The centre is associated with the Vivekananda International Foundation (VIF), the think tank that used to be headed by Ajit Doval, now the national security adviser. Sources in the defence ministry said that although Chander would technically serve till January 31, he had been attached to the PMO. He was to have met a delegation from a western country this morning but the appointment was cancelled. Defence minister Parrikar has said that things will happen in the DRDO. In the weeks ahead, the DRDO will have to be consulted on important technology-transfer issues with the US.
