Objection-I: The name of the co-author: P.K.Srivastava (from AMD)  has been removed and the name of another co-author: R. Pavanaguru( other than AMD: Emeritus Professor, Department of Geology, Osmania University, Hyderabad )  has been added ( Strong Objection No1) and sequence of co-authors( V. Ramesh Babu and A. K. Chaturvedi) changed( Strong Objection No2). The co-author-Anjan Chaki is Ex-Director, AMD and Raja Rammna Fellow of DAE. Such addition or deletion of co-authorship without any scientific contribution is violation of ethics for scientific publication and its publication in  Journal Geological Society of India, Vol.,85,June 2015, pp.657-672( Strong Objection No3)

 In both these papers, V. Ramesh Babu is the corresponding author.  Moreover, there is no reference of conference paper cited in this publication. It is clearly a case of plagiarism and fraud.   ( Strong Objection No4)

Objection-II: On further careful search on google/google scholar/scopus/research gate and other searches, it has been found that this is the only paper originated from the Ph.D.Thesis of Mr.Anand Kumar Chaturvedi  under the Guidance of Prof. R.Pavanaguru ( Retd. Professor) in the thesis titled: Annexure-II-AKC-PHDLIB.pdf) –file attached.

“Integrated Geological, Geochemical, Geophysical, Remote Sensing, and GIS Studies on the Controls of uranium Mineralisation in the Proterozoic Kunjar - Darjing Basin in Odisha, India” for the award of Ph.D. degree in Geology, Department of Geology, Osmania University, Hyderabad, 2013”.

It is worth to be stated here that Mr. Anand Kumar Chaturvedi is holding Senior position: Additional Director ( Research & Development), Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research, Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India,  Hyderabad.

Based on material evidence, It is clearly a case of plagiarism and fraud Doctorate Degree.

Working Paper: Letter to the Editor: Query related to publication titled “The Role of GIS in Spatial Modeling of Multi-disciplinary Geoscientific Data for Uranium Exploration over the Kunjar-Darjing Basin, Odisha” by Chaturvedi, Anand Kumar, Ramesh Babu Veldi , Markandeyulu Amulotu, R.Pavanaguru and Anjan Chaki published in Journal Geological Society of India, Vol.,85,June 2015, pp.657-672

Oh, well. You should work with ethics, I think. Would you be so kind as to perform research on Florica Cirstea and find someone who know the language of Rumenia? Sorry if I misspell Ru. She told me she already had a PhD in Ru before coming to Australia, and, in this case, I think her thesis here was probably a translation of her thesis there. She then would have graduated again here with no merit. I  would be very interested in that. I also would be interested in seeing the PhD thesis of Sever Dragomir and Graham Priest, jjust because I think both don't have one. Same with Patricia Petersen. I don't think she has one. I would be very curious about those.

SPATIAL MODELLING OF MULTI-DISCIPLINARY GEOSCIENTIFIC DATA FOR URANIUM EXPLORATION OVER THE KUNJAR-DARJING BASIN, ORISSA – A GIS

APPROACH

[email protected]

Application of Geographical Information System (GIS) for identifying the spatial locations of target areas for uranium exploration using multi-disciplinary geoscientific data is presented in this paper. The data sets used in this study are Airborne Gamma Ray Spectrometric (AGRS), Aeromagnetic (AM),Satellite images, regional ground gravity and geochemical surveys over one of the promising mobile Proterozoic Kunjar-Darjing basins to the west of Singhbum Uranium Province (SUP), Orissa, India. All these data sets are processed and interpreted independently in terms of geology based on characteristics such as intensity, frequency and texture of the images generated. Various ratio maps generated from AGRS data were used as training points for spatial modeling by building relationships (topology) with the structures and geology interpreted from the magnetic and gravity datasets. This study shows that integrating the geological, geophysical, geochemical and other geodata in a GIS environment provides valuable guidelines for geological mapping as well as identifying target areas for uranium exploration.

