New Delhi: India's premier defence and research organisation DRDO is facing a shortage of 2,776 scientists as there has been no enhancement of scientific manpower since 2001, the government said today.

In a written reply to Lok Sabha, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said while the number of projects has grown multi-fold in terms of size and technological complexity keeping in view India's strategic and tactical defence requirements, the
enhancement of scientific manpower has not happened.

"The authorisation sanctioned in 2001 was only to cater for IX & X plan projects of DRDO. In this regard, a cabinet note for augmentation of additional 4966 posts, including 2776 posts of scientists, for DRDO has been initiated.

"DRDO has been recruiting scientists against vacancies caused by retirements, superannuations, resignations, etc only as its authorisation of scientists has remained unchanged since 2001," Parrikar said.

After the approval of enhanced manpower, recruitment against additional 2,776 posts of scientists will be spread over five phases and 555 scientists would be recruited in the first phase, he said.

Hike salaries, give free hand for innovations, give better scholarship and research budgets, give defense scientists security and put their promotion on the basis of MERITOCRACY.

Do this and see how people queue up to join DRDO.

Oh and also let DRDO scientists and engineers lead the organization that some idiotic IAS who knows nothing about defense.

UPA (Congress) has undoubtedly done nothing to help India. These were key issues that were brought up and known to the previous administration.......I cant fathom what those MFers were doing all this time? Sonia and Rahul helped our enemies and did more harm to India than our enemies could do. THANK YOU to the F-ing retards who voted them into power all these years. I hope you all have woken up and seen their MISMANSGEMENT OF INDIA SINCE INDEPENDENCE@!
