Dear Ravind Please don’t occupy DRDO chair or Consultant post after your retirement

One comment was submitted by one of our visitor with above Headline –

It is true picture of all DRDO lab, Government already asked one question from DRDO in its 25 question query as following and same was circulated to all Labs

” The best talent is going to multinational and not joining DRDO because of certain reasons. DRDO is going only left over. Please furnish data for last 3 years on talented people joining from esteemed institute . (CC R&D HR)”

The following comment is specially important to our DRDO top management for introspection.

Submitted on 2014/11/19 at 4:23 pm

Ravind is as bad as projected here.

He had no vision but he ran out of time to realise it.

He was having no clarity to drive program and make things moving

He was a task master and made everyone to work for his PPTs and visit arrangements only.

It’s fortunate for LRDE that he didn’t get his extension.

His bad quality is that he didn’t take every one with him. The position and power ruined him.

He neglected demotivated working class with his tongue

He started interacting only with LMC and his chela’s .

He treated everyone as untouchables.

If he had come down to lab alone and interacted with ground level

LRDE today may in better position.

He created bad name to LRDE with his egoism.

Spoiled relationship with CDA, DGs and posted out

All those who spoke against him to DG office or sidelined from active projects.

Sincere request to him that after his retirement he should not try to occupy some DRDO chair or

Consultant position at BEL or some company or NTRO consultancy.

He passed his productive professional innings long back

He can’t contribute further he should understand and live his retirement life quietly

He can’t bring harmony in work place where ever he goes.

He is just power hungry and egoistic. He can’t become a good leader who can take everybody with him and can listen wisely.

Request to all those agencies / organisations think thrice before appointing him for post retired roles. Keep all the comments in mind and give a chance to Ravind.

High Fives! Can DRDO fulfil Modi’s wish of youngsters heading 5 laboratories?

Written by: Dr Anantha Krishnan M Updated: Wednesday, November 5, 2014, – One India News

Bengaluru, Nov 5: Hit by the short range ‘wish missile’ fired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi two months back, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) might be waking up to the reality that the change is imminent, and it’s now or never.

While addressing a DRDO award function in August this year, PM Modi had asked the top brass to set aside five laboratories for scientists below 35 years – a message that went viral on social media sites.

In an interview to OneIndia, Dr K Tamilmani, Director-General (Aero), DRDO, said that the PM’s wish to hand over the mandate of running some labs to youngsters has become a mandate now.

“The PM’s call to promote young talent has been well received by the youngsters within DRDO. We have been doing this exercise in the past as well and it will get a new focus now. It has to be a well-thought out plan keeping in mind factors such as project execution, financial management, administrative abilities and most-importantly leadership qualities,” Dr Tamilmani said.

IIT graduate heads Rs 22-crore futuristic project

He said emerging projects and technologies are being given to scientists at ‘D’ and ‘E’ levels. “We have been promoting youngsters in DRDO. To give an example, a fast-track technology development project has been already handed over to a young IIT graduate at the Aerial Delivery Research & Development Establishment in Agra. He is leading a 22-crore project for futuristic technologies for the development of an airship,” Dr Tamilmani said.

Sighting another example, he said the DRDO is in the process of handing over the ‘Rotary UAV’ project to a young team at the Aeronautical Development Establishment in Bengaluru.

DRDO spokesperson Ravi Gupta told OneIndia that youngsters were never ignored when it came to crucial projects. “Many youngsters have been project directors of some of our key projects. In Hyderabad itself we have two relatively young scientists in Dr Satheesh Reddy and Dr Tessy Thomas heading two critical labs – the Research Centre Imarat (RCI) and the Advanced System Laboratory (ASL) respectively. With the PM’s new directive, the idea of promoting youngsters will now get a new impetus,” Ravi Gupta said.

Modi’s idea is great, execution tough

According to Pushpindar Singh, aviation historian, author and publisher, the DRDO must undergo radical changes to become a world beater in defence R&D.

“You must have a virtual revolution within the DRDO. To me, the system won’t allow youngsters to come up. Modi has some brilliant ideas. But to execute the ideas, he will have to penetrate through the babudom. If the PM wants to see young hands spearheading projects in DRDO, then he should privatise DRDO. The results will be magical. Else we will see the same story doing the rounds,” said Pushpindar, one of the prominent voices of Indian defence.

Creation of new labs the only solution

A top DRDO director who wanted not to be named said that the PM’s idea of handing over the reins of some labs to youngsters below the age group of 35 might not work.