Note: This paper was presented in international conference with official permission as per official records. (Annexure-IV)

Objection-I: The name of the co-author: P.K.Srivastava (from AMD)  has been removed and the name of another co-author: R. Pavanaguru( other than AMD: Emeritus Professor, Department of Geology, Osmania University, Hyderabad )  has been added ( Strong Objection No1) and sequence of co-authors( V. Ramesh Babu and A. K. Chaturvedi) changed( Strong Objection No2). The co-author-Anjan Chaki is Ex-Director, AMD and Raja Rammna Fellow of DAE. Such addition or deletion of co-authorship without any scientific contribution is violation of ethics for scientific publication and its publication in  Journal Geological Society of India, Vol.,85,June 2015, pp.657-672( Strong Objection No3)

 In both these papers, V. Ramesh Babu is the corresponding author.  Moreover, there is no reference of conference paper cited in this publication. It is clearly a case of plagiarism and fraud.   ( Strong Objection No4)

Objection-II: On further careful search on google/google scholar/scopus/research gate and other searches, it has been found that this is the only paper originated from the Ph.D.Thesis of Mr.Anand Kumar Chaturvedi  under the Guidance of Prof. R.Pavanaguru ( Retd.

It is worth to be stated here that Mr. Anand Kumar Chaturvedi is holding Senior position: Additional Director ( Research & Development), Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research, Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India,  Hyderabad.

Based on material evidence, It is clearly a case of plagiarism and fraud.

 It is  requested to the Editor, Journal Geological Society of India, to take appropriate strong action such as asking the authors to withdraw the paper with warning that the journal would ban the publication of any paper from any of the authors and the matter would be reported to their employer(s) for suitable action, etc.

Sub: Request for Retraction of  Ph.D.Degree awarded to Dr. Ashwani Kumar Rai and Dr. Syed Zakaulla in lieu of DAE-BRNS funding- Academic fraud in lieu of funding of major research projects  to university professors-Regd.

Ref: 1.my letter dated 16-08-2016, 19-04-2017 and all the letters  till date on the above subject.

2. Your office letter Dated 23-02-2017 and 24-04-2017.

3.Your office letter No. Ex.9.2/Ph.D./Misc/2017-18 dated 01-07-2017 attached with Legal Advisor opinion report, of University of Mysore, Mysore.

Kindly refer Your office letter Dated 23-02-2017 and 24-04-2017 and Your office letter No. Ex.9.2/Ph.D./Misc/2017-18 dated 01-07-2017 attached with Legal Advisor opinion report, of University of Mysore, Mysore, my letter dated  16-08-2016, 27-04-2017 , 22-05-2017 and all the letters till date on the above subject.

 I have read very carefully the legal advisor opinion report vide your office letter No. Ex.9.2/Ph.D./Misc/2017-18 dated 01-07-2017 attached with Legal Advisor opinion report, of University of Mysore, Mysore. Yes, it is expected but unfortunately the facts are entirely different.  I may kindly be permitted to say that the reply is unethical, unscientific and promoter of scientific misconducts without any detailed investigation by independent body in view of the serious concern expressed therein. Such scientific misconducts, if noticed, should never be encouraged and are highly dangerous for the growth of science and development of the prestigious organizations in our country.

It is very unfortunate and surprising that based on material evidences provided by the University of Mysore authorities and  my RTI letter and subsequent appeals even under RTI Act-2005,  the final action on retraction of Ph.D.Degree awarded to Dr. Ashwani Kumar Rai and Dr. Syed Zakaulla is still pending. Now the facts on material evidences cannot be suppressed and manipulated. In brief again the facts are as given below:

1.Date of Registration:  Both candidates , Mr. Syed Zakaulla ( Enrollment No. WOF-1184/09-10 ) and Mr. Ashwani Kumar Rai  ( Enrollment No. WOF-1185/09-10) got registered for their Ph.D. Degree in Geology, University of Mysore,  on 03-07-2009. ( July 03, 2009).

2.Date of Symposium Presentation: 26th to 28th August 2009,  at  Hyderabad.

All four  papers are based on symposium presentations on" Advances in Atomic Mineral Science in India during the 50-year period 1959-2009"(AAMSI-5909) from 26th to 28th August 2009,  at  Hyderabad as a part of the Homi J.Bhabha Golden Jubille Celebrations of the Minerological Society of India and the Centenary Celebration of Dr. Homi J.Bhabha during August, 2009.

