CISF Raising Day is observed every year on March 10 to commemorate the establishment of the Central Industrial Security Force in 1969 under the CISF Act, 1968. The day recognises the dedication, bravery and service of CISF personnel who protect India’s critical infrastructure. Initially formed with just three battalions and about 2,800 personnel, the force has grown significantly over the decades to more than 1,88,000 members. CISF plays a crucial role in safeguarding airports, metro networks, nuclear power plants, seaports and major government establishments. Various events such as ceremonial parades, awards and community programs are organized across the country to honour the contributions of the force.
