Winds of change? DRDO wakes up from slumber; calls young troops to Hyderabad for an inspiring event

Express News Service

Hyderabad: Milking the reverse brain-drain syndrome and pushing the out-of-the-box-philosophies being propagated to keep the fresh blood in sterile condition, the think-tank of India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is organising a three-day Young Scientists' Meet (YSM) in the land of nawabs and kebabs – Hyderabad. This first-of-its-kind-event will be held from December 18-20 at Ramoji Film City and at Research Centre Imarat (RCI), a DRDO facility.
It's hard to believe that DRDO has finally woken up from slumber and decided to brand its employees -- especially youngsters – with a feel-good get-together filled with freedom of expression. With the motto 'Together We Grow,' the YSM will give DRDO top-brass a rare insight into the minds of its younger troops. "You can't ignore them and they are DRDO's saviors. They hold the baton to the future and YSM is just the beginning of a series of new initiatives we are lining up," DRDO chief Dr V K Saraswat tells The New Indian Express.
So what will the young guns do at the backyard of Charminar? Well, for a change they will talk and their bosses will listen. They will chart out a trajectory for DRDO studded with new hopes and horizons. They will speak fearlessly. They will pick up the threads of sharing, bonding and self-belief. They will probably scream in unison: Yes, We can!
An idea mooted by the Human Resources Department at DRDO HQ in Delhi will finally take wing when close to 250 young scientists from various disciplines and from 52 labs will flock together sinking their designations, but soldering their desires. "We are confident that the event will be a smashing hit as we have never done something like this before. Scientists in the B,C and D levels will make use of this opportunity to display their inner might," says S.K. Ray, ..........................

It is the success of the AGNI 4 missile which was a success due to the brilliant work of the younger generation of the DRDO who made it a success, the DRDO has been waked up by them to do new things and achieve new goals.

This is the power of hope. One thing leads to another if success is achieved. Young generation of India is very much talented and needs a better platform to do R&D. If the trend continues, we can do more for self defense and humanity.

Development of Performance Enhancing Durgs by DRDO 07-December, 2011

Defence Institute of High Altitude Reasearch (DIHAR), Leh, a laboratory of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has developed a unique herbal formulation "Performax" of ten important herbs known to have adaptogenic properties. Animal studies conducted showed nearly 36 percent increased physical performance during exposure to altitude simulating 25,000 ft. Human studies are being planned in collaboration with 153 GH. The salient features of the developed drugs are:- * The capsule has a calorific value of 211.8 C and is rich in adaptogens and antioxidants including vitamins. * It is completely herbal with no toxic effect. * It can be used as herbal prophylactic and dietary supplement. Formulation could be used as a prophylactic to improve physical and mental performance of the troops deployed at high altitude and other stressful operational environments. It can improve respiratory, circulatory, nervous and hormonal functions to cope with higher levels of stress. This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri N.K. Singh in Rajya Sabha today.

HYDERABAD: In a first of its kind event, the young guns of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) will talk and the top brass will listen at a threeday Young Scientists' Meet (YSM) being organised by the research institution from December 18-20 at Ramoji Film City and at Research Centre Imarat (RCI) in Hyderabad. With the motto 'Together We Grow,' the YSM will give the DRDO topbrass an insight into the minds of its younger personnel. "You can't ignore them.

"We are confident that the event will be a smashing hit as we have never done something like this before. Scientists in the B, C and D levels will make use of this opportunity to display their ideas," says S K Ray, director of RCI.DRDO ran a contest for the YSM logo and it caught the imagination of scientists nationwide. "We will be forming different teams and each team will be provided with an idea on which they will have to interact and present a report on the last day of the event. We are also looking at improving their communication skills, coordination and adaptability," says G Krishna Rao, director, planning and production, RCI.Currently, Team YSM is scrutinising innovative ideas, out of which six will be given a 10minute slot to make presentations, while the rest will go into the poster segment. "Observers will note the ideas which can be of used for DRDO's future development. We are also making our chief controllers available to the youngsters during YSM," Rao said.Dr A P J Abdul Kalam will officially release the YSM logo during his visit to RCI on Dec. 9.

Inauguration of 'NAVIGATION & EMBEDDED COMPUTERS COMPLEX' at RCI, DRDO by Dr. APJ. Abdul Kalam, Former President of India

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2011


The state-of-art technology center for design & development of world class Advance Navigation systems & Real-time Embedded computing products was inaugurated by Dr. APJ. Abdul Kalam, Former President of India on 9th December 2011 (Friday), at RESEARCH CENTER IMARAT (RCI), the brain child of Dr. Kalam and the premier defence Avionic systems laboratory situated in the DRDO' s Missile complex in Hyderabad. The 'NAVIGATION & EMBEDDED COMPUTERS COMPLEX' which has been built over 14.5 acres within the premises of RCI, houses the most advanced design, fabrication & performance evaluation facilities required for the development of all classes of Navigation sensors & systems and real-time embedded systems. The Inertial Navigation group of RCI, which will be relocating to this complex, has been involved in the design & development of highly critical inertial sensors like Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs), Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOGs), Quartz Accelerometers, Hemispherical Resonating gyros (HRGs), etc which go into the Navigation systems of missiles, combat aircrafts, torpedoes, ships & submarines. The Real-time Embedded computing Group of RCI has been developing the real-time computer systems for all DRDO products and is an expert group in state-of-art VLSI & System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies. The DRDO scientists confirm that this new advanced Navigation complex is on par with the best in the world and possesses all relevant infrastructures required for the system development and performance evaluation of the present & future Navigation requirements. Dr. Kalam, the founder of RCI, also inaugurated the museum within the complex, which showcases the birth and evolution of the navigation & computing technologies of the world & DRDO, from ancient times to the present day. Dr. Kalam, during his address, expressed that his dream of RCI heading towards the Number 1 position in the field of Inertial sensors, Navigation systems & algorithms, etc is becoming a reality and emphasized the need to develop the Single chip Navigation, Guidance & control solution based on the System-on-chip technology. The Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri & the Chief of DRDO Dr. V.K. Saraswat, congratulated the scientists on establishing the world class facility and wished RCI to emerge as the world leader in avionics. The Chief Controller R&D (Missiles & Stategic Systems) Shri. Avinash Chander, Director of RCI Shri. SK. Ray and many other Chief Controllers & top scientists of DRDO were present during the occasion.

He is still "THE MISSILE MAN OF INDIA" and nothing in the INDIAN MISSILE DEFENCE SYSTEM PROGRAM moves forward without his knowledge.

Not just for DRDO and ISRO but for all of India, he is still Mr. President. Dadima Patil is not even worth his shoe string, let alone parallel.

DRDO also appears to be employing five cent Army. Instead of propaganda, better do some scientific work or propaganda is considered as scientific research !!