3.Both Ph.D. candidates are authors in these symposium presentations ( all 4 papers). (Strong Objection no. 1. It is a case of plagiarism and fraud in both these thesis work.).

No candidate can finish Ph.D.Thesis work in a month duration (Strong Objection No2).

Four papers have been published as stated as per the details given below:

(a)DEFORMATION MECHANISMS RELATED TO URANIUM MINERALISATION-EXAMPLE FROM MULLAPALLE SHEAR ZONE, KADAPA DISTRICT, ANDHRA PRADESH,

Authors: S.ZAKAULLA, A.K. RAI, K. UMAMAHESHWAR, P.B.MAITHANI AND

                ANJAN CHAKI, ( Total 5- Authors)

The Indian Minerologist, Vol. 44, No.1, January, 2010, pp. 81-86.

(b)GEOCHEMISTRY OF URANIFERROUS GRANITE MYLONITES AROUND LAKKIREDDIPALLE AREA , SOUTH WESTERN MARGIN OF CUDDAPAH BASIN, ANDHRA PRADESH,

     Authors: SYED ZAKAULLA, A.K. RAI, K. UMAMAHESHWAR, P.S. PARIHAR    

                     AND  P.B.MAITHANI, ( Total 5- Authors)

The Indian Minerologist, Vol. 45, No.1, January, 2011, pp. 62-74.

( Above (a) and (b) are  Ph.D.Thesis paper of SYED ZAKAULLA)

      (c) PETROGRAPHIC CHARATERISTICS OF DOLOSTONES FROM AREAS AROUND KANNAMPALLE IN SOUTH WESTERN MARGIN OF CUDDAPAH BASIN,

Authors: A.K.RAI, SANGEETA BHAGAT, SURESH KUMAR, R.P.SINGH AND S.ZAKAULLA,       ( Total 5- Authors)

The Indian Minerologist, Vol. 44, No.1, January, 2010, pp. 74-80.

(d) GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE URANIFERROUS DOLOSTONES FROM AREAS AROUND KANNAMPALLE IN SOUTH WESTERN MARGIN OF CUDDAPAH BASIN,

Authors: A.K.RAI, S.ZAKAULLA, D.VIDYASAGAR, M.G.MURGAN, M.K.BIRUA,

                AND R. SIVASUBRAMANIAN, ( Total 6- Authors)

The Indian Minerologist, Vol. 45, No.1, January, 2011, pp. 24-35.

(Above (c) and (d) are Ph.D.thesis paper of A.K.RAI and (a) and (b) are Ph.D.thesis paper of S. ZAKAULLA)

4.    Ph.D.Thesis is always the original contribution of the candidate carried out under the supervision of the Guide ( Strong Objection No.3). 

5. The names of their Ph.D. Thesis Guides are missing. Out of both these Ph.D candidates as authors  and other five or six authors from the candidate departmental colleague from Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research(AMDER) in all the four symposium presentations, the claim of the originality of their research work in their Ph.D.Thesis is -absolutely incorrect (Strong objection No 4). What is the percentage contribution of each Ph.D. candidate in their Ph.D.Thesis work? (Strong objection no. 5). It is a case of plagiarism and fraud in both these thesis work.)

 All co-authors in symposium presentations/publications are from Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research(AMD). ( Strong objection No6 -No name of Ph.D.Guide in papers). How their Ph.D. Guides have certified the originality of the research work carried out by respective candidates in their Ph.D.Thesis,  is absolutely wrong. 6. ( Strong Objection No.7).

7.  Moreover, There is no documentary reference or /evidence in the manuscript as well as even in acknowledgement, as stated in their attendance certificates stated as quote “  …..was in residence with me in our Department to carry out his research work related to Ph.D.thesis…..” unquote. These are fake certificates and has no material evidences. ( Strong ObjectionNo8)-Absolutely a Fraud.

8. All cited references in these publications are prior to July 2009 ( Prior to their Ph.D.Degree registration on 03-07-2009. All references in this symposium presentations and in their Ph.D. thesis  are prior to July, 2009 and published these symposium volume in 2010 and 2011, respectively.(Strong Objection No9: Absolutely a Fraud). These thesis are now available on ‘SHODGANGA’ uploaded on 8th January, 2016.

