Revamping DRDO
by Anand YNI on Jun 03, 2008 10:31 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Though a few scientists have done a very good job in DRDo, overall, it is unsatisfactory and a money guzzling proposal to have it, let alone revamp it!

As an Ex DRDO Employee I would like to say :

1)empty tough talk by Mr Anthony, hope he didnot faint again while draining his toughness during this tough talk.

2)DRDO was , is and will continue to be a white elephant unless privatized.

3)Till date not a single piece of work by the DRDO has been used by the Indian Army.

4)The best thing to do in the times of financial crisis and inflation is to disband the DRDO, this itself would be enough to contain the food shortage.

It is because of idiots like you that DRDO is in such condition. Enough of your suggestions.

Hi Guk,

Ashwin Rath was more forthright since he was a permanent employee of DRDO. I have also been associated with DRDO for a brief while. If you have not worked inside DRDO, it is better to amend your comments suitably. DRDO is a real white elephant causing wasteful expenses worth tens of thousands of crores every year. The sooner they disband this organisation or at least prune it, the better it would be for this country.

is it because the quality of the work is deficient? or is it because the army top brass profits by foreign procurement?
