The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is the largest of the Central Armed Forces of India. It operates under the aegis of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MHA) of the Government of India. The main function of the CRPF lies in assisting the State / Union Territories in police operations to maintain law and order and combat insurgency. He came to exist as a Police Officer of the Crown Representative on July 27, 1939. After the Independence of India, he became the Central Reserve Police Force on the promulgation of the CRPF Law on December 28, 1949.
In addition to law and order and counterinsurgency duties, CRPF's role in the general elections, held repeatedly over the past few years, has been very important and vital. This is especially true for the problems of the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar and in the Northeast. During the parliamentary elections of September 1999, the CRPF played an important role in security arrangements. Recently, CRPF contingents are also being deployed to UN missions. With 235 battalions and several other establishments, the CRPF is considered the largest paramilitary force in India and has a sanctioned force of 308,862.
The mission of the Central Reserve Police Force will be to enable the government to maintain the rule of law, public order and internal security in an effective and efficient manner to preserve National Integrity and Promote Harmony and Social Development while maintaining supremacy Of the Constitution.
In carrying out these tasks with the utmost respect for the human dignity and freedom of the citizens of India, the force will strive to achieve excellence in the management of domestic security and national calamities by placing Service and Loyalty Above himself.