“Honestly, the idea might sound great, but there will be a lot of practical difficulties. It’s not an easy task to give the lab charge to a Scientist D or E and then ask someone senior at Scientist H to report to a lower rank. It will create unrest among the system. Even if it has to be done, then it has to be executed without creating any heartburn,” the official said.

He said the only way out to fulfil PM’s mandate is to create 5 small labs with limited mandate to start with. “We need to identify 5 different projects to be handed over to these labs. All the five labs must report to one Director-General to avoid further hiccups. I agree that DRDO has built in too many layers within and despite the implementation of Rama Rao Committee’s recommendations, lots need to improve,” the official added.

Ready to take risk, let young guns take charge

In his speech PM Modi had said that the government was willing to take risks by giving young guns a chance to run R&D programme. His wish-list included.

Identify five laboratories within DRDO for youngsters

Only scientists below 35 years will work here

All key decisions should be taken by the people in these labs

DRDO must develop systems ahead of others

We got the potential, must work ahead of time DRDO must bring comfort in the routine lives of jawans.

DRDO scientists should inspire youth in universities.

As this piece goes live on OneIndia, there are media reports that the PMO has struck down the service extension request for four scientists, working past their retirement age. The decision by the PMO might upset the DRDO top brass, who always had their way when it came to extension of senior scientists.

“Sixty is not the right age for a scientist to retire. In abroad, the scientists work even beyond 70 years. We need to debate this issue and see how best we can retain the talent of our senior scientists,” says a retired DRDO director, who had got two extensions (2 + 2 years) after touching 60 years.

The PM has definitely set the ball rolling by inspiring the youth within DRDO. Whether the DRDO top brass can live up to his expectations is something worthy to watch!

Snow & Avalanche Study Estt (SASE), DRDO’s corruption input

Subject: Snow & Avalanche Study Estt (SASE), DRDO’s corruption input

Sir,

DRDO is totally in grip of corruption, although day by day actions by government improving the scenario but the roots are very deepen because since last 20 years it is flourished and embedded in system.

Snow & Avalanche Study Estt (SASE), Chandigarh is not spare with this corruption habits.

The case of construction of Plinths for prefab housing – 6 NOS and Septic Tanks -6 Nos Vide Supply Order No. MPG/SO/2012-13/8239/130/GEN DATED 19 NOV 2012 3575000/- (Limited Tender) is perfect example of corruption prevailing in SASE, DRDO.

The order was given to M/S ASHIQ HUSSAIN AND CO. POST BOX NO. 27, HEAD POST OFFICE, ANANTNAG, J & K- 192101 for various locations i.e. Z Gali, Baraf, Pharkiyan & Cheema.

As per assigned work given for four outer walls with foundation details, but no foundation was made, walls simply made on a simple plate form? Very Risky, can fail under small snow loads, Plinth Band not made, no foundation were made for intermediate plinth beams

DRDO senior scientists are not serious about their assigned work, their main attention to minting funds with various means, they even not worried about the jwans/ labors life that any accident can happened in heavy snowfall, one such incidents was already happen in Harsil, Uttarkhand, but incident was suppressed because of remote destination.

Along with supply order all drawings are enclosed herewith for your investigation and your personal attention can changed the rotten system, a single strong action from PMO is required on corruption issues of DRDO.  Because recently your strong action towards service extension business given light of hope that one day our premier defence  organization will become real productive.

Why do people want to go private organizations? Is it because they do good work and they are rewarded? Do you have any method of incentives for good work done by scientists? Please elaborate – (CC R&D HR)

As per the reply in Parliament ( LOK SABHA) against UNSTARRED QUESTION NO 596, ANSWERED ON 09.12.2013, the total 487 scientists left from DRDO from 2008 to 30th November 2013. Scientist B- 289, Scientist C- 152, Scientist D – 26, Scientist E-  13, Scientist F – 7.

Why they left – Financial reasons – very few, most young scientists join this great premier scientific organization with great enthusiasm that they will contribute their best to serve the nation, but unfortunately they encounter incompetent, greedy, bosses who got these higher posts on the basis of flattering/corruption /nepotism.

Examples are numerous but this is one real reason I grew up in a small town called ———— and my father works for ——. All my childhood I spent in scientific community and I dreamt of becoming a scientist one day. I did that and I ignored offers from private sector and Joined DRDO.

The establishment that I joined promised me excellent work in my field of analysis and designing. At 21, I joined and things of course were very indifferent to what I dreamt of.

We had bureaucracy and people were not happy. The organization was something like a hierarchy controlled rather than intellectual oriented. I had an excellent team and my STA’s are one of the best. People never cared to harness their potential. Have no idea why.

