A total of 29 trainee officers, two of whom are women, were elevated to assistant commandants in the Border Security Force after a graduation parade held on Saturday.
The newly minted officers, previously subordinate officials, passed the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination, signifying a significant career step within the 3-lakh personnel-strong force that protects India's borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh.
These officers underwent a rigorous 28-week training program at the BSF Officers' Training Academy in Tekanpur, which notably included the first-ever module on drone warfare, a skill honed from India's Operation Sindoor responses.
