Homeland Security 2016 – Smart Border Management

India has 15,106.7 km of land border and a coastline of 7,516.6 km including island territories. Securing the country’s borders against interests hostile to the country and putting in place the systems that are able to interdict such elements while facilitating legitimate trade and commerce are among the principal objectives of border management in India.

The proper management of borders, which is vital to the national security, presents many challenges and includes coordination and concerted action by the administrative, diplomatic, security, intelligence, legal, regulatory and economic agencies of the country to secure the frontiers and serve its best interest.

Ministry of Home Affairs and various Indian Border Guarding agencies have been exploring the deployment of technologies/solutions for improved border surveillance with a view to reduce/eliminate incidents of infiltration, smuggling or other illegal cross border activities in various terrain along Indo-Bangladesh Border (IBB), and Indo- Pakistan Border (IPB), especially in challenging areas where fencing could not be installed due to difficult terrain.

Force modernisation and meeting equipment needs are immediate priorities in border management of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) responsible for guarding international borders.
