In a proud moment for the nation, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has been awarded the Best Marching Contingent Trophy at the 76th Republic Day Parade. The announcement was made via a post on X (formerly Twitter) by the CRPF’s official account,
CRPF, celebrating their victory in the popular choice category among the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and other auxiliary forces.
The trophy was presented to the Parade Commander and the contingent, as the Director General of CRPF lauded their exemplary performance during the parade. The CRPF extended heartfelt thanks to all who voted for their contingent, reflecting the public’s support and admiration for their discipline and dedication.
This year’s Republic Day parade, held on January 26, 2025, was particularly significant as it marks India’s completion of 75 full years as a democratic republic, stepping into its 76th year. The parade, a grand display of India’s military prowess and cultural diversity, traditionally includes contingents from the Indian Armed Forces, various police forces, and cultural floats from different states.
Highlighting the theme of gender equality and empowerment, the parade featured several women-led contingents, including a notable presence by the CRPF. This achievement underscores the increasing role and recognition of women in India’s security forces, following trends set in previous years where women contingents have made historic appearances.
The victory of CRPF in securing the Best Marching Contingent Trophy not only boosts the morale of the force but also celebrates the hard work, precision, and discipline of its members, making the nation proud. This moment of glory was shared across social media with congratulations pouring in from various individuals and officials, recognizing the CRPF’s contribution to the Republic Day celebrations.
