The Border Security Force (BSF) is the Border Service branch of the Central Armed Police Force. It is an organization responsible for guarding the border, particularly the India’s borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is under the command of the Ministry of Home Affairs and was formed in the wake of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 for ensuring the security of the borders of India and for connected matters therewith.[1][2]
The BSF has grown from 25 battalions in 1965, to 192 battalions with a sanctioned strength of 270,000 personnel including an expanding air wing, water wing, an artillery regiment and specialised units.[3][4] It is currently the world's largest border security force. BSF has been termed the First Line of Defence of Indian territories.[5]
