DRDO develops CO filters for submarines

Leave a comment

Snehlata Shrivastav,TNN | Sep 28, 2014, 04.46 AM IST
Nagpur: Like any automobile, submarines generate a lot of harmful gases like carbon-mono-oxide (CO). India was importing special room filters for submarines which could absorb CO as well as other gases. To ensure safety of the Naval staff, the Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO) has not only developed its own CO filters called ‘CFKIII room filters’ but also room filters that can absorb over 40 different gases, at almost one fifth of the imported cost.

The information on CO filter is on display at the three-day AXIS technical festival organized by students of the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT). In fact, India is the first country to develop a CO filter which can work for indefinite period even in heavy moisture conditions as compared to the Russian filter costing about Rs1 lakh.

On inquiring about the filter, sources in DRDO headquarters told TOI that the organization has developed other types of room filters too which can prevent over 40 harmful gases including hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, stibine, hydrogen cyanide, acrolein. These filters need to be changed after 45 days and one ship needs at least 14 different filters.

DRDO Gwalior laboratory has developed many equipment and techniques which can detect, protect and decontaminate the chemical warfare agents Sarin, Soman and Tabun. A filter paper like strip attached to any human body part changes into various colours that help in detecting the type of chemical. This lab has also developed a toe-to-head carbon coated suit and a mask which filters everything else and allows only oxygen to go in.

Another DRDO lab, Centre for Fire Explosives and Environment Safety in Delhi, has recently developed a light weight ‘fire proximity suit’ which has five layers of protective material. It has also developed an Emergency Escape Chute (EEC) which can take a load up to 4 to 5 tonne and can be used effectively for evacuating people from high rise buildings, oil rig platforms and can be used together with auto-inflatable raft. The lab is yet to transfer the technology to a manufacturer.

The Solid State Physics Laboratory of DRDO in Delhi has made an indigenous alternative hand held equipment to highly expensive imported one. Since it can detect chemical warfare agents effectively, it is being called as e-nasika or-e-nose which can sniff any chemical. It uses ‘surface acoustic wave’ or SAW sensors. It will be manufactured by Bharat Electricals Limited in Pune. Against the imported version costing Rs20 lakh, this one costs just Rs5 lakh.

Ten key DRDO projects delayed: Arun Jaitley

Leave a comment

PTI | Jul 18, 2014, 02.44 PM IST

NEW DELHI: Ten major projects of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), including the LCA Tejas aircraft and several key missile programmes, have been delayed due to various reasons, Lok Sabha was informed on Friday.

Giving details of DRDO’s delayed projects, defence minister Arun Jaitley said during Question Hour that “corrective/ remedial” measures are being taken to address the issue of delays.

Besides Light Combat Aircraft, other delayed projects include Naval Light Combat Aircraft, Aero Engine Kaveri, Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft and Long Range Surface-to-Air Missile.

The Air-to-Air Missile Astra, Advanced Light Weight Torpedo, Dual Colour Missile Approach Warning System for Fighter Aircraft, among others, have also been delayed, the minister said.

On remedial measures to complete the projects, Jaitley said that consortium approach is being used for design, development and fabrication of critical components.

According to him, synergy and better co-ordination were being promoted among user services, DRDO and production agencies through cluster meetings.

Jaitley also said the general impression that DRDO is lagging behind and that government is not providing enough support “may not be very accurate”.

“It is not fair to say that activities of DRDO have been curtailed by paucity of funds,” he said.

On proposal to allow 49 per cent foreign direct investment in the defence sector, Jaitley said the objective is to bring in best technologies into the country.

The government has decided that now it would be “Indian majority controlled” and it will bring the best technologies in the defence sector, the minister said.

The country has to come out of the situation where India is the largest buyer of defence equipment and ensure that “we have domestic capacity within India”, he noted.

“Government is making all efforts to grant Performance Related Incentive Scheme (PRIS) to DRDO scientists on par with scientists of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO),” Jaitley added.

Monday, 7 July 2014 – 10:07am IST | Place: New Delhi | Agency: DNA

A senior scientist in the country’s premier defence research organisation DRDO, who has highlighted various irregularities and malpractices in the organisation, has served legal notice to the DRDO chief Avinash Chander for allegedly defaming him for taking a stand against corruption.avinashchander

Navin Prakash Gupta, a computer scientist working the Kanpur-based laboratory of DRDO, last month was transferred from Kanpur to Tezpur following his series of complaints to Central Vigilance Commission and the defence minister highlighting various irregularities in the department.

