DRDO slippages are they frustrating Modernisation of the Armed Forces?

The following steps have been taken to strengthen the organisation:

Consortium approach has been used for design, development and fabrication of critical components.

Three-tier project monitoring approach is being followed in the major projects / programmes.

Project Monitoring Review Committee (PMRC); and Project Appraisal and Review Committee (PARC) meetings are held regularly to monitor the progress of the ongoing projects.

Concurrent engineering approach has been adopted in technology intensive projects to minimize time-lag between development and productionisation of the systems, and Information Technology and modern management techniques have been applied.

Participation of Services in all major programmes right from the beginning of the projects, etc.

Large number of R&D projects and research initiatives taken up with nearly 100 academic and other scientific establishments.
