The Constables/DCPOs completed 27 weeks of fire training at FSTI/NISA and 15 weeks of security training at CISF RTCs, equipping them with expertise in fire safety, disaster management, and advanced firefighting techniques. Rajwinder Singh Bhatti, Director General of CISF, served as the Chief Guest at the event. In his address, he emphasized the critical role of the newly inducted personnel in ensuring the safety of vital installations across the country. He urged them to maintain discipline, dedication, and professionalism while adapting to evolving challenges in security management. Outstanding performers were recognised during the ceremony.

Other notable awards included "Best in Indoor" and "Best in Firing" for Assistant Commandants and "Best in Fire Drill" for Constables/DCPOs. In a release it said that the Ministry of Home Affairs has approved the formation of two new battalions in the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), boosting its strength to approximately 2 lakh personnel. This expansion, which includes a recently approved women’s battalion, will enhance national security and generate over 2,000 new jobs. Each new battalion will comprise 1,025 personnel and be led by a senior commandant, increasing the total number of CISF battalions from 13 to 15. The newly formed battalions will bolster the CISF’s ability to address internal security challenges, including guarding high-security prisons and sensitive locations. Equipped with specialized training, weapons, and transport fleets, the battalions will improve the force’s quick response capabilities during emergencies, ensuring faster deployment and better crisis management. This expansion is also expected to ease the workload on existing personnel, providing them with better opportunities for leaves and weekly offs, thereby enhancing their efficiency and job satisfaction.
