CISF to recruit 70,000 jawans over 5 years
Kolkata: The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will recruit 70,000 jawans over the next five years to take the sanctioned strength to 2,20,000. The force inducted 13,230 personnel in 2024 and aims to recruit an additional 24,098 in 2025. There is a special emphasis on attracting more women candidates to promote gender diversity within the force. "As India continues to experience rapid economic growth, the demand for robust security across various critical sectors has become paramount. CISF, known for its specialised security services, will see expanded deployment in key areas such as the aviation and port sectors, thermal and nuclear power plants, and vital installations including hydropower plants. This expansion is particularly timely as new industrial hubs are anticipated to emerge in regions previously affected by left-wing extremism, such as Chhattisgarh, necessitating a fortified security presence," said an officer.