Most of the works that we were supposed to do were outsourced; this is one thing that I fought with everybody. I did not want to work for my salary; I wanted to work for pleasure.

Finally, my team was able to deliver some engineering marvels that my superiors said it was impossible to do. My growing frustration with outsourcing was a big issue for me. A single step ahead in the project is like fighting with in.

After 5 years of service, I came to US to pursue my further studies.”

The absolute power to Lab Directors is also a big reason to derail the organizations.

The training of young scientist started with collecting quotations, making specifications, filing indents of not required instruments & items on direction of their bosses to get good APAR and promotions. If the scientist not compromise with his integrity for helping out the corruption of his bosses and Director, then immediately his harassment started by all means including transfers.

One scientist from GTRE, Bangalore genuinely approached the Director for his transfer but the egoist Director after receiving transfer order from DRDO Hqrs told him “ I will see who is going to relieve you if you pressurized me. Your dead body only can only be relieved” It is not a joke and this is the real scenario of DRDO.

The individual  ask transfer without having GOD father in DRDO always get same treatment, his carrier start spoiling by Lab Directors, if Lab Directors is annoyed with any individual of lab means he will going to face social boycott by  whole lab because one try to help him means he will also come under threat zone. Targeted individual start facing each and every step of his day to day work like NO TD, No support for project work, no recommendation for good work, APAR/ACR dropped to average and many more obstacles are common.

If Lab Director sniff that the individual is watching corruption or raising voice for that, it means that that individual is now going to get a kick without following the rules to remotest area with instruction that make sure that this man does not get peace at all.

DRDO has an unwritten thumb rule that when any Lab Director is not happy with any individual it means that he must be transferred to other destination without justifying the reason and the best part of this is that entire DRDO HQRS backsthat egoist corrupt director. This has resulted in the DRDO we know today.

All 25 questions raised by the Cabinet/PMO / Parliament Committee are really the honest approach to make DRDO a productive organization. DRDO is wasting more than two lakh crores worth of infrastructure without any mentionable output. DRDO should accept Genral Mallik’s comment after KARGIL WARcasualties in the conflict could have been reduced had the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) not come in the way.

Unfortunately, DRDO still does not understand the importance of the country’s needs. It still wastes money on SDR type of technologies, which already exist, and DRDO is ready to give second extension for PDC, like Sh R C Agarwal, who got a second extension without output.

It is requested DRDO Hqrs now Modi Ji giving full opportunity to save and grow DRDO in real means, अब तो जागो औरभ्रष्टाचार, भाई भतीजावाद, अयोग्य लोगो को आगे बढ़ाने का कार्य बंद करो।  देश के विकास की और देखो।  जय हिन्द

DRDO giving false information to Rashtrapati Sachivalaya (President Secretariat) regarding Transfer and victimization of whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta of DMSRDE, Kanpur

To
Hon’ble
Shri Pranab Mukherjee
President of India,
Rashtrapati Bhavan
New Delhi – 110011

Subject: DRDO giving false information to Rashtrapati Sachivalaya (President Secretariat) regarding Transfer and victimization of whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta of DMSRDE, Kanpur

Reference:DOP/05/53123/DMSRDE/M/02 dated 22 Sept 2014 of DOP, DRDO

Hon’ble Sir,

Top management of DRDO is infamous for ill-treat to whistle blowers and officials that belonging to SC/ST and minority community in DRDO. The increasing number court cases, representations to President House, SC/ST commission and minority commission are self explanatory of failure of DRDO HR management

Currently Honorable Madras High Court punishedtwo top DRDO scientists with simple imprisonment for a period of three weeks and also pay a fine of Rs.2,000/each. It clearly shows the DRDO losing day by day its credibility and responsibility towards national goals scientifically & administratively as well as welfare of employees and officers working in the organisation. Sir, you can assume the worst situation of DRDO that the top senior officer Dr. G. Malkondiah who was convicted by Hon’ble Madras High Court is Head of HR Department of DRDO.

With reference to the above cited letter , Shri Navin Prakash Gupta, scientist ‘C’ raised his voice against corruption and send lot of complaints to various agencies including Hon’ble Defence Minister with proof.

The representation send to you by whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta on 24 July 2014 ,  which subsequently your good office send to DRDO for their comments and with above reference  DRDO send a reply to ShriNavin Prakash Gupta mentioning in

Para -2 “ Competent authority has approved your transfer from DMSRDE, Kanpur to DRL, Tezpur in public interest keeping in the view the exigencies of work. It is neither is punishment nor an act of victimize as you alleged.”

