Popularly known as ‘Himveers’, ITBP personnel serve in high-altitude border areas characterised by freezing temperatures, difficult terrain and extreme weather. Their duties demand physical endurance, discipline and constant vigilance to maintain security along the country’s frontiers.

The force plays a crucial role in protecting India’s borders, with its personnel operating in some of the most challenging geographical conditions. Their ability to carry out demanding duties in severe weather underscores the importance of their contribution to national security.

Shah’s Raising Day message honoured both serving personnel and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country, highlighting the courage, determination and dedication that define the ITBP’s service to the nation.
