Bangalore: DRDO bleeds as scientists desert organisation in droves

DNA Correspondent

Young scientists are leaving India’s premier defence research agency in large numbers.

Defence Research Development Organisation (Drdo), responsible for developing indigenous defence systems, has not been able to retain its young scientists over the last seven years or so.

Close to 1,000 scientists have resigned from Drdo since 2007, but it is the exit of young scientists (Scientist ‘B’ and Scientist ‘C’ grades) that is a cause of concern.

The scientists in these grades are critical for research and development of a number of indigenous defence projects in areas such as aeronautics, armaments, combat vehicles, electronics and missiles.

Between 2007 and 2009, around 285 scientists in ‘B’ grade and 162 in ‘C’ resigned. Over the next four years, between 2010 and 2013, there was a small drop as 162 in grade ‘B’ and 77 in ‘C’ resigned.

The flight of the younger scientists is in complete contrast to the resignation to the senior scientists in ‘D’, ‘E’, ‘F’ ‘G’ ‘Outstanding’ ‘Distinguished’ categories, as between 2007 and 2013 only 86 resigned.

Following the high attrition rate in 2012, mainly due to availability better opportunities and incentives in the private sector, the ministry of defence (MoD) announced a few incentives and corrective measures to retain scientists.

The measures included two additional increments on promotion to each Grade, up to six variable increments on promotion granted on fast track, professional update allowance to all scientists, fast track promotions through assessments, opportunity to acquire higher qualifications at reputed institutes viz. IIT`s / IISc, etc. as Drdo sponsored candidate, young Scientists, Scientist of the Year and other Drdo awards in recognition to their contributions and creation of excellent infrastructure facilities at work places and residential complexes.

The incentives, however, have not been able to stop the exodus. Defence minister AK Antony said in Parliament recently that ‘personal and for pursuing higher studies’ as the reason for the scientists leaving the organisation.

Drdo has a sanctioned strength of 7,500 and is currently short of a few hundred scientists.

Subject : Assessment call for promotion to delinquent Scientists of DMSRDE Kanpur

Sir,

I have submitted eleven complaints to you regarding Corruption cases meted out by Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, Defence Materials and Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur and several other Scientistsof this establishment working under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Min. of Defence. Details of complaints along with involved Scientists are as follows:dmsrde rac

Based on my complaints to you a Fact Finding Committee was constituted by DGR&D and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri to investigate my complaints and I have been informed by CPIO, DRDO regarding this. Copy of the letter No. RTI/01/2091/P/2014/0068 25 Feb 2014 from CPIO, DRDO is enclosed, Fact Finding Committee of DRDO yet to submit his report to DGR&D, DRDO.

The Fact Finding Committee under Chairmanship of Dr, S S Negi, Sc ‘H’, IRDE with as member Sh Manoj Bali, Sc ‘G’, Director, LIC, DRDO Hqrs and Sh Jagdeep, Sc ‘F’ Additional Director, DMM, DRDO Hqrs visited DMSRDE and inspected few files and interacted with scientists of DMSRDE. It is observed that the demeanor of  Fact Finding Committee was not appreciable, they treated the complainants unfairly because their mindset was prejudice and it is standard procedure in DRDO if someone want to give feedback about corrupt practice  of top officials they try to do their best for victimize such personnels. In this case the protest from complainants already present to DG, DRDO.

There are n numbers of examples, recently Sh Prakash Singh, SAO-II, LASTEC, who gave feedback of corrupt practices of Dr Anil Kumar Maini, Director, LASTEC and others,  the whole DRDO sit aside and they forcibly gave CRS to Sh Prakash Singh but grace of GOD you intervene the situation and save the service of honest person. Surprisingly, Dr Anil Kumar Maini is living DRDO from 31st May 2014 as he applied VRS and got sanctioned. His retirement was due on 31st Jan 2015, Big question what is the hurry, or he is maintain the LASTEC legacy, his predecessor was also took VRS.

In this case the Fact Finding Committee Chairman Dr, S S Negi, Sc ‘H’, IRDE is a pro management, yes man recently in Dehradun he set a unprecedented example as Chairman of ASCODAR committee. While handling a very sensitive issue of SC Community he tried to harass Sh Jagdish Kumar, TO ‘C’ by pressurizing him to give power point presentation to prove himself for 94 marks in APAR, which was not in the purview of ASCODAR. This act was done only in pressure of Sh R C Agarwal, Director, DEAL, Dehradun (Fax copy enclosed)

How can honest persons believe that Dr, S S Negi, Sc ‘H’, IRDE will give justice to his assignment of Chairmanship of Fact Finding Committee. Hope GOD will give him strength to come out from grip of corrupt gang of DRDO.

