DRDO to get new Chief, panel of 3 very senior scientists constituted
Dr Samir V Kamath, the DRDO’s current chairman, is superannuating on May 31 after close to three years in office. The process to select his successor has set rolling. The screening committee has reportedly suggested the names of three very senior scientists from within the DRDO: Dr B K Das, director general (electronics & communication system), Suma Varughese, director general (micro electronic devices, computational systems and cyber systems), and Ummalaneni Raja Babu, director general (missiles and strategic systems). Dr B K Das is the senior most among them and has brighter chances of holding the reins.
