विषय : डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिकों द्वारा सरकार के नियमो को धता बता कर प्रोजेक्ट्स के नाम पर तकनीकी शब्दावली का प्रयोग कर महंगी गाड़िया खरीद कर उनका निजी उपयोग कर रहे है।
आदरणीय मोदी जी
यह बहुत ही खेद का विषय है की जिन डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिकों की तुलना आपने 20 अगस्त 2014 को पुरस्कार वितरण करते हुए ऋषि मुनियो से की थी उनमे सबसे सीनियर डायरेक्टर जनरल, ऐरो, डॉ के तमिलमणि द्वारा सरकार के सारे नियमो का मजाक बनाते हुए प्रोजेक्ट की गाड़ी का न केवल दुर्प्रयोग कर रहे अपितु औरो को भी गाड़ियों के दुर्पयोग के लिए सहयोग कर रहे है।
डीआरडीओ के संस्थान ए डी इ, बैंगलोर में प्रोजेक्ट रुस्तम – 2 के अंतरगर्त एक संस्वीकृति संख्या DRDO/02/333/P/2/Vol-II-394/D/R&D दिनाक 23/02/2011 द्वारा 5 गाड़ियां रिमोट वीडियो टर्मिनल (आर वी टी) (टोयटा इन्नोवा समतुल्य) 77 लाख में खरीदने की स्वीकृति प्रदान की गयी। (सैंक्शन डिटेल संलग्न है)
एक इन्नोवा डायरेक्टर जनरल, ऐरो, डॉ के तमिलमणि द्वारा इस्तेमाल की जा रही है। गाड़ी में डीजी ऐरो का बोर्ड लगा है। ड्राइवर आर्मी का एक हवालदार नियुक्त है। गाड़ी को देख कर कोई नहीं कह सकता की गाड़ी का इस्तेमाल प्रोजेक्ट रुस्तम – 2 में रिमोट वीडियो टर्मिनल (आर वी टी) में हो रहा है। (चित्र संलग्न है )
डॉ के तमिलमणि द्वारा भारत सरकार के नियम विरुद्ध ट्रांसपोर्ट अलाउंस लाभ भी लिया जा रहा है। (जनवरी की सैलरी स्लिप संलग्न है)
डॉ के तमिलमणि को सरकार ने सेकंड सेवा विस्तार 62-64 वर्ष भी दिया है जोकि मई 2016 तक है। परन्तु केवल भगवान ही जानता है कि डॉ तमिलमणि द्वारा देश व् डीआरडीओ को क्या प्रदान किया है। क्योंकि देश की साइंटिफिक क्षेत्र में उनके योगदान का कोई चिन्ह नजर नहीं आता है केवल डीआरडीओ के स्वयं प्रयोजित पुरस्कार ही उनके खाते में हैं जिनकी कंही भी मान्यता नहीं है। डॉक्ट्रेट की उपाधि का भी अभी अभी प्रबंध किया।
रिमोट वीडियो टर्मिनल (आर वी टी) नाम से ली गयी दूसरी गाड़ी एडीइ निदेशक द्वारा तथा तीसरी गाड़ी प्रोजेक्ट डायरेक्टर रुस्तम -२ द्वारा और सूत्रों के अनुसार बाकि की दो गाड़ियों का कोई सुराग नहीं है।
इसी प्रकार से डीआरडीओ के पुणे स्थित संस्थान एच इ एम आर एल के निदेशक श्री विकास भट्टाचार्य द्वारा भी इसी प्रकार से एक इन्नोवा मोबाइल इन्ट्रूमेंट कैरियर नाम से खरीद कर अपने इस्तेमाल में ली जा रही है। टेंडर, फर्म्स, गाड़ी का लाल बत्ती लगा चित्र, सप्लाई आर्डर संख्या आदि संलग्न है।
इन उपरोक्त तथ्यों से यह लगता है कि रक्षा लेखा विभाग का जैसे डीआरडीओ के अधिकारीयों द्वारा अपहरण कर दिया है। क्या उन्हे वार्षिक ऑडिट में यह सब दिखाई नहीं देता या रक्षा लेखा अधिकारियो ने आँख बंद कर रखी है ?
