and in time. At the level of the state and at lower levels a number of nonprofessional factors intrude. This starts at the level of the police stations. I venture to give a few of the requirements which may bring about an improvement in the capacity to assist in management of the internal security. 3 There is an obvious need to reduce the width of the spectrum of duties to be handled by the force. It should be scrupulously kept away from deployment in routine law and order duties. Unfortunately, once the force is placed at the disposal of the states this call is taken out of the hands of the CRPF officers. The Group of Ministers on reforming National Security System had reiterated that it should act as a “striking reserve”. Many guidelines have been issued by the Union Government but they have not always been observed. Deployments at the state and local levels have to be decided on the basis of a definite plan and in active 3 Central Reserve Police Force 73 Years Central of Reserve Dedicated Police Service Force 73 Years of Glorious Existence consultation with the CRPF officers in appropriate positions. Even the threat of withdrawal, which is never invoked, has failed to make a dent in the practice of retaining the force for long periods and loosely controlled deployments. Modernising training programmes and introducing strategic training systems to cater for the rapid changes in environment. Massive injection of resources and highest level of instructional staff should be provided. The importance of making training institutions centres of excellence is not always selfevident to powers that be. No compromises should be permitted in the content and duration of training courses, especially including basic training. Too much stretching of training facilities can lead to dilution in training and would be counterproductive. In this context sudden expansion of the force should give way to phased inductions, which are possible if forward planning is made. Training should make each individual feel confident of fully and competently handling the job he/she is required to do. Specialised training facilities of other organizations and even foreign institutions should be judiciously utilized. Operational autonomy to the officers is a requirement if we envisage high level of performance. Due to dispersed deployment in large areas under immediate supervision of state authorities, the close touch, active guidance and strict control of the officers of the force- a hallmark of CRPF is not always visible. If this goal is to be achieved than the unit should not be dispersed, the level of force required for a given task has to be determined in consultation with the force officers, intelligence inputs made available to them and the unit should be asked to complete the operation. This, in no way, dilutes the powers of the state government or the federal structure. CRPF has the richest bank of experience in the field of handling
law and order situations and countering insurgency, terrorism and militancy. In the present scheme of things CRPF is the premier central police organization which is handling these tasks. There is very little faithful chronicling of incidents as it is feared that even honest mistakes would mean visitation of punishments. In the process shortcomings are glossed over and many valuable lessons are lost for ever. There is no better method of learning than analyzing mistakes as well as adopting successful practices. Actually preparing realistic case studies, which involve a lot of effort and expertise, would go a long way not only in improving its own performance but would also be of great help to other police organizations in the centre and the states. CRPF is arguably the largest armed police organization in the world with nearly 226 battalions and various other units. The personnel work under very harsh and demanding conditions. Being a highly mobile force they face considerable disruption in their family commitments. Although every effort is made to provide basic living comforts at their work stations but conditions are not always ideal. In most deployments they face real danger, even to their lives. Taking these factors into consideration the need for a proactive, generous and protective role of the officers is obvious. This would mean a conscious and close interaction of the officers and men. There is an established actuarial method by which realistic leave, training and medical leave reserves can be calculated. It is an unfortunate fact that financial considerations almost always prevail and lead to minimizing the actual numbers required so that the physical, emotional and social needs of personnel, especially in the lower ranks, are met in terms of adequate leave, family living accommodations and dependent’s education etc. Considerable more resources and attention needs to be given to these aspects. The Central Reserve Police Force has always shown commendable capability of adapting its profile and work habits to master the escalating and varying challenges thrown at them during the last more than seven decades. With there capacity to scan the horizons and anticipating the changes in the Internal Security scenario they will more than justify their status as the “Peace Keepers of the Nation”.
