The government’s intent to restructure and rejig India’s premier defence research monolith, the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is now evident. A nine-member committee that was appointed to assess and revamp the DRDO operations has already submitted its report. The committee was tasked with generating recommendations to review and redefine the department’s role and align it with India’s futuristic technological requirements in the defence domain. Lt Gen Subrata Saha (retd), who previously served as Deputy Chief of Army Staff, who had also initiated several reforms within the military as well as outside after superannuation and someone who is closely associated with the development and progress of the Indian defence industry was one of the members of the committee. In this conversation with Editor-in-Chief Nitin Gokhale, Editor-in-Chief of BharatShakti Gen Saha has made several suggestions. He said, “DRDO has to reform itself and move with times as these reforms will take DRDO to the next level to place in the broader defence R&D ecosystem”.
