February starts with the celebration of Indian Coast Guard Day. Coast Guard Day is observed to recognise organisations from all around the world that are responsible for maritime security as well as a country’s needs. Volunteering, seeking, and holding rescue operations are all obligations of the Coast Guard, as well as guarding our country’s boundaries.
The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) is the country’s marine law enforcement and search and rescue service, with jurisdiction over all of India’s territorial seas, including the contiguous zone and exclusive economic zone. On August 18, 1978, the Coast Guard Act of 1978 formed the ICG, or Indian Coast Guard. The temporary ICG was established on February 1, 1977, to combat illegal trafficking in coastal areas.
The 46th Indian Coast Guard Day will be observed this year in India.
The Indian Coast Guard now has 156 ships and 62 aircraft. By 2025, the organisation hopes to produce 200 ships and 100 twin-engine planes. Following the terrorist attacks in Mumbai in 2008, the Indian government launched a programme to increase the size of the Indian Coast Guard’s force, assets, and infrastructure.
