- This nine-member committee has recently submitted a comprehensive report addressing concerns about the functioning of the DRDO.
- The DRDO’s role is to be limited to research and development without being involved in developing prototypes or technology demonstrators.
- Also, any production and further development should be done by selected private players or public sector undertakings.
- It recommended the setting up of close to 10 national-level laboratory facilities instead of the existing 40 or more DRDO labs across the nation.
- Besides, the setting up of five national test facilities has also been recommended, which will be open to private players for testing their weapons systems.
- Limited public awareness and transparency regarding DRDO's activities and achievements leads to negative perception and criticism.
- Efficient transfer of developed technologies must be from DRDO to private industries for mass production.
- It suggested the creation of the Department of Defence Science, Technology, and Innovation under the Defence Ministry.
