Overhauling of DRDO And Defence PSUs

The functioning of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was reviewed by a Committee

headed by Prof. P. Rama Rao. DRDO has accepted several recommendations which inter-alia include creation of 

Seven Technology Domain based Clusters headed by Director’s General; Restructuring of DRDO HQrs; Creation of 

Directorate of Quality, Reliability and Safety (QR&S); increase in budget for Extramural Research; creation of 

empowered Defence Technology Commission (DTC); creation of a Commercial Arm of DRDO; creation of 5

Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) posts along with 162 other posts for full scale implementation of Integrated

Financial Advisor ( IFA) Scheme etc.

Recently, a review of all DRDO Projects along with the three Services, OFB and Defence Public Sector 

Undertakings (DPSUs) has been carried out so as to realign the focus towards the “Make in India” Programme.

Also, more than 1000 small, medium and large Indian industries have been involved in the development and productionisation of products for the delivery to the Services.

With the objective of achieving self-reliance in defence production, the DPSUs have been continuously

modernizing and upgrading their capabilities and widening their product range. Some of the DPSUs have also

collaborated with DRDO and other R&D institutions in this regard. There is also increasing emphasis on

 partner ships of DPSUs with the private sector for sourcing various components so that DPSUs can play the role of 

system integrators and become more competitive.

This information was given by Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar in a written reply to Shri Rajeev

Chandrasekhar in Rajya Sabha today.