Following the transfer order, Gupta moved the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) for seeking stay on his transfer orders. In reply to his petition in CAT, the DRDO said, “Scientist NP Gupta has been vitiating the atmosphere in DMSRDE through his irresponsible behaviour and undesirable activities.”

Denying this, Gupta told dna over phone from Kanpur, “The allegation is full of imputation. There is no enquiry against me. Even no show cause notice was served to me in my entire career of 21 years. I am being harassed because I raised voice against corruption.” Gupta claimed that his transfer is laced with vengeance and motivated. Gupta has made at least 12 complaints to the corruption watchdog CVC including irregularities in procurement of chemicals and fabrics in the Kanpur-based DMSRDE (Defence Materials and Stores Research and Development Establishment (DMSRDE) laboratory. And CVC is conducting probe into his allegations and forwarded to the ministry of defence for detailed inquiry. “I have written about large scale malpractices and irregularities in procurement for the laboratory. Besides irregularities in procurements, top officials of the laboratory were giving out construction contracts worth lakhs of rupees to private vendors and individuals with aim to benefit them by violating all rules and regulations,” Gupta added.

When contacted Drdo spokesperson claimed that conduct of Gupta was not upto the mark over the years. “I could only say that conduct of Navin Gupta was not in order. Beyond this, we do not want to comment on the issue as it is pending in the court,” DRDO official said.

Meanwhile, Navin Gupta has decided to file a criminal defamation case against DRDO chief and head of directorate of personnel Dr AK Singh. “They have not replied to my notice. And now I’m going to file a criminal defamation case on them,” Gupta added.

His key complaints:
Irregularities in Rs 2 crore procurement of chemicals for DMSRDE
Irregularities in Rs 1.5 crore procurement of Dyneema Fabric
Irregularities Rs 46 lakh DMSRDE fume hood procurement
Rs 15 lakh procurement of scientific and technical books
Rs 2 crore procurement of of polydimathylsilane for Kanpur lab
Corruption in procurement of anti-virus of around Rs 4 lakh

DRDO senior scientists feel that DRDO Admin cadre is the biggest hurdle in their day to day manipulations

1 Comment

In DRDO Directors’ Conference 2010, above mentioned view was unopposed accepted by almost all top brasses of DRDO.

Then to defy DOPT guidelines of FCS (Flexible Complementing Scheme) DRDO started to assign scientists, the admin allied and other non technical jobs as full time. Like Administration, Stores, Library, Conservancy, Works, Security, Motor Transport, etc.

As a result, now you see the chaos created by these incompetent scientists everywhere in DRDO. The number of court cases increased multifold. More than hundreds cases are running in various judiciary bodies all over the India. It can be verified by the amount spending by DRDO after 2010 onward.

Now scientists are running after these non scientific assignments because they witnessed in last several  years the promotion jumps of scientists who are engaged in sundry work.

Interestingly, senior scientists who enjoyed these non scientific assignments are also able to pitch their after retirement assignments as consultants on contracts, etc. or members/chairman post of various committees where there are no age limits boundaries.

Recently, scientists also established one more area in the recruitment of admin assistant process for the interview board CEPTAM asked for admin rep. In LASTEC, Dr. A K Maini turned down the name of Sh. Prakash Singh, Senior Administrative Officer -II the single available official for required demand. Instead he sent the name of Ms. Sangeeta Talwar, ineligible for said interview board member as Admin Rep.

Second example that for the same recruitment of admin assistant process for the interview board, Jodhpur, CEPTAM asked for admin rep from DEAL Dehradun. The Director, DEAL, Sh. R C Agarwal proposed the name of his staff officer Sh. Vipin Kaushik, Scientist ‘F’ instead of Sh. K K Mishra, Joint Director, Administration.

There are several examples recently of Sh. Ashok Gupta, Technical Officer ‘C’ INMAS, DRDO who got deputation appointment of Senior Administrative Officer -I through UPSC in SSPL then shifted to DRDO Hqrs., DRDO. This foolish act shows DRDO situation is really very pitiable. How can a technical officer who is recruited for technical job avails the arbitration being a technical person got certified by Director, INMAS and concurrence by DRDO Hqrs that he did administrative /stores assignments.

