27 July - The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Raising Day

 

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Raising Day is celebrated on July 27th every year. The CRPF is one of the largest paramilitary forces in India and plays a crucial role in maintaining internal security, counter-insurgency operations, and assisting in various law enforcement duties across the country.

The CRPF was established on July 27, 1939, under the name "Crown Representative's Police" during British colonial rule in India. After India gained independence in 1947, the force was renamed as the Central Reserve Police Force. Over the years, the CRPF has been involved in numerous operations and has faced various challenges, including maintaining peace in conflict zones, disaster management, and providing security during elections.

On its Raising Day, the CRPF commemorates its founding and pays tribute to its personnel who have displayed exceptional courage and dedication in the line of duty. The day is marked with various events and celebrations held at CRPF establishments across the country, and it provides an opportunity to acknowledge the sacrifices made by its personnel to safeguard the nation's security.
