There is good news for young people preparing to build a career in national service.

There is a proposal to recruit a total of 55,000 personnel. Specifically, there is a plan to raise 53 new battalions within the CAPFs. A proposal regarding this matter has been submitted by the CAPFs to the Ministry of Home Affairs. According to media reports, this proposal is currently under serious consideration and is expected to receive approval shortly. Once the proposal is approved, the new battalions will be established, leading to the recruitment of 55,000 personnel across the CAPFs.

Let us delve into the details of this entire matter. For instance, we will explore the specifics of the proposal to raise 53 new battalions within the CAPFs. We will also find out exactly how many personnel are proposed to be recruited for each specific force—including the ITBP, CRPF, BSF, and other CAPFs.

22,000 Personnel to be Recruited in the CRPF
According to available information, details regarding this matter were recently presented in the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament). Dr. Radha Mohan Das, Chairman of the Department-Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, tabled a report concerning this issue in the Rajya Sabha. The 257th Report, tabled in the Rajya Sabha, states that a proposal to raise 53 new battalions within the CAPFs has been submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs; under this proposal, there is a specific plan to raise 20 new battalions within the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The creation of these 20 additional battalions will result in the recruitment of 22,000 personnel for the CRPF. Thus, out of a total of 55,000 personnel, 22,000 alone will be recruited into the CRPF.
