Border Security Force (BSF), the country's premier

paramilitary force tasked with securing its borders has approved placement of

the contract for Rs 228 crore Intranet Prahari project to NIIT. The project

involves setting up of the complete infrastructure, network and applications to

facilitate operations management, integrated financial activities, and human

resources management for the force. BSF  has been growing steadily since its

inception in 1965.

Today, it has over 157 battalions, with another 27

battalions in 9 sectors and 3 more frontiers to be raised in a phased manner.

Through the Intranet Prahari program, all frontiers and battalions across the

country would be connected to each other.  The supply and set-up of the entire

infrastructure of the project includes establishment of a central data center,

10 mini data centers, a disaster recovery center and infrastructure in a total

of 230 sector Headquarters and battalions. Applications on state-of-the-art

technology would be configured and deployed across data centers and remote

locations.  NIIT Technologies had executed a similar turn-key engagement for the

Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) called SELO an acronym for Service and

Loyalty.