आपसे अनुरोध है की आपकी लाल किले की प्रतिज्ञा “न खायंगे न खाने देंगे” का कुछ तो असर इन तथाकित डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिकों पर डालने की कृपा करे अन्यथा ये इस देश के करदाताओं से मिले बहुमूल्य पैसो को अपने मजे के लिए उड़ा देंगे।
आपसे यह भी अनुरोध है कि संलग्न शिकायती पत्र को सीवीसी व् सीविओ (रक्षा मंत्रालय) को तत्काल प्रभाव से जाँच करने के आदेश के साथ अग्रसारित करने का कष्ट करें।

SUBJECT: DRDO Directors running DRDO Labs as their Dynasty
Sir,
It appears that Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS, DRDO running Lab as her dynasty.
“Each Directors of DRDO Labs is King/ Queen of Small Kingdom”
Dr Gausal Azam Khan, young energetic life sciences scientist’s research paper was selected for “Developing World Scientist Award” by XXIII Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemotasis, Kyoto, Japan.(July 23-28, 2014)
As per DRDO procedure Dr Khan submitted all required documents and requested to allow him to attend above conference well in advance.
However, he was discriminated being a minority because and has not been allowed to attend conference, Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS till date not furnished any logical /acceptable reason for denial.
Last movement a senior scientist who was very well understand the DRDO culture advised
Dr Khan who was joined DRDO direct scientist ‘D’ via NRI scheme in 2009 and does not aware the DRDO flattery culture only believes in research but in last movement a senior scientist who was very well understand the DRDO culture advised to make it personal visit and get NOC.
The advised worked and Dr Khan got NOC and he went Japan.
Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS took it personally and by unconstitutionally without taking consent from competent authority i.e DG, DRDO she wrote email to organization committee and inquired unethical manner regarding Dr Khan’s where about, when he reached, where he stays, what he received award/finance etc.
Is very shame to DRDO that Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS was spread a message to all international research family that there are no harmony/ understanding/ team spirit/good faith among the DRDO scientists.
Following enclosed emails from Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS to executive director of organizing committee speaks a volume.
Whether GOI/ DRDO Hqrs permit any director to write such mails/letter to ask individual’s personal where about, when he was in personal capacity visit.
In case of Dr Khan when he applied official he was denied means for DRDO matter closed. It attracts penalty for breach of confidentiality and privacy.
Whether GOI/DRDO hrqs allow to directors who are demoralizing the young scientists, other hand the government asked DRDO “What DRDO is doing to make quality scientific manpower pool larger then what is available, to make it much more competent and qualitative, and what kind of facilities and infrastructure DRDO provide to scientific community including their pay and facilities, other things? (CC R&D, HR).
A board has recommended Dr GA Khan entry in DRDO as Scientist ‘D’ in NRI scheme, being a dedicated and hard working scientist, he has made his own space in the field, recognize internationally. Instead of encouraging such manpower DRDO Hqrs appears to discriminate the scientist on the basis of cast & creed by backing the Dr. Shashi Bala Singh, Director, DIPAS.
Sir, it is requested to find out, whether Dr. Shashi Bala Singh Director, DIPAS could obtain permission from Sh Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO to write such emails which reflects the mistrust among the colleagues and spying of own scientist. This act of shame is being talked with different; they surprised to see the downfall of DRDO scientific culture.

Subject: Extension of service after age of 60 years.
Sir,
Recently DOP&T published an OM F.No.22/35/2011-EO (SM.II) 24th September, 2014 Sub: Grant of extension/re-employment to Central Government servants beyond the age of superannuation.
In Para 1 of above – The ACC has observed that in some of the cases, the Departments are not taking timely action to reconstitute the Departmental Peer Review Committee (DPRC) and are unilaterally extending the service of the officers beyond the age of superannuation without first obtaining approval of the ACC.
In Para 4 of above – It is also reiterated that in absence of specific approval of ACC towards extension of his services beyond the date of superannuation, an officer should stand retired on his date of superannuation and under no circumstances should the Ministry/Department concerned extend his services beyond superannuation unilaterally without the approval & ACC.
Sir, with reference to above OM it is clear that ACC has observed that in some cases officials/scientists got service extensions without first obtaining approval of the ACC, and after straight order no one is retired on his date of superannuation.
It shows that system is having still few strong manipulators who are protecting individuals and putting some weird excuses so that above order is not executed after 46 days. It is really very astonishing facts that after your strong message some of rotten minded officials are not working in the national interest.
On 31st October 2014 evening when DRDO & DAE people got message that you have not granted extensions to scientists after series of recommendations of their so called superiors, they welcomed your decision and distributed sweets and celebrated the closing of extension era.
