Sub: Audit at CCS NIAH Baghpat, UP, regarding.
Respected Sir,
One question often boggles me -why not a single audit has been done in CCS NIAH Baghpat under DAHDF, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers welfare?- The Institute came into existence in 2003 and 17 years have gone since its establishment without any audit. It was established after investing hundreds of crore rupees and is run on dozens of crores every year with public money without any audit. Why?
Sir, when I was working there as Act. Director, May-November 2014, I wrote several times for audit and audit team came but returned without doing the audit.
I suspect that embezzlement of hundreds of crore rupees has been done there, the staff is enjoying without doing any work for which the institute was established.
Sir, I request you to kindly look into the matter at the earliest to see, why audit has not been done in last 14 years, who got benefitted through avoiding the audit, what has been gained after establishing the Institute?
Sir, I request you to kindly order an early general and scientific audit of the Institute as I felt since long that it is just a burden on Tax Payers of India.

Subject: Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) supporting corruption, reg.
Respected Sir,
I wrote dozens of time to DG ICAR and Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, President ICAR, ICAR through proper channel but of no avail. The matter is of rampant corruption and supporting the corruption at the top levels.
Sir, as Director CCS NIAH I ordered testing of the quality of foot and mouth disease-FMD- vaccine used under an ambitious program of Govt of India FMD-CP running with thousands of crore rupees since last 14 years but without any impact on disease spread. In testing the vaccines were found to be substandard in 2014 and reported in the first week of November. But corrupt lobby ordered the retesting of the disputed FMD vaccine batches found substandard in my report on 5th November 2014. The committee was constituted under the chairmanship of Dr. Gaya Prasad, then ADG AH ICAR to retest the same batches and samples. The committee ordered retesting of FMD vaccine samples taken from the disputed firms directly by the people not knowing the sampling and not authorized to collect the samples, instead of retesting of the legally collected samples available both at CCSNIAH, Baghpat and archived at Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Bengaluru campus, or testing of the samples collected legally from other places. For retesting Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar, a laboratory, and place not authorized to test FMD vaccine by DCGI, was selected as the venue of the FMD vaccine re-testing with apparent malefic intentions. The illegally collected FMD vaccine samples were tested at Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar between 23-11-2014 to 06-02-2015 and Indian Veterinary Research Institute submitted report thrice on 29-12-2014; 06-01-2015 and 07-02-2015 that is two reports were submitted before completion of the testing. Reality is that samples never brought for testing and reports were forged. Dr. Gaya Prasad submitted the final report on the basis of so-called testing on 12 January 2015, that is 25 days ahead of the completion of the so-called FMD vaccine testing. The report was submitted to High Court, Lucknow, bench saying that it was accepted by the Council. However, council replied to me that the committee report is still under inquiry. From High Court, the same report was made available to IIL, Hyderabad but has not been given to me either on my requests or on my RTIs. On the basis of which IIL has filed a case against me, CCSNIAH, Baghpat, and Secretary, Agriculture, New Delhi at Civil Court Hyderabad).
The formulator of the committee, DDG AS and the Chairman of the committee to forge the fake report in support of producers of low-quality vaccine, both have been rewarded to benefit the producers of substandard vaccines by the post of Vice Chancellors and Expert in the Committee Dr. B Pattnaik is Director of ICAR-PDFMD despite doing embezzlement, charge-sheeted for forgery and facing a personal criminal case for doing forgery and I was made to resign within a week of my truthful report.
Sir, I request an early inquiry preferably by CBI to expose all involved in maligning the image of your honest government and syphoning the public money into their own accounts, please.
Sincerely yours
BR Singh

