CRPF Foundation Day is observed every year on July 27 to commemorate the establishment of the Central Reserve Police Force, which was originally formed in 1939 as the Crown Representative’s Police. In 2026, the force celebrated its 87th Foundation Day, recognising the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of CRPF personnel. The CRPF plays a crucial role in maintaining internal security, conducting counter-terrorism and anti-insurgency operations, ensuring peaceful elections, controlling riots, protecting vital installations, and providing disaster relief. It also participates in United Nations peacekeeping missions, reflecting India's commitment to global peace and security.
