The minister was speaking at the CISF’s 54th Raising Day event held at the National Industrial Security Academy campus at Hakimpet.
He said as a result of the government’s stringent action in the past nine years, many are laying down arms and joining the mainstream.
The Union home minister said that over the past 53 years, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has played a key role in the nation’s financial growth by securing airports, seaports, vital installations and industries.
Lauding their contribution to preventing the use of fake currency, narcotics and also infiltration, he encouraged them to be prepared to face new challenges with the same spirit.
“Only when these areas are safe and secure, can any nation progress and compete with the world in the international area and I, on behalf of the Union home ministry, thank every member of the CISF for these great services to the nation,” he said.
Shah also said he was elated that the Raising Day, for the first time, was taking place outside the national capital in the “gauravmay shahar (glorious city).”
Reminding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aim to make India a USD 5 Trillion economy, Shah said that he hopes CISF will continue to play a key role.
“As the nation prepares to celebrate the centenary of Independence, I’m sure you will deliver the same service that you have been delivering during the past 53 years,” he said.
Shah also paid tributes to CISF personnel who died in the line of duty, highlighting its role as the first responder during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“With their humane approach, they have served the nation while putting themselves at risk. In this effort, some of them have even sacrificed their lives,” he said.
The Union minister also highlighted how the CISF has been keeping up with technological advancements by using robotics, AI, drones and other advanced improvements.
Shah also said that the CISF was the only one among all CAPFs to have a state-of-the-art firefighting facility, referring to the Fire Service Training Institute.
