The BSF, the biggest border guard force in the world, declared young Indian batsman Virat Kohli would serve as its brand ambassador in 2013. The Border Security Force (BSF) brought in Virat Kohli to increase the force’s appeal. The BSF has 2.5 lakh men and is primarily responsible for guarding two important Indian borders with Bangladesh and Pakistan. As of 2013, he serves as the brand ambassador.
What is BSF?
India’s border guarding force at its borders with Bangladesh and Pakistan is called the Border Security Force (BSF). One of India’s seven Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), was established in the wake of the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War to secure India’s borders and other related affairs.
It has various active roles during an outbreak of war. CAPF facilitates a navy, air wing, and artillery division. The Ministry of Home Affairs oversees it. In addition to performing a range of duties related to preserving internal security, the BSF, commanded by the Ministry of home affairs, is also responsible for carrying out anti-Naxal operations throughout the nation.
According to a senior BSF official, Kohli’s outstanding accomplishments in cricket and the military’s unwavering reputation for hard work in maintaining national security will draw young people and inspire them to join the force.
