Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Out of 485 recruit constables of Border Security Force (BSF), as many as 269 (more than 55 per cent) were posted at Gujarat Border who were trained in BSF’s Subsidiary Training Centre on Monday.
A passing out parade for two batches 200 and 201 of recruit constables was organised at BSF STC Indore. ‘There are many challenges which we face during training as recruit constables come here as civilians and then they are transformed as soldiers,’ IG (BSF STC) AK Sharma who was the chief guest in the programme while talking to Free Press, said. ‘The training curriculum is designed in such a way, that along with making them physically strong they are also trained to become mentally robust.
They are trained to achieve their goals even in least availability of resources,’ he said. ‘They are trained in such stimulation that they go through intense mental pressure under which they have to take decision and find solution,’ he added.
We are making them from civilians to soldiers filled with discipline, punctuality and capability of completing given task. The drill develops quality of handling situation in compliance. I want to tell FREE PRESS readers to send your known and family members to join BSF as much as possible. Here you will get job satisfaction along with serving the nation Ashwini Kumar Sharma, Inspector General, Subsidiary Training Centre, BSF
