Budget allocation in the Army is not carried out Regiment wise. As per Government policy on the subject, all citizens irrespective of their class, creed, region or religion are eligible for recruitment in the Indian Army. After Independence, it has been the policy of the Government not to raise any new Regiment for a particular class/community/religion or region. Adequate vacancies are being provided to all classes to ensure equitable opportunity for recruitment into the Army.
Many Petitions, VIP references, Parliament questions, Private Member Bills etc for raising of new regiments based on Class/Region/Names of Historical and National Heroes etc have been received from time to time. However, as per Government Policy quoted above, no new regiment has been raised. One of the War Cries of BIHAR Regiment is “BIRSA MUNDA KI JAI”. Indian Army has numerous Regiments across various Arms & Services. They have been constituted in different years and have different slogans.

How come Para Regiment were founded in 1761, when aeroplane and parachutes were not invented?
Agreed, have the same doubt
You say 27 regiments, but only 25 are listed. 61st cavalry and Guards Regiment are missing.
Respected Sir, I am an ex SI(M) CRPF, I do have some knowledge about tri forces but still some doubts. I would like to ask that years of rising of all armed forces in brief. What is difference between OTA, NDA, IMA and their postings in triforces
Thanking you
Yours truly
