Long Speech on Raising Day of ITBP in English

The Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force was formed and raised on October 24, 1962. It was a strategic decision taken to reorganise the security and frontier intelligence along the Indo-China border. The ITBP will celebrate its  61st Raising Day this year. The force pledges the motto  “Shaurya-Dridhata-Karma Nishtha” which means ‘Valour – Determination – Devotion to Duty’ in English.

The ITBP is one of the seven Central Armed Police Forces of India. The CAPFs are responsible for Internal Security, guarding the international border during peacetime and assist the Armed Forces during war. The role of CAPF is considered to be one of the toughest as it asks them to serve and protect the nation both during peace and war.

The ITBP was headed by an Inspector General when it was raised. IG Balbir Singh was tasked to guard the Line of Actual Control with 4 battalions in the year 1962. With time the responsibility of the force grew, and as of now, it has 7 frontiers to which 15 sectors report. These 15 sectors together command the 90,000 personnel of 60 battalions which guard the Indo-China border.

Under the Government of India’s ‘One Border One Force’ policy, the entire 3488 km stretch of the India-China Border was tasked to the ITBP in the year 2004, replacing the Assam Rifles from the Sikkim and Arunachal Sector.

The ITBP was raised under the CRPF Act. In 1996, the Parliament of India then passed the Into-Tibetan Border Police Act, of 1992. Currently, the ITBP is equipped with the latest gadgets and vehicles to overcome tough challenges. The force is home to many canine friends and trains dogs of several Police Forces at its Training Center. Apart from guarding the Indo-China Border, the ITBP is placed at several internal security locations. Troops of ITBP are deployed at various embassies and at UN Missions abroad.
