Bhubaneshwar: Union Minister Nityanand Rai said Tuesday that the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) force is a source of pride for the whole nation due to their important contributions to public service, internal security, and border security.

The Union Minister of State congratulated all of the courageous ITBP troops on their 63rd Raising Day and sent his warmest regards.

“The entire nation is proud of ITBP,” Rai told reporters during the 63rd ITBP Raising Day Ceremony. ITBP contributes to border security, internal security, and public service to the fullest extent possible. I want to express my sincere congratulations and best wishes to all of the courageous warriors on this important occasion of ITBP’s founding day.

In the Odisha district of Khordha, the 63rd ITBP Raising Day Ceremony was held, complete with a procession. ITBP jawans demonstrated their abilities during counterterrorism and rescue operations demonstrations.

ITBP jawans have made significant services to the nation, according to Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai, who attended the function earlier.

“The unrelenting efforts of our young jawans keep our country’s frontiers secure, particularly those that are snow-covered and the high peaks of chilly areas. Despite working in harsh environments—temperatures may drop as low as minus fifty degrees—their tenacity, bravery, and dedication guarantee the security of our country. The ITBP’s efforts are something that the whole nation is proud of,” the Union Minister remarked.

“The ITBP is trusted by the Prime Minister and the Home Minister, and it is essential to protecting our nation’s borders,” Nityanand Rai said. Today, we commemorate the ITBP’s enduring success on its foundation day. An opponent lacks the guts to oppose the ITBP when it is in front of them. I hope the ITBP has more success in the years to come.

Rai said, “India will become a developed country by 2047 following the vision of our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Every person in our affluent India should be considered the greatest in the world, and our borders must always be secure.

The Union Minister underlined that development can only be made when there is internal peace, which is fundamental to a country’s security.

Under PM Modi’s direction, he praised the ITBP and other Central Armed Police Forces for their steadfast dedication to achieving India’s goal of becoming a developed country.

“Only when there is internal peace can a country be considered really safe. We can advance development when we have this sensation of calm. Under the direction of the Prime Minister, the ITBP and the other Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) institutions are resolutely dedicated to achieving India’s goal of becoming a developed country. In order to assure India’s bright and secure future, the ITBP has made major contributions to this cause and is still working tirelessly,” he added.
