Valour Day, also known as Shaurya Diwas, is observed by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in India on April 9th each year. This day commemorates the sacrifice and bravery of CRPF personnel in defending the country and maintaining internal security.
The significance of April 9th for the CRPF dates back to 1965 when a small contingent of the CRPF repulsed a sustained attack by Pakistani infiltrators in the Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, during the India-Pakistan War of 1965. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the CRPF personnel displayed extraordinary courage and determination, successfully defending their position against the enemy.
In recognition of their valour and sacrifice, April 9th was chosen as Valour Day to honor the bravery and dedication of CRPF personnel. On this day, ceremonies, events, and tributes are organized by the CRPF to pay homage to the fallen soldiers and to inspire the current generation of personnel to uphold the highest standards of courage, integrity, and service to the nation.
Valour Day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by CRPF personnel in the line of duty and highlights the vital role played by the CRPF in safeguarding the nation's security and maintaining peace and order. It is a day to honor the brave men and women of the CRPF and express gratitude for their service and sacrifice.