Shri Avinash Chander constituted a fact finding committee and subsequentlytransfer whistle blower ShriNavin Prakash Gupta to DRL, Tezpur without justifying the issue in public interest. The only aim was to save corrupt scientist and message to others beware don’t make noise against his loyal corrupt officials. It is nothing but abuse of power by Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO, who is working in illegal second extension in service after retirement.

Shri Avinash Chander again constituted second fact finding committee to enquire further the corruption charges against Dr. A. K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

Question is why Shri Avinash Chander constituted two fact finding committees, if there was no corruption evidences on record. As DRDO wrote in above reference letter that allegation are baseless. In case the allegations were baseless then why not DRDO disclosed the first FFIC report to whistle blower and sought explanation from him for false complaint to Defence Minister.

THE WHISTLE BLOWERS PROTECTION ACT, 2011, NO. 17 OF 2014 of Parliament received the assent of the President on the 9th May, 2014, and is hereby published for general information on Monday, May 12, 2014.

Under the provisions of sad Act complainant means

(c) “complainant” means any person who makes a complaint relating to disclosure under this Act;

(d) “disclosure means a complaint relating to,—

(i) an attempt to commit or commission of an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988;

(ii) wilful misuse of power or wilful misuse of discretion by virtue of which demonstrable loss is caused to the Government or demonstrable wrongful gain accrues to the public servant or to any third party;

(iii) attempt to commit or commission of a criminal offence by a public servant, made in writing or by electronic mail or electronic mail message, against the public servant and includes public interest disclosure referred to in sub-section (2) of section 4;

Under the provisions of the CHAPTER V- Safeguards against victimisation the Act provide the protection to whistle blowers

PROTECTION TO THE PERSONS MAKING DISCLOSURE

11. (1) The Central Government shall ensure that no person or a public servant who has made a disclosure under this Act is victimised by initiation of any proceedings or otherwise merely on the ground that such person or a public servant had made a disclosure or rendered assistance in inquiry under this Act.

(2) If any person is being victimised or likely to be victimised on the ground that he had filed a complaint or made disclosure or rendered assistance in inquiry under this Act, he may file an application before the Competent Authority seeking redress in the matter, and such authority shall take such action, as deemed fit and may give suitable directions to the concerned public servant or the public authority, as the case may be, to protect such person from being victimised or avoid his victimisation:

(3) Every direction given under sub-section (2) by the Competent Authority shall be binding upon the public servant or the public authority against whom the allegation of victimisation has been proved.

(4) Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force, the power to give directions under sub-section (2), in relation to a public servant, shall include the power to direct the restoration of the public servant making the disclosure, to the status quo ante.

(5) Any person who wilfully does not comply with the direction of the Competent Authority under sub-section (2), shall be liable to a penalty which may extend up to thirty thousand rupees.

The fact is as vigilant citizen of India I have sent more than one dozen corruption cases with complete proof to CVC and CVC duly register the case and send to CVO, MOD for further investigations against Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

Question No 1

The meaning of the exigencies:The state or quality of requiring much effort or immediate action,  A pressing or urgent situation, Urgent requirements; pressing needs – This all are bogus the DRL, a life science deserted lab, the Director sitting there also very corrupt, lot of complaints also pending against him. This is only example of abuse of power by Shri Avinash Chander to protect his corrupt colleague. The DRL lab , Tezpur is working in life sciences and where the exigencies of work,

Question No 2-

In DRDO there are more than 7500 scientist are available to Shri Avinash Chander and out of these computer science experts scientist, the 425 scientists are senior to Shri Navin Prakash Gupta and 447 are junior to him, strangely Shri Avinash Chander picked only the whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta for said exigencies of work   at DRL, Tezpur.

Question No 3

The transfer order was as punishment based on allegation & charges and not in any public interest which is quite evident from letter No. DOP/DS/08/01 dated 28th May 2014 issued and signed by Dr. A.K. Singh, DOP.

Therefore, it is requested that please protect whistle blower Shri Navin Prakash Gupta, Scientist ‘C’ from the clutches of corrupt scientists of DRDO and kindly issue orders to Hon’ble Defence Minister to provide immediate protection and relief to whistle blower scientist by cancellation of his transfer order.

The responsibility for execution of Act passed by Parliament after due sanction by Hon’ble President of India is on concerned ministries and ministers. As per this new Act, every ministry should have competent authority to address the matters of victimization of whistle blowers but the requests from whistle blower and his family are being ill-treated by Government officials, ignoring the provisions of whistle blower protection Act 2011.

