Wohooo so DRDO finally gets up to honor those who got honored in America? Good O Lord, atleast they are making an effort...Times of India for a change has put this news on front page, they have sacrificed a lot by providing some space for this news. All one can see on times of india is some adult news, some adult pics on the top right or some NRI news. Anyways the article says
"The scheme for NRIs, though still in its infancy, has already netted at least 40 PhDs and MTechs working in academics or industry in countries like US, UK, Japan and Sweden. We are intensifying the drive. In 2007 alone, we received 150 applications from NRI scientists and engineers and finally picked up 22. The number of applicants is increasing, with the majority coming from US," a top DRDO scientist told TOI on Wednesday. NRIs in the 35 to 45 age-group, having worked abroad for 10 or more years, have enough buffer money. If they want to come back to their kith and kin, we can provide them with job satisfaction," said a senior DRDO official. "We also give value in terms of accommodation, working environment and facilities in our labs, health benefits, pension and the like," he added. Then, of course, DRDO has demanded a ‘performance-based incentive package’ for scientists, over and above the revision in salaries, from the 6th Pay Commission. This includes proposals like a Rs 10,000 award for every patent being filed or a paper being published in a reputed journal, as also a ‘technology-transfer fee’ for every lab-to-industry transfer. DRDO scientists say Prime Minister Manmohan Singh himself has promised to them that careers in science will be made ‘more attractive from all perspectives’ to stem brain drain."
First mistake they are doing is this, opening up quotas for minorities and throwing us out. Corruption taking the toll, IT misused left and right, when priority is given to IT and rural ... who damn cares about innovation and science? The way DRDO has treated my dad for his service, I wouldnt dare go and act as if nothing happened. Wouldnt go even if they paid me in dollars and gave me free rein or independent research status. The thing is India is a great country but i dont like the ways some goons are running my home country. Second thing is why cant they go the easy route of paying russians or the americans money and get the best weapons? ... in a way this is more profitable as there is a way to get kickbacks and pocket tax payers money!!!

drdo is a huge govt. organisation in a developing country. Sure there will be a lot of issues, but i am happy to see that the govt. is finally taking some action about it. You can not assume drdo will treat you the same way it treated your father. Things are changing in india. We are looking ahead at a brighter tomorrow.
