CSIR scheme to woo NRI scientist backfires
|
|
New Delhi, Nov 07: CSIR's scheme to woo NRI
scientists appears to have backfired with an offer made to a
researcher being withdrawn, a move that raises questions over
the programme.
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)
had offered the position of Outstanding Scientist to V A Shiva
Ayyadurai, a Fulbright scholar pursuing research in Chennai,
to explore commercialisation of CSIR technologies.
A letter offering the post of Outstanding Scientist, in
the rank of Additional Secretary, to Ayyadurai was withdrawn
as there was no response from him on accepting it, said Samir
Brahmachari, Director General CSIR.
Ayyadurai was offered the post under the Scientist
Technologist of Indian Origin, wherein CSIR plans to get back
NRI scientists to spur research in the country.
He was engaged by CSIR as Business Consultant in July
till the formalities of his appointment as Outstanding
Scientist were completed.
However, Brahmachari said that Ayyadurai's services were
discontinued after an internal review of his performance.
Ayyadurai claimed at a press conference here that his
removal was a reaction to his report on "leadership issues" in
CSIR and has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in this
regard.
Media reports said that Ayyadurai was shown the door
after he had made demands for high remuneration.
