DRDO is another govt. organization with lot of hype but no substance.
Any organization has to work under competitive environment, with specified time for different programs. This can not happen in govt. sector. Govt. should remain as regulator and for welfare of people.
One thing politicians should understand, that their aim is to uplift the country and it's general population , not those handfull of burecrats and govt. staff.
Let businessman do business.
Defence developments are like any other industry with developments ,new designs and technology keeps on coming/ evolving with time.It is not a place for burecrats or govt. staff to pass time.
Speed is today's buzzword. if you don't get proper invention in right time, then it is all waste for govt.'s /people's money.
Everybody has to change the mindset. We all know that all our public sectors started opening their eyes only once they thought their survival is at stake.
All this foreign tie ups will be another waste. Our priority should not be how to save DRDO, but should be how to save the country and how to keep pace with outer world in technology. Only private sector can do this. Not our pampered govt. staff or burecrats , with safe jobs in hand, no motivation, tied up in red tapism and only interested in moving files between different departmens.