Subject- Request for an inquiry into ongoing corruption in vaccine testing and production at ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute, regarding.
Respected Sir,
Despite the use of vaccines, preventable diseases in animals are out of control every year killing millions of animals throughout India and thousands of cows dying even on Farms Managed by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research under Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. Sir, it is due to ongoing corruption in quality control of Veterinary vaccines carried out at –ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute as vaccine failure is the major cause of disease outbreaks and such incidences occurred on Government Farms, Private Farms and on Military Dairy Farms.
Sir, my humble request is that a high-level inquiry by an independent agency should be carried out for-
1. Up to 2011, Indian Veterinary Research Institute used to produce veterinary vaccine in name of lack of GMP at Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar and old facility at Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Bengaluru. The facility for vaccine production at the Bengaluru unit was sold to a private company at a throw-away price; the same facility is in use for vaccine production by the purchaser company.
2. For creation of GMP compliant facility, at Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar for production of vaccines, a full building was raised spending dozens of Crore rupees about a decade ago, and 36 Crores of rupees were given for furnishing the facility about four years back, but nothing has been done and Nationals Hard money has gone waste. Why is this going on-
ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute is the only agency for quality control testing of veterinary vaccines and biologicals in India and there is a lot of money in passing the vaccine without doing any testing. Testing is either not done or done in a biased way is clear by the facts-
a. Tested samples are not archived for more than a month at Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar or anywhere else for retesting in case of dispute.
b. The vaccines intended to be used as injections are never tested for their physical qualities like stability and emulsion quality.
c. Vaccines are never tested for Sterility as per prescribed protocol through testing 20 vials of a commercial batch. It is evident from the records that in only rarest of the rare instance they test more than 3 vials.
d. Vaccines are tested, if any, without following the guidelines for safety and potency.
Therefore, I request to kindly initiate an investigation to understand why the agencies to save the country have become traitors, to understand the circumstances under which spending billions of hard-earned rupees GMP facility is not functional even after decades of its installation at Indian Veterinary Research Institute, to identify the traitors and their motives. It is very urgent as we are aiming to double of farmers’ income through profitable livestock farming. If diseases will remain Farmers cannot sustain animal farming.
Yours Sincerely
BR Singh

| Grievance Description | : | Sir, I have filed complaint several times to all the officials in ICAR and President ICAR, Cabinet Minister Shri Radha Mohan Singh time and again to condemn the report of GOI Committee which gave a false report against me defying all the evidence just to harass me. On giving a truthful report about the quality of FMD Vaccine used in India, ICAR formed a committee against me. In case of disputes on quality of vaccines and other medicine, the Drug Controller General of India is the only authority to form such committees but the GOI committee for retesting of the vaccine was formed illegally by ICAR. The request on 10th November 2014 made by me to form an independent inquiry committee was not given any ear where I requested that the committee should have experts with experience in vaccine production, vaccine testing and a member from the DCGI. It was because of the mala-fide intentions to benefit the producers of substandard vaccines The illegal GOI committee having members with expertise in forgery forged the report. The report is based on illegal re-testing of the disputed vaccine batches. The facts are, that Samples tested at CCS NIAH by our team were not re-tested by the committee. Reserve copy of the samples, tested at CCS NIAH, available at IVRI, Bengaluru was also not tested by the committee. Defying all the rules of natural justice and free and fair proceedings, the disputed vaccine samples were collected a fresh directly or provided by the producers of substandard vaccine with prior information to them rather than collection from state depots where vaccines were available, or from State veterinary Hospital where vaccines were being used or from the market. Samples, if collected, were collected by unauthorized persons. Samples for retesting were never received at IVRI Izatnagar and IVRI failed to provide any proof of sample receipts in writing and also failed to show the samples physically. The samples were tested at IVRI, Izatnagar, a place not authorized to test FMD vaccine by DCGI. The testing, if any was done at IVRI, Izatnagar was completed on 6th February 2015 and the report by IVRI, Izatnagar was submitted on 7th February 2015. However, the GOi committee submitted its report based on the said testing 25 days ahead of the completion of the vaccine testing. The report is still with ICAR vigilance since last 2.5 years but it was submitted on 6th February 2015 to High Court at Lucknow claiming that it has been accepted by the Council to malign my image and to protect the substandard vaccine producers. Sir, here I request a high-level inquiry by CBI or any other suitable agency as this is the matter of embezzlement of thousands of crores. Moreover, the FMD causes more than 20 thousand crore rupees loss to country and Indian Government has invested thousands of crores since 2003 without any relief to the cow rearers.