9. Based on this symposium, 22 papers were published in vol., 44 of   "The Indian Minerologist" and 25 papers were included in vol. 45,   in a symposium volume published by Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research, Hyderabad  in 2010 and 2011 respectively,  Edited by Anjan Chaki, K. Umamaheshwar and K. Shiv Kumar  ( All AMD superior authority). Prof. C. Srikantappa is the Secretary and Prof. S. Govindaiah, is Editor, of Minerological Society of India. Moreover, the details of these symposium volumes are not available on google, or Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration & Research(AMD) or Minerological Society of India websites. (Strong Objection No 10: These are symposium volumes and are not referred National journal-(Strong Objection No11).

10. The statement in their attendance certificates are absolutely wrong, quote  “ Published two research papers in the National journal related to earth science related to thesis work” . There are no regular volumes published by the ‘Minerological Society of India’ nor any publisher. These are symposium volumes and “the Indian Minerologist” is not a referred National journal.( Strong Objection No10). Absolutely incorrect-Fraud - not a referred National journal).

Since, there is no publication in referred journal and name of the guides are missing-A Gross violation of UGC norms. There is no material evidence of supervision of research work- A FRAUD Ph.D.Degree( Strong Objection No12).

11. It is worth to be noted that Prof. S. Govindaiah, Ph. D. guide of the candidate Mr. Syed  Zakaulla  has been working on DAE-BRNS Funded projects as stated below:    

(a)As the Co- Principal Investigator of a major research project entitled „Characterzation of ore forming fluids and fluid flow analyses in the Proterozoic unconformity type uranium deposits in Gogi in Bhima basin and Kaladgi basins, southern India. Funding agency: DAE-BRNS, Mumbai. Amount; Rs. 19,39,000-00 (1-3-2009-2-3-2012)

(b) As the Principal Investigator of a major research project entitled Nature and composition of fluids and their role in uranium mineralization in the basement granites, quarzites from Gulcheru- Pulivendla and Vempalle dolostones, Cuddapah basin, Andhra Pradesh. Funding agency: DAE-BRNS, Mumbai. Amount; Rs. 17, 61,000-00 (November2009- November 2012

(c)and also to Prof C. Srikantappa PI , DAE-BRNS Project ( Guide of A.K.Rai).

 Based on material evidences and stated facts in para(1) to (12) as above, it is very clear that both these candidates: Mr. Syed  Zakaulla ( Enrollment No. WOF-1184/09-10 ) (Presently, Regional Director, AMD, Bangalore)  and Mr. Ashwani Kumar Rai  ( Enrollment No. WOF-1185/09-10) ( Ex- Director, AMD, Hyderabad, Presently OSD-at AMD Bangalore) have not carried out any Ph.D. Thesis work. Such Ph.D. thesis  are unsuitable and Absolute Fraud. Academic fraud is a serious crime in lieu of funding of major research projects to university professors.

Academic fraud is a serious crime in lieu of funding of major research projects to university professors. This is gross misuse of position and power by Senior Scientific officers of Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research as a part time Ph.D.candidates serving on functional positions along with university Professors of University of Mysore, Mysore.  

In view of the serious concern expressed therein, there is no other second option left. Kindly confirm the final action on retraction of   both Ph.D. Degree awarded to them immediately on the ground of Scientific misconduct, plagiarism and Fraud.

Grievance Description

:

