Difference between Indians army and Indian Paramilitary force

Difference between Indians army and Indian Paramilitary force


 The Indian Army and paramilitary forces both play crucial roles in India's security, but they differ in structure, responsibilities, and functions. Here's a brief explanation:

Indian Army

  • Primary Role: Defend the nation against external aggression and safeguard its borders.
  • Command: Operates under the Ministry of Defence.
  • Structure: A professional and full-time military force with well-defined ranks and training.
  • Deployment: Engages in war, border security (like LOC and LAC), and peacekeeping missions abroad.
  • Jurisdiction: Works on external and high-intensity conflicts.
  • Examples: Infantry, Artillery, Armored Corps.

Paramilitary Forces

  • Primary Role: Maintain internal security, assist in border security, and support the Indian Army during emergencies.
  • Command: Operates under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
  • Structure: Semi-military forces with distinct roles, less intensive training compared to the Army.
  • Deployment: Handles internal security, counter-insurgency operations, disaster management, and election duties.
  • Jurisdiction: Focused on internal security and low-intensity conflicts.
  • Examples:
    • Border Security Force (BSF): Guards India's borders.
    • Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF): Manages law and order and counter-insurgency.
    • Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP): Secures the India-China border.

In summary, the Indian Army focuses on external defense, while paramilitary forces focus on internal security and assist the Army when needed.
