MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR GENERAL Ranjit Kumar Bhatia,DG,ITBP Welcome to the web site of the Indo Tibetan Border Police. This web site has been hosted for the benefit of viewers, who may be interested to know the functioning of this unique police force, which protects the Himalayas, and also for those who may be interested in seeking a career. Life is tough in ITBP but full of adventure as we live close to Nature, but at the end of the day, it gives us great satisfaction of having learnt something of the power, beauty and the primordial effect of environment on humanity. This is the only Force of its kind in the world for its size, and for the charge of its duties. I hope when you get yourself acquainted with our functions, you will be encouraged to take a trek into the Nature's realm in the Himalayas and meet us at our duty posts. JAI HIND!