Government of India has looked in to this DRDO rules manipulation game because these manipulations are a major cause of unproductiveness of this white elephant.

Alarming Situation in DRDO For HR Management

2 Comments
To                                                                                                         31st March 2014
Sh A K Antony,
Defence Minister,

New Delhi – 110011

Subject:  Alarming Situation in DRDO For HR Management

DRDO has established more than 52 Labs/Establishments across the country with an aim and object to provide reliable & sustainable warfare technologies to the defence forces.

In its pursuit to evade the frontline technology, DRDO encourages its employees and officials to pursue higher qualification and provides all possible incentives as per GOI rules and guidelines.

DRDO Hqrs/ top brasses however, misuses the GOI facilities and encourages the diploma/ degrees from unrecognized universities/institutes for their pet employees (Chamchas), largely the cases are from the universities which are recognized by the UGC/AICTE but the courses offered by these in the mode of distance education, where the study centers / franchises are not properly authorized by UGC/AICTE or Apex body. Most of the cases in DRDO, these Diploma /Degrees are managed fraudulently because it is observed that employee who claimed the diploma / degree not having proper marks sheets, not having proof of proper fee receipts, not having leave records as per exam date sheets, not having admit cards of centers/ and n numbers of ways to verify the degree/ diploma etc.

Surprisingly, you will be shocked to know that these diploma / degree holders have become senior scientists and in DRDO, almost 10 to 15% in total staff / Technical officers / scientists possess such diploma/ degrees etc.

The growing incompetency and failure of projects causes shift towards system engineering. Since 15 years the basic science or fundamental research work has vanished from DRDO objectives, because of improperly qualified workforce.

The person inducted as laborer/peon/security assistant or technician, subsequently via limited departmental competitive examination (LDCE) channel and with the fake/unrecognized diploma / degree become scientist. It is all because of DRDO having their own recruitment and assessment system that is RAC & CEPTAM.

Sir, you already noticed few top scientists of DRDO misused the autonomy given to DRDOyou’re your good office recommended to reexamine the recruitment procedure of scientist in DRDO and asked for CBI intervention vide Ref- Note at 45-55 ante and observations of JS & CVO at note 56 ante.

RTI reveals that DRDO having such employees/ officers who don’t have proper recognized diploma / degree but no action was taken on this issue by DRDO Hqrs till date. (Copy enclosed for ready reference.)

In RTI reply No.01/2091/P2014/0054 dated 12 March 2014 DRDO Hqrs informed that “it is stated that the cases for grant of Lump Sum Incentive are received from respective Labs/Estt in which it is certified that the higher qualifications and the institute are approved by the competent authority. On receipt of such confirmation, the cases are submitted to Ministry of Defence who process each and every cases and issue sanction for grant of Lump Sum Incentives after getting concurrence of the Integrated Finance. However, in case of any doubt regarding verification/ reorganization, the same is thoroughly examined before issuing the sanction. It is also stated here that the lump sum incentive is only one time to promote higher qualification among employees.” (Copy Enclosed for ready reference)

Sir, the astonishing fact of DRDO working is revealed by Director of Personal vide letter No DOP/01/03500/Lump sum/M01 dated March 2014 to all Director Lab/Estt/ Dte in Hq dated 11 March 2014 in Para – 1, line- 9 states that “Of late it has been notice that in most of the cases are taken up acquiring higher qualification, recognition of various courses and universities/ institutes by Competent Authority is not verified/ authenticated by Labs prior to sanction of permission. This non verification in the some cases results in award of degrees/ diplomas by Universities / Institutes not recognized by the competent recognizing authorities. Grant of incentives for such higher qualification becomes against the Rules”   (Copy enclosed for your ready reference.)

It is requested that suitable committee should be form under supervision of CVO, MoD to scrutinize the DRDO scientist, officials and staff’s education qualification records thoroughly, so the incompetent and illegally inducted persons can weed out.

DRDO already spends crores of rupees for digitizing HR records so it is not big task to scrutinize the DRDO’s 7000+ scientists, 25000 + officials and staff’s education qualification.
