The Border Security Force (BSF) was established on 1 December 1965. BSF is a paramilitary force, responsible for guarding India’s border during peace time and preventing international crime. The BSF was established after the 1965 war with Pakistan with the aim of strengthening the security of the country’s border. The Border Security Force, which guards the borders of Pakistan and Bangladesh, is one of the five central armed forces of India.
BSF is currently the world’s largest border security force with 186 battalions and 2.57 lakh personnel. The BSF is a central government agency working under the administrative control of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the motto of the force is ‘Duty Unto Death’.
The Border Security Force was established on 1 December 1965.
BSF is the only Central Armed Police Force with its own Air Wing, Marine Wing and Artillery Regiment. BSF also has a Tier Smoke Unit (TSU), which is unique in India. The TSU is responsible for producing the tear gas weapons needed for anti-riot forces. It also exports it to other countries.
The BSF has a separate camel and dog wing, which helps them to expand their reach in difficult terrains like the India-Pakistan border in the Rann of Kutch.
The BSF has now deployed its first batch of women personnel on the border to carry out routine frisking of women as well as other duties performed by their male counterparts, including border guarding.
