24 Oct
Summary
- CISF will recruit 450 sportspersons to strengthen teams.
- Recruitment rules amended for Constable to ASI levels.
- Infrastructure and incentives expanded for athletes.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is undertaking a major initiative to bolster its sports teams, planning to recruit around 450 sportspersons. This recruitment drive will be supported by amendments to existing rules, enabling sports recruitment at the Constable, Head Constable, and Assistant Sub-Inspector ranks. The goal is to improve the force's standing in national and international competitions.
Furthering these efforts, the CISF is investing in sports infrastructure development across its training facilities. Enhanced facilities, including an athletics track at the National Industrial Security Academy in Hyderabad, are already being established. Plans are also underway with the Sports Authority of India for a Regional Sports Centre at the CISF's Rajaditya Cholan Regional Training Centre.
These initiatives are complemented by increased financial support for athletes and coaches. The CISF has seen a notable rise in medal counts at the All India Police Sports Clusters, with a significant increase in gold medals and overall trophies won. Cash awards totaling approximately ₹97 lakh were distributed for the 2025-26 period, with further special increments and allowances for diet provided to athletes.