Besides this above mentioned my all complaints has been registered at CVC and Director (VIG.), Ministry of Defence is inquiring the complaints. In this connection I got letter No. CVC/RTI/13/1862/249925 dated 18th March 2014 from CVC.  “All complaints sent to CVO, MoD for further action.

Sir, this year in DRDO following delinquent Scientists of DMSRDE involved in Corruption got assessment call for promotion vide RAC, DRDO letter No. RAC/08/05/AB/M/2014 dated 12 March 2014.  Details are as follows:dmsrde rac2

Sir, DRDS Rules 1979 as amended are applicable for Recruitment & Promotion   in case of DRDS cadre (Scientists) and FCS is fully applicable in DRDO. As per DOPT OM No. AB-14017_37_2008-Estt-RR.pdf dated 10 September 2010 page 6 Para (ix)     and Page 9 Para(4) it is clearly stated that “Scientists/ Technical experts doing management/ administrative work in the Ministries should not be considered for up gradation under FCS, they should only be given benefit of up gradation under MACP”. Then how these corrupt officers got outstanding report and outstanding call despite being involved in Administrative/Management/Non-Scientific work. These officers got reward from Dr. AK Saxena, Director for indenting and clearing the cases of procurement that resulted Corruption in tunes of crores.

Sir, I therefore kindly request you to issue order to DGR&D, DRDO and Chairman, RAC to take appropriate action as per laid down direction of GOI for appearing in Assessment-2014 for DRDS till they got clearance from Vigilance (MOD) and Fact Finding Committee of DRDO.

Sh Avinash Chander in his reply to press question regarding engaging scientists in allied work justified but he forgot that VI Pay commission gave all incentives to scientists who are engaged in scientific work not for those who are working as clerk and wasting our country’s  poor tax payers money.

Unfortunately, DRDO top management encouraging scientists to work as managerial task, like HR, Admin, Stores, Security etc for long durations and scientists who are involved in such tasks are getting outstanding promotions without any scientific contributions. Dr A K Singh, DOP, Dr R K Jain, Director, RAC are exemplary examples to all DRDS scientists.  Result the real scientists either leaving the organization or dumped un-utilized or frustrated and every ugly acts are coming out from organisation.

Appropriate early action is requested, I would like to thanks you for recommendation of CBI investigation in DRDO recruitment scam for 10 top DRDO officials and also recommendation for alternate recruitment mechanism instead of RAC.

Scientist’s wife murdered in DRDO quarters

Leave a comment

TNN | Mar 11, 2014, 03.53AM IST
BANGALORE: The wife of a scientist with Aeronautical Development Authority (ADE) was stabbed to death inside her house on Monday morning.

The body of Rajini Rajamala, 42, lying in a pool of blood, was spotted by her neighbour just after 11am at the Defence Research and Development Authority (DRDO) residential quarters in CV Raman Nagar, off Old Madras Road.

A man who had come to house number 22/12, on the third floor of house complex number 4, inside the residential quarters, is suspected to have killed her.
Two stab marks were found on her neck. The neighbour, whose identity was kept a secret by police, is a resident of the second floor of the same building. She told police that on hearing a noise, she peeped out of her balcony to see what was going on. She saw a man landing on the ground, and suspected that he had jumped from the third floor of the building.

Surprised, she went up to the third floor, and found Rajini dead.

By the time she returned, the man had vanished. She immediately cried for help and informed police. The murder is suspected have taken place between 10am and 11am.

Her husband Packya Das, a grade D scientist, left for work around 9.30am. One of the neighbours called Das, who was at work, informing him about the murder a few minutes after 11am, police said. The couple’s children, a son and daughter, were at school at the time.

Kamal Pant, additional commissioner of police, law and order, who visited the spot said no valuables were missing from the house. Also, there were no signs of a forced entry.

Joint commissioner of police, law and order (East), KV Sharat Chandra, who is monitoring four special teams formed to investigate the case, said police have a few clues. “All I can say at this point is that the attacker left something behind,” he said.

DID ASSAILANT JUMP FROM THIRD FLOOR?

