Border Security Force (BSF)
BORDER SECURITY FORCE
Till 1965, India’s borders with Pakistan were manned by the State Armed Police Battalion. Pakistan attacked Sardar Post, Chhar Bet and Beria Bet on April 9, 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 (BSF) came into existence on December 1, 1965 and Shri K F Rustamji was the first chief. The coat of arms of the BSF shows the acronym ‘BSF’ in dark blue colour garlanded by golden twig of leaves. Below is the motto of the of the force on a golden bordered red ribbon in Devnagiri. Crest of the force epitomizes the force motto ‘Duty Unto Death’ - ‘जीवन पर्यन्त कर्तव्य’ has Ashoka lion pillar on top of the emblem.