Sub: Request for detailed investigation by independent body for cancelation of National Geoscience Award - 2016 in the Section IV: Applied Geosciences, Field (x) Geophysics / Applied Geophysics conferred as Team award to: Dr. Anand Kumar Chaturvedi, AMDER, Hyderabad Shri Markandeyulu Amulothu, AMDER, Hyderabad Dr. Veldi Ramesh Babu, AMDER, Hyderabad Shri Shailesh Tripathi, AMDER, Hyderabad Ref: Registration number: MMINE/E/2017/00206, status as on date of action: July 7, 2017 with the details: NGA 2016 conferred by a 3 tier committee after considering the credentials of the Awardees. I thank you very much for your reply on Registration number: MMINE/E/2017/00206, status as on date of action: July 7, 2017 with the details: NGA 2016 conferred by a 3 tier committee after considering the credentials of the Awardees and also Registration number: MMINE/E/2017/00236 dated 18th July, 2017 with the details: The Competent Authority has informed that your request for immediate cancellation of NGA 2016 team award to AMDER Scientists and recovery of the award money cannot be addressed at this end as all issues regarding NGA are dealt by the MInistry of Mines, Govt. of India, New Delhi. Yes, it is expected but unfortunately the facts are entirely different. I may kindly be permitted to say that the reply is unethical, unscientific and promoter of scientific misconducts without any detailed investigation by independent body in view of the serious concern expressed therein. Such scientific misconducts, if noticed, should never be encouraged and are highly dangerous for the growth of science and development of the prestigious organizations in our country. My purpose of this communication is neither embarrassing nor punishment to anybody in the 3 tier committee, but to identify the mistakes\bias in the process of assessment/evaluation of the credentials of the awardees, if any, and rectification of mistakes\bias in the process by the Accepting authority/Competent authority.

Grievance Description

:

Sub: Request for detailed investigation by independent body for cancelation of National Geoscience Award - 2016 in the Section IV: Applied Geosciences, Field (x) Geophysics / Applied Geophysics conferred as Team award to: Dr. Anand Kumar Chaturvedi, AMDER, Hyderabad Shri Markandeyulu Amulothu, AMDER, Hyderabad Dr. Veldi Ramesh Babu, AMDER, Hyderabad Shri Shailesh Tripathi, AMDER, Hyderabad Ref: Registration number: MMINE/E/2017/00206, status as on date of action: July 7, 2017 with the details: NGA 2016 conferred by a 3 tier committee after considering the credentials of the Awardees. I thank you very much for your reply on Registration number: MMINE/E/2017/00206, status as on date of action: July 7, 2017 with the details: NGA 2016 conferred by a 3 tier committee after considering the credentials of the Awardees and also Registration number: MMINE/E/2017/00236 dated 18th July, 2017 with the details: The Competent Authority has informed that your request for immediate cancellation of NGA 2016 team award to AMDER Scientists and recovery of the award money cannot be addressed at this end as all issues regarding NGA are dealt by the MInistry of Mines, Govt. of India, New Delhi. Yes, it is expected but unfortunately the facts are entirely different. I may kindly be permitted to say that the reply is unethical, unscientific and promoter of scientific misconducts without any detailed investigation by independent body in view of the serious concern expressed therein. Such scientific misconducts, if noticed, should never be encouraged and are highly dangerous for the growth of science and development of the prestigious organizations in our country. My purpose of this communication is neither embarrassing nor punishment to anybody in the 3 tier committee, but to identify the mistakes\bias in the process of assessment/evaluation of the credentials of the awardees, if any, and rectification of mistakes\bias in the process by the Accepting authority/Competent authority. Moreover, for more reliable future evaluations of credentials of the awardees, there is a need to evolve detailed criteria for evaluation of different attributes of the National Geoscience Awardee. Otherwise, such type of human errors will continue to remain in future also in the assessment /evaluation of the credentials of the awardees and will depend on the 3-tier committee members /Officers holding responsible positions, should be independent and impartial in the discharge of their official duties.

My remarks and further request: The reply details: Dr. DP Rathore may take the grievance against the officials of AMDER in AMDER Head Office, has no meaning and it amounts to promoting of corruption instead of strong action against all superior authority of Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research including officials of ministry of Mines associated with the processing of National Geoscience awards. The respected PM of India ,Shri Narendra Modi ji and his Government always talks about his fight for corruption with a slogan and policy "ZERO TOLERANCE AGAINST CORRUPTION" but in this case 'No Action' as on date in spite of all the material evidences for corruption involving superior authority-A big racket and Scandal in the Department of Atomic Energy Directly under Prime Minister of India. It is only slogan but no action to eliminate corruption in PMO and under Departments directly under PM of India and other Government departments ( Ministry of Mines).
