Dr. Kalam other than being a brilliant man and scientist has the makings of an excellent CEO. Almost any and every project he has been involved with has come to fruictition and all the work that he branched off and distributed to other agencies flopped. This has happened time and time again, which only leads me to believe that Dr. Kalam has something in him that nobody else does. His knowledge of the DRDO is also unparalleled. The truth of the matter is that he is the founding father of a lot of these organizations; he never boasts about it, but he does know these entities inside out. I also admire his progressive views where he explicitly says that the DRDO needs to be restructured every 5 years. The reason Indian public sector is so pathetic compared to developed nations is because nothing ever gets restructured. Just look at IAF for instance. They took on massive tech transfers in the late 60s... they just never got around to keeping up with things. We are still losing pilots in the Mig21 Bisons (I mean flying coffins) from that era. I could go on and on with examples.
It is time we privatized this entire industry. There is obviously a lot of talent in India which we are losing to the west and our own private sector. And seriously, why would we expect any bright young engineer to get stuck working for an inefficient governmental agency like DRDO or HAL when they could have a better career in the private sector? It is thus logical to privatize this industry to initiate healthy competition and cooperation. Governmental agencies like the DRDO should only be entrusted with forecasting the needs of the defense forces and organizing budgets and Dr. Kalam should be incharge of this entire deregulation process.