To maintain their spirit and boosting their moral it is requested that weed out those few officials from your system who are the obstacle of our country’s development and execute the above DOP&T OM urgently.
The cases of extensions without approval of ACC should be cancelled immediately and these scientists should be superannuated with effect from the date they got extension.

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.

SUBJECT: Sh Avinash Chander is not interested to take any action on DMSRDE corruption cases.
Sir,
I would like to draw your kind attention towards corruption in tunes of crores at Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur, an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Ministry of Defence, Government of India.
Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Scientist ‘C’ on 28.04.1984 in DMSRDE, Kanpur and since then he is continuously posted at DMSRDE, Kanpur since last 30 years. He has not been transferred even for a day from Kanpur and since the date of his posting he is working at Kanpur. The roots of the Dr. Saxena while working at DMSRDE, Kanpur has become so deep that he was involved in various activities involving the financial & other administrative irregularities.
Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Scientist ‘G’ was appointed as Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur wef 01 January 2011. In spite of the fact that he has been involved in various financial and administrative irregularities , Dr. Saxena was promoted to the rank of Scientist ‘H’ wef 02 August 2012 and since then he is holding the rank of Scientist ‘H’ and working as Director, DMSRDE.
The right from his appointment as Director, he was involved in various kinds of administrative & financial irregularities that lead corruption in tunes of crores. Several complaints were made against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena to then Defence Minister by some scientists of DMSRDE.
Being a RTI activist and social worker running a website corruptionindrdo.com to expose the corruption in DRDO, also made as far as 12 complaints regarding corruption in procurements of various instruments & materials etc in DMSRDE by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE to CVC, Hon’ble Defence Minister and DGR&D, DRDO. These complaints were filed during 29 Nov 2013 to 11 June 2014. Total cost of store items procured against which complaints were filed is about Rs. 7.5 crore. A complete list of complaints filed by me to CVC and Hon’ble Defence Minister is annexed as Annexure No. -1.
All the aforesaid complaints made have been endorsed by Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). CVC has taken cognizance of aforesaid complaints and registered on prima facia. These complaints have been forwarded to Chief Vigilance Office (CVO), Ministry of Defence for further enquiry/investigation of the aforesaid complaints. Under the provisions of RTI Act 2005 the CPIO, CVC vide letter no. CVC/RTI/13/1862/241925 dated 18.03.2014 informed to me that his complaints have been forwarded to CVO (MOD) for investigation.
Under RTI Act, CPIO, CVO MOD informed that all complaints have been forwarded to Director, Vigilance & Security, DRDO for further inquiry and asked the consolidated report from DRDO vide their letter dated 04 August 2014.
Meantime, A FFIC was constituted by Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO to inquire the complaints against Dr. Saxena. The Fact Finding Inquiry Committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur on 13th – 14th, March 2014 for inquiry on the complaint submitted against Dr. Saxena. The said committee submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but no action taken by DRDO against Dr. Saxena, Director.
It is very surprising and interesting that Shri Avinash Chander again set up another four members Fact Finding Inquiry Committee under chairmanship of Dr. D.C. Pandey, Scientist ‘H’ LRDE and three members Sri Hari Babu Srivastava, Scientist ‘G’, Director, LASTECH, Sri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ and Sri R.S. Mehta, Joint Director. The said committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur recently on 9-10 July 2014. Therefore constitution of two FFIC by Shri Avinash Chander establishes that there were complaints against Dr. Saxena but to give him patronage and support the Shri Avinash Chander set up illegal FFIC. This second FFIC also submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but still no action against Dr. A.K Saxena took place by DRDO.
Interestingly, 31st October in the eve of Vigilance week, Sh. R.S. Mehta, Joint Director, Vigilance, DRDO in his address mentioned to audience that how the corrupt practices adopted by Director, DMSRDE and his team in procurement cases.
Sir, it is not understandable that why Shri Avinash Chander constituted two fact finding committees? Why DRDO is silent on corruption cases of DMSRDE, Kanpur? Why Shri Avinash Chander is protecting Dr. A.K. Saxena?
In light of the above mentioned facts, it is requested that speedy action needed to save precious funds of poor tax payers. Dr A K Saxena openly using same corrupt practices in ongoing procurements cases. He told to his beloved team that Dr. V Bhujanga Rao, DG,NS&IC directed that left Rs 13 crores should be spend up to 31st March 2015 positively.
