The Border Security Force (BSF) celebrated its 61st Raising Day on 1 December 2025, marking six decades since its formation in 1965 after the Indo-Pak war. Over the years, BSF has grown into the world’s largest border-guarding force, responsible for securing India’s borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh, and supporting security along the Myanmar frontier and coastal areas.
BSF plays a crucial role in preventing infiltration, smuggling, and cross-border crimes, along with participating in counter-insurgency operations in Jammu & Kashmir and the Northeast. The force is also known for its contributions in humanitarian relief, disaster management, and UN peacekeeping missions.
