About the organization:
Till 1965 India’s borders with Pakistan were manned by the State Armed Police Battallion. Pakistan attacked Sardar Post, Chhar Bet and Beria Bet on 9 April, 1965 in Kutch. This exposed the inadequacy of the State Armed Police to cope with armed aggression due to which the Government of India felt the need for a specialized centrally controlled Border Security Force, which would be armed and trained to man the International Border with Pakistan. As a result of the recommendations of the Committee of Secretaries, the Border Security Force came into existence on 01 Dec 1965, and Shri K F Rustamji was the first chief and founding father. Promote a sense of security among the people living in the border areas. Prevent trans border crimes, unauthorized entry into or exit from the territory of India. Prevent smuggling and any other illegal activity. In the last few years the BSF has, in addition to their duties, been deployed for counter insurgency and internal security duties Holding ground in less threatened sectors. Protection of vital installations. Assistance in control of refugees. Anti-infiltration duties in specified areas. The BSF, in its 41 years of existence, has emerged as an elite force of the country having excelled with distinction in the 1971 war with Pakistan. Its ethos is “Any task, any time, any where” and the BSF has given blood and sweat to execute its motto “Duty Unto Death”. The concept of border fencing, flood lighting and construction of roads has been introduced with the aim to stop infiltration/exfiltration on the Western and Eastern borders. The BSF contributes every year a number of personnel for services for UN Mission in Kosovo and Bosnia. During the Kargil conflict in May-July 1999, the BSF remained on the heights of the mountains and defended the integrity of the country with all the might at its command in unison with the Army. BSF personnel have been performing Internal Security Duty in Manipur for the last two years and have been successfully fighting insurgency in those areas.During the earthquake in Gujarat on 26th January 2001, the BSF was the first to reach out to help the distressed people. During the communal disturbances in Gujarat recently, BSF personnel went all out to restore amity and brotherhood among the people. The BSF took over the erection of the border fencing in Jammu & Kashmir and it was successful in its task despite all attempts of Pakistan to scuttle our efforts. The BSF has been defending the borders along with the army and checking infiltration on the borders during the current standoff with Pakistan.On my assuming the office of DG BSF, I convey my Best Wishes to all the members of the Force and their families. I feel glad coming back to my old organization. I feel proud, privileged and grateful that I have been chosen to serve with you at the top, with a surging satisfaction that, at the pinnacle of my career, I am going to serve in the largest Paramilitary Force in the world. I return to you older, but with more experience, and without loss of valour, with better wisdom to accomplish our chief mission without any diminishment of initiative, and stronger determination to contribute to our better development in the coming days.
The BSF was born, out of crisis – in response to a hostile attack on our border. In that sense it is a child of crisis. However, since then, it has grown to become a frontline crisis manager. The price of the freedom of our countrymen has been high, sometimes, very high, and you from the BSF have paid it- with your toils, sweat and blood, and your bereaved families have paid it with tears ? for the last forty-four years. In addition to being a veteran of border security, the BSF is a frontline Counter-Insurgency Force, and has contributed to taming virulent insurgencies in different parts of India. Today, the chief business of the BSF is Border Security and Counter-Insurgency and my chief business as your chief is to make you the best in this in the world. I look forward to all senior officers in functional and administrative positions to always be tender in welfare matters, and firm in operational matters. While there is no room for malingerers and cowards in the BSF, room must always be made available for our overworked, overstressed and under-recognized performers. I expect all senior officers in administrative and functional positions to ensure that they respond with equal promptitude to welfare-oriented requests/suggestions from all their subordinates-senior and junior officers, without distinction. It is the least that we can do to ensure that we continue to remain a successful family. We live in the age of technology. As technology becomes more common, criminals and elements hostile to our country use it to further their ends faster. We must incorporate technology at a rate faster than the enemies of public order do. This is a minimal organizational imperative. I request senior officers to come up with plans for the continuous incorporation of the latest technology and developments into our Force in a strategic and tactical manner. Although I am a philosophical man, the realities of life as a law enforcement professional for 36 years have made me a practical leader: I refuse to believe in an ill fate that would fall on us, no matter what we did; I believe in a fate that would befall us, if we did nothing !
