(D)
Rustamji Institute of Technology (RJIT):-The Rustamji Institute of Technology (RJIT), the first Engineering
College in India established by Para Military Force. Due to deployment
of the bulk of the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel in militancy
affected areas, the majorities of the force personnel stay separated
from their families and are unable to look after the education of
their children. A number of personnel are laying down their lives
in the fight against anti national elements every day.
The Rustamji Institute of Technology (RJIT) has been set up with the objective of giving an opportunity to the children of serving BSF personnel as well as for those who have laid down their lives in service to the nation, for acquiring higher technical qualification. The Border Security Force education fund sponsored the development of the institute.