That the alleged killed jumped from the third floor has left everyone shocked. Joint commissioner Sharat Chandra said: “We’re as surprised that a man jumped from the third floor and survived. However, in her statement, the neighbour said she only saw him land on the ground and suspected that he had jumped from the third floor.”

Sources said the attacker was injured after jumping from the building and there were some spots of blood where he landed. The investigating teams are looking at CCTV camera footage in and around the complex to look for suspicious persons.

FREE ENTRY

“The quarters have a thoroughfare running through, allowing free entry of private vehicles. So there’s no way to maintain a log of visitors. The public road has a bus stand and BMTC buses ply here. However, we keep a record of private vehicles entering the area at night,” DRDO spokesperson.

Anarchy in DRDO Labs

Leave a comment

The corrupt practices of DRDO Directors have made them blind to the extents that do not respect the chain of command. Do not respect their seniors who helped them to shoulder the responsibility.

Unnecessary infighting within labs has caused lack of motivation towards self reliance.

Directors, to satisfy their ego, searches some know buried facts against an individual’s officials who were the trusted men (Chamchas) of his predecessor.

Honorable Defence Minister is requested to make specific mention in his forth coming address to DRDO Directors Conclave “Directors of 52 Labs should concentrate their energy to delvers at least 52 Import Substitutes only” rather than indulge sundry ego problems, which resulted in form of increasing legal litigations.

Director, DRDE, Gwalior Sh M P Kaushik being put the lab knew that his predecessor in year 2010 permitted the inclusion of BE degree in service book record of Sh B P Shakya, STA’B’.

Since the Sh B P Shakya, STA’B belongs to Schedule Cast category and trusted man of  Sh M P Kaushik’s predecessor overlooked the DO Part order 22 dated 10th March 2010 and served  charge sheet to Sh B P Shakya, STA’B.

It is requested to S A to RM Sh Avinash Chandra as competent authority please quashed the charge sheet dated 16th October 2013 issued by Sh M P Kaushik and give directive to Sh M P Kaushik to concentrate his energy in DRDE & DRDE development work instead of wasting the precious time and energy in his cheap ego satisfaction.

Sir there is more 100 of similar cases known to me where individuals concealed their higher qualification while time of their joining. In DRDE you will find five cases in similar nature.  Have DRDO ready to open all cases?

It is again requested please give directions to your all directors to stop harassing the Schedule Cast and weaker section of society.

In above it is also observed that the CAO, DRDE also not gave his co-operation and guidance to individual to get natural justice. As a senior administrative official and moral ground he should advice to Sh M P Kaushik not to take such vindictive approach.

Similar case of harassment of Schedule Cast category has been observed in DEAL, DRDO, Dehradun. Where sh R C Agarwal, Director, DEAL, instead of delivering the product casting 100 Cr (SDR) for which DRDO has extended his service twice (unprecedentedly ) has diverted his attention to torture Schedule Cast individual Sh Jagdish Kumar T O ‘C’, who has been thrice to Antarctica and best communication man of DEAl.

Sh R C Agarwal failed in every field of his technical contribution, feels that helping his own community by out of way, in promotion, protecting them in their action of harassing Schedule Cast and weaker section.

Sh R C Agarwal in his second extension in service as Director, DEAL, he was busy with

Increased hatred against Schedule Cast and weaker section.

Out of way helping own community

Increased works (civil construction and infrastructure) activity in many folds

Sh R C Agarwal support Sh R K Agarwal for his false claim of his involvement in Project ‘NARAD’ and got success to supersede more than 50 odd DRDO senior scientist

Sh R C Agarwal accepted and recommended Sh R K Agarwal’s false claim ““his main contribution has been the development of NARAD, the first semi-static and transportable terminals developed in the country. These terminals were immediately deployed in SRI LANKA during operation PAWAN where they have played a vital Role.”

By this Sh R C Agarwal has abused his power and authority and has mislead with false information to honorable Raksha Mantri and selecting committee empower to select Sceitist ‘H’ equivalent to Lt general.

Sh R K Agarwal created hatred with SC community and Sh R C Agarwal seconded his misadventure. A committee constituted by DG, Sh SS Sundaram to look in to  the matter,   but unfortunately committee again plan to humiliate Sh Jagdish Kumar T O ‘C’, by sending a Fax dated 6th January 2014 vide No.78700/TIS to ask him to prepare a power point presentation on work claimed in APAR against the norms of ASCODAR.

Honorable Raksha Mantri is requested to set up a inquiry so that Schedule Cast and weaker section of DRDO should not suffer.
