Restructuring of DRDO
After the examination of the P Rama Rao Committee report by the Government followed by directive to implement, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has appointed an "Implementation Committee" to work out finer details for implementing its recommendations. The implementation process is progressing under the guidance of an Advisory Committee.
The committee has also recommended for private sector participation in DRDO. The participation of private sector is primarily in the productionisation of developed systems, through concurrent engineering.
Appropriate safeguards are built-in in the agreement to maintain adequate secrecy and security.
This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Dr Kirodi Lal Meena in Lok Sabha today.
