfortunately Shri Avinash Chander could not maintain these two in his tenure from 31st May 2013 to 28 Nov 2014 as DG, DRDO, SA to RM and Secretary, DRD which is very much evident from the various complaints pending against him before PMO and Cabinet Secretariat.

In his tenure, number of court cases increases in many fold,  Sh Chander set example to promoting and recruiting incompetents (Ms Tesy Thomas promotion to Sc H and her husband CMDR S K Patel‘s appointment as Sc G and after few days he was made Director, QRS). This act follows discontentment among the senior scientists of DRDO.

The number of SC/ST and minorities complaints increased.

Not able to manage media instead of two crores budget for Public Interface.

There was not a single mentionable product/technology delivered instead Sh Chander tried to show the old products again like EDK the MoU was already signed by DRDO in 2012, Chander spends crores of rupees for that in US visit for unacceptable technology, no evidence are of reorganizations of said product internationally because there are  numerous advance technologies are available.

Secondly, the Bio digester, DRDO three times earlier dedicated this to nation and interestingly it is not as said by DRDO spin off technology it is mere only gobar gas plant in the name of innovation of DRDO the said microbes are already found in cow dunk.  One senior scientist from DRDO itself already exposes this propaganda of DRDO to CVC

The contractual appointment after retirement has also been challenged by some citizens before Government and media also highlighted the pro & cons of this matter.

Therefore, it is requested to Hon’ble Sir to cancel the post retirement contractual appointment of Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO, SA to RM and Secretary, DRD before 30th November, the date of his retirement and not continue him further in DRDO in interest of nation and scientists of DRDO.

Subject : Request to   utilized scientific potential of Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP, DRDO HQ to Lab/Estt under Life Sciences Cluster 

Hon’ble Sir,

Human Resource is an asset of an organisation and proper utilisation and deployment of its HR/Manpower is challenging job for an organisation especially on DRDO which holding very significant responsibility for the nation. In the past several years   DRDO cannot meet its target well within time and seeking extensions in PDC again & again in several major projects of national significance. This drawback of DRDO has been noticed by Hon’ble Ex-PM Dr. Manmohan Singh, Ex- Defence Minister Shri A.K. Antony, CAG, CGDA, Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence (15th Lok Sabha). This has been also noticed and criticised by you in DRDO Award Function on 20th August 2014 by saying “Chalta Hai wala attitude nahin chalega“.

Poor HR planning and deployment of scientists in various Lab/Estt of DRDO is major reason for not delivering the products and timely completion of project. Almost each and every lab/Estt all sundry work (Admin/Stores/Security/MTO/Library/works/ conservancy etc) are managed by qualified scientist and technical officials (more than 15% of total strength of DRDO) Simultaneously they are drawing all perks which is provided towards incentive in the name of scientific encouragement and also enjoying flexible complementary scheme on promotions which is also strictly for those who dedicatedly involve in scientific and technical assignments.

HR of DRDO comes under CCR&D (HR) which consisted of DOP, DHRD, RAC, CEPTAM, DESIDOC, ITM, MILIT, DIAT, DPI and RTI Cell. Presently Dr. G. Malakondiah, Distinguished Scientist is holding the charge of CCR&D (HR) and he was convicted by Madras High Court for imprisonment of three weeks in case of contempt of court this the highest example of ignorance of constitutions provision.

One such example of poor HR planning of DRDO is of Dr. A.K. Singh, Director, Directorate of Personnel, DRDO HQ, New Delhi. Dr. A.K.Singh, Scientist ‘G’ is great Nuclear Medicine scientist of India with five patents granted, fourteen patents filed, one copy right and more than fifty publications in international & national journals.Bio-Data of Dr. A.K. Singh is annexed.

As a matter of fact, despite having so many scientific contributions in area of Nuclear Medicines which is primarily used for treatment of cancer, brain tumours and complex diseases.

Dr. A.K. Singh was basically recruited for projects of DRDO in its New Delhi based unique laboratory working in Nuclear Medicine, Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS). He worked in INMAS till the year 2004 but all of sudden he was transferred in DRDO HQ and assigned non-technical clerical assignments like Staff Officer to CCR&D.

Since the year 2004, the great Nuclear Medicine scientist is working non-scientific work like Director, CEPTAM, Director, DHRD and presently DOP. The work assigned to Dr. A.K. Singh is of administrative nature for which DRDO is having it’s another HR cadre known as administrative cadre and from this cadre manpower should be appointed in DOP.

Being a bonafide life science scientist, Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP not having any expertise in field of HR, therefore, he made several wrong decisions due to which DRDO faces lot of embarrassment and bad fame in media, it also affected various officials of DRDO who are facing several court cases in various courts all over India, even 15th October 2014 he received notice from CAT Delhi for his misadventure towards a senior scientist who belong to minority.  This created lot of expenditure in term of fees to lawyers, TA/DA to attend court cases and cause of derailing scientific research tempo of DRDO.

Government of India is paying more than Rupees twenty lakhs to Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP for his non-productive and non-scientific work that can be carried out by any of the officer of Joint Director/Additional Director of DRDO from the admin cadre. DRDO wasting poor tax payers money.

Dr. A.K. Sigh is great Nuclear Medicine Scientist which is rare in DRDO. The discipline of Dr. A.K. Singh is from Life Sciences so proper utilization of his potential to  posted him in Laboratory/ Establishment of DRDO under Life Sciences Cluster so he can contribute more in the national interest.

