A felicitation ceremony was held today at BSF Headquarters, New Delhi, to honor the extraordinary sports personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) who demonstrated exceptional talent and achieved remarkable success in recent international and national sporting events, including the World Police & Fire Games, All India Police Shooting Competition, and the World Wushu Championship.
The event was attended by Shri Daljit Singh Chawdhary, DG BSF, who graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. He personally felicitated the personnel with cash rewards, recognizing their outstanding accomplishments in the presence of senior BSF officers and officials.
A special highlight of the ceremony was the outstanding achievement of Constable Anuj of the BSF Central Wushu Team, who secured a silver medal at the 10th Sanda World Cup held in Jiangyin, China, in April 2025. In recognition of his exceptional performance at an international level, DG BSF awarded him an out-of-turn promotion from Constable to Head Constable—a rare honor bestowed almost after 21 years within the force. This exceptional reward underscores the BSF’s commitment to nurturing and recognizing extraordinary talent, serving as a powerful motivation for all sports personnel to excel and strive for excellence.
In the field of shooting, the BSF shooters team made a significant mark by bagging the Overall Women’s Championship, along with the Best Rifle Trophy for Men and the Best Rifle Trophy for Women at the All India Police Shooting Competition 2024. Their outstanding performance not only brought pride to the force but also demonstrated the high standards of excellence maintained by BSF shooters on national platforms.
The BSF team also made history by clinching a total of 74 medals, including 38 gold medals, at the recent World Police and Fire Games held in Alabama, USA—marking the highest medal tally ever achieved by BSF in any international police sporting event.
Furthermore, personnel who participated in the All India Police Shooting Competition 2024 and secured medals across various categories were also felicitated with cash rewards, acknowledging their dedication and sporting excellence.
This ceremony not only celebrated the remarkable achievements of our sports personnel but also reinforced the importance of recognizing talent and hard work. The out-of-turn promotion to Constable Anuj exemplifies how extraordinary performances are duly acknowledged, inspiring all personnel to put forth greater effort, achieve new heights, and serve as proud representatives of the force and the nation on the global sporting stage.
