CISF’s 53rd Raising Day Ceremony

CISF (Central Industrial Security Forces), since its inception on 10th March, 1969 has come a long way, and played a major role in the protection and security of industrial undertakings in the country. The Central Industrial Security Force(CISF) was established with 3 battalions. Each battalion provided integrated security to the public sector undertakings (PSUs). It is no longer a PSU-centric force.

The CISF soldier has always been recognised as multi-skilled and talented candidate, and his contribution has increased manifold over the years. Started with just 3000 crew members, CISF has now the strength of over 1,70,000 members. With time CISF has evolved to become the multi-skill security agency of the country mandated to provide security to the major installations across the country.