There are nine (09) Lab/Estt under Life Sciences Cluster of DRDO spread over all India. These are DEBEL, DIPAS, DIPR, INMAS, DRL, DIBER, DFRL, DIHAR & DRDE. Life sciences scientists are 120+ out of 7500 total DRDO scientist’s strength so proper utilization of these 9 labs can only possible when all life science scientists dedicatedly posted in Life Sciences Cluster of DRDO not in HR related Corporate Directorate. Dr A K Singh qualified life science scientist but he convert his field into technical services in the official records while as per his biodata he is fit for life sciences activities.

Sir you know the maxim “wrong shoe in right leg- “. Similar is the case of Dr. A.K. Singh who has been wrongly posted in HR assignments of DRDO while he is great Nuclear Medicine scientist with international fame scientific contributions in Nuclear Medicine. He is very much required in Lab/Estt of DRDO that are working in specialization of Dr. A.K. Singh like Defence Research Laboratory, Tezpur, Defence Research & Development Establishment, Gwalior, DEBEL, Bangalore and INMAS, New Delhi. Since Dr. A.K. Singh had already worked in INMAS, New Delhi for more than 16 years and his experience was bitter at INMAS thereby he was expelled from projects and scientific assignments at INMAS, New Delhi. Therefore the ,most suitable  work places for getting output from his scientific knowledge and experience is DRL, Tezpur, DRDE, Gwalior and DEBEL, Bangalore.

Keeping in view of the facts stated above, to save public revenue and streamline HR of DRDO, it is very much required that scientists of the DRDO having educational qualification and experiences in life sciences should be posted in Lab/Estt under Life Sciences Cluster of DRDO.

Therefore I kindly and earnestly request you to start “operation clean- Swachta Abhiyan” in DRDO by transferring Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP from DRDO HQ to any of the Life Sciences Cluster Lab/Estt like DRL, Tezpur, DRDE, Gwalior or DEBEL, Bangalore so that poor & dirty  HR of DRDO may be rich & clean.

CORRUPTION FREE DRDO- REAL TRIBUTE TO “SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN”

Leave a comment

Our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given an enthusiastic and passionate call for ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ to realise Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of cleanliness, urging everyone to devote minimum two hours every week towards cleanliness. Needless to say that the “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” is the crying need, as India, the otherwise recognized religious and spiritual capital of the world is also well-known as the filthiest country on the globe. ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ is a mass movement to realize Gandhi’s visualization of clean India by 150th Birth Anniversary on 2nd October 2019. The Mahatma’s visualisation of cleanliness was three-pronged – a clean mind, a clean body and clean surroundings. Holding that ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness’, he emphatically wrote, “We can no more gain God’s blessing with an unclean body than with an unclean mind. A clean body cannot reside in an unclean city”. (Young India 19/11/1925) An old proverb says, “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” This means that cleanliness comes next to godliness in im­portance.The whole statement means cleanliness takes a common man to the proximity of God. This journey starts from cleanliness of clothes, body and surroundings. Everything around us should be clean and beautiful. For which, Addison says “Beauty produces love, but cleanliness preserves it”. The very famous quote of our “Father of Nation” is “I WILL NOT LET ANYONE WALK THROUGH MY MIND WITH THEIR DIRTY FEET”. Then, there is the cleanliness of mind. Mind should be clear off from all the feelings of hatred, harm and haram (sinful). Buddha’s eight fold path emphasized much in the cleanliness of mind. When the dirt of sinfulness is obliterated from the screen of mind, noble, lovable and pious actions come into action. Mahatma Gandhi also told that “Cleanliness of mind and body is the first step in education”. Means  शिक्षा का पहला चरण दिमाग और शरीर की सफार्इ है. DRDO is spending crores of rupees onEnvironmental Control Hygiene Maintenance Services (ECHMS) contract. For example the open tender for DMSRDE, Kanpur dated 01 September 2014 is having an estimated cost of Rs. Twenty two Lakhs Fifty Thousand and Open tender for ADE, Bangalore dated 16-09-2014 is having an estimated cost of Rs. One Crore. So DRDO top management should not worried about cleanliness of roads, residential complexes, offices, work places, parks/gardens and toilets etc. DRDO officials needs cleanliness of mind based on principles of Mahatma Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi that will make DRDO corruption free and that will be true homage to Mahatma Gandhi Ji  and real contribution in Prime Minister “Clean India Mission”.

2nd October – Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti

Mahatma Gandhi Vision – Gandhi Ji’s loves Harijan & weaker section of society DRDO Acts – Harass SC/ST and minorities by all means to giving them base less Charge sheets, Deprive with promotions, awards and other benefits. The number of representations to grievances cell, SC/ST commission and CAT cases and minorities commissions are shows the clear picture of pathetic DRDO HR. The Madras high court on 25th September 2014 awarded a three-week jail term to the DRDO two so called top scientists for contempt of court Dr G Malakondaiah, CC R&D, DRDO and Padam Vibhusan Dr V K Saraswat, Ex DG, DRDO for harassing a minority individual Sh. S Joseph Raj shows the height of high  egoism prevailing in top DRDO officials.  vks-times-of-India

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.

Regards