DRDO is wasting lakhs and lakhs rupees every year in hundreds of court cases running across the country in various courts because of ego satisfaction of top DRDO brass, as well as because of poor HR management victimization of middle class Government servants.

Sir, kindly save this premier organization from the corruption, nepotism and favoritism and give the justice to honest whistle blower scientists and officials of DRDO who are devoted for the Nation.

DRDO develops CO filters for submarines

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.

MISSILE MISFIRE

22 Sep 2014Hindustan Times (Lucknow)Rahul Singh rahul.singh@hindustantimes.com

DRDO rejects foreign missile for homemade Arjun Mk-2 tank, to work on a new version instead

THE TANK DEVELOPED BY THE DEFENCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ORGANISATION (DRDO) IS AN UPGRADED VERSION OF THE MK-1 VARIANT

India drops Israeli-made LAHAT missiles after it fails to meet the army’s requirements, will develop its own missile for Arjun Mk-2 tanks NEW DELHI: The homemade Arjun Mk-2 tank has suffered a major setback, with a critical Israeli anti-tank missile to be fitted on it failing to meet the army’s requirements. The development comes at a time when the defence ministry has set the ball rolling for buying 118 Arjun Mk-2 tanks at a cost of more than ` 6,600 crore.

The tank developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is an upgraded version of the Mk-1 variant, 119 of which have been inducted in the army.

One of the most significant upgrades proposed in the new tank is its missile-firing capability.

However, the failure of the laser homing anti-tank (LAHAT) missile, manufactured by the Israeli Aerospace Industries, will seriously hinder the ongoing project as the DRDO will now have to work on an indigenous missile that can be fired from the tank.

In an exclusive interview to HT, DRDO chief Avinash Chander said, “The LAHAT missile doesn’t figure in our plans anymore. We are dropping it. We have been working on a tube-launched anti-tank missile, which hopefully can be configured for the tank’s cannon.”

The Mk-2 variant is supposed to have nearly 80 improved features over the previous version, including more than 15 major technology upgrades.

Chander said the LAHAT missile did not meet the army’s requirements of engaging targets at ranges of less than 1,200 metres. It has an effective range of 6,000 metres.

The major improvements on the new tank include better firepower, integrated explosive reactive armour and countermeasure system, a mine plough, a remotely-operable anti-aircraft weapon, advanced land navigation system and enhanced night vision capabilities.

However, the army may not be able to fully exploit the tank, powered by a German engine, as it is too heavy at 67 tonne.

Campus Recruitment by PS Banks Now Unconstitutional – What About Illegality Already Committed ?

campus selection letterby – Danendra Jain <dkjain49709@gmail.com>AllBankingSolutions.com

This refers to Mumbai High court judgement pronounced in a case related to Central Bank of India . The Bombay high court has held that its ( bank’s ) recruitment policy, which allows campus recruitment/interview method for appointment of officers against permanent vacancies on regular basis, was illegal and unconstitutional.

Bank management of almost all public sector banks has resorted to campus hiring, not only in scale I but in scale II and scale III too. During last ten years top ranked officers of almost all banks have functioned in an arbitrary manner, recruited persons of their choice, giving favours to kith and kins of high profile persons and denying the talented unemployed youth. Recruitment of persons for some personal gain or to give favour to sons and daughters of known dignitaries has damaged work culture in banks and adversely affected the asset quality of almost all banks.

Top management in public sector banks picked up persons from campus of their choice and in the name of merit they raped those who have been working in the bank for years and decades. Not only in recruitment have they harmed the future of those existing employees who were waiting for promotion to higher cadre and higher scale. There are instances where bank management recruited officer directly in scale III whereas hundreds and thousands of officers eligible for promotion to scale III are denied their rights.

Further due to their arbitrary and unjustified recruitment of officers from campus in scale III or scale II management of bank had to pay double salary or more for the same work which could be and which hitherto has been performed by junior officers and clerks.

Is there anyone who can punish such top ranked officers whose faulty action caused huge loss to the bank??

Why these responsible and top ranked officers should not be personally punished and taken to task so that in near future no one dares violating the rights of existing employees and denying the opportunity to really talented youths.

I am unable to understand why the courts have simply warned the bank to desist from campus hiring in future and why not court thought it necessary to impose penalty of erring top officials.

In response to court verdict against Central bank and its clear warning to bank not to repeat such campus hiring, Government of India should order CBI inquiry into all recruitment which took place during last ten years in public sector banks through campus hiring and whether those officers are really better than already working officers in banks and whether there was any corrupt dealing in such type of recruitment.
