The CRPF is the largest Central Armed Police Force, which is fully committed to its multi-dimensional role, by being deployed along the length and breadth of the country. The CRPF is an important component of our national security apparatus. The Officers and men of the CRPF have set high traditions of valour, courage and dedication to duty. The brave men and women of the Force have served the nation in an exemplary manner, demonstrating highest levels of professionalism, courage and discipline, whether performing internal security duties or understanding civic action programmes, uner most trying circumstances, in various parts of the country.

I have always held the CRPF in high esteem for its dedication, commitment and for its ability in peforming duties in difficult conditions. The professional prowess it has exhibited in tackling the menace on the Left Wing Extremism front and militancy in J&K, is praiseworthy. The CRPF personnel gave a bold account of themselves at Hot Spring on 21st October, 1959 while checking the Chineese advance and on 9th April, 1965 two companies of CRPF repulsed a full fledged brigade attack of Pakistan Army at the Sardar Post in the Rann of Kutch. Our Force was instrumental in foiling fidayeen attack on the Parliament in 2001 and on the disputed Ayodhya Shrine in 2005.

My greeting and good wishes to all Officers and personnel. CRPF jawans deserves my special compliments. I am confident that the Force will continue to dedicate itself to the service of Nation and develop its vision for impending challenges of internal security.
