Ssb Jobs for Government Assistant Sub-inspectors in Delhi

In the wake of the Chinese conflict in 1962, it was felt that the countrys borders cannot be protected by the force of rifles alone, it requires the backing and resolute will of a committed border population. A need was realized for the creation of a unique, unconventional, specialized organization which would function in the far away, vulnerable, strategic, remote, climatically and topographically difficult border areas and motivate the border population across several states for the cause of protecting our national sovereignty. The SSB (Special Service Bureau) was created in March, 1963 with the objective of achieving Total security preparedness in the remote border areas for performing a stay-behind role in the event of a war. It was started in North Assam, North Bengal, hill districts of Uttar Pradesh (now Uttarakhand), Himachal Pradesh, part of Punjab and Ladakh area of J&K. Later its jurisdiction was extended to Manipur, Tripura & Jammu (1965), Meghalaya (1975), Sikkim (1976), Rajasthan (1985), South Bengal, Nagaland and Mizoram (1989). Its area of coverage included 15 states.SSB in the erstwhile role was covering a population of more than 5.73 crores living in about 80,000 villages and about 9917 Kms of Indias international borders. The main thrust of the SSB was on generating a sense of national belonging, security and vigilance. The SSB trained more than two lakh volunteers which were the eyes and ears of the organization.

The area covered by SSB comprised 10 SSB Divisions, 49 Areas, 117 Sub Areas and 287 Circles. It had 32 Group Centres, 14 Training Centres and 3 Storage Depots. Training Schools were set up in various parts of the country starting with Frontier Administrative Officers Training Centre at Mahabaleshwar in October, 1963. Besides, Group Leaders Training School was opened in Gwaldam (UK). Two Advanced Training Schools were started for volunteers in Sarahan (HP) and Haflong (Assam). By 1990, SSB had seven Major Training Centres and seven Womens Advanced Training Schools. Training was imparted to population in the border areas of HP, Punjab, part of J&K, UP, North Assam, North Bengal and South Bengal and NEFA region.

The resources of the Central Govt. and State Govt. were pooled and efforts were made through SSB to improve the lot of the border population which came out in large numbers to repair the roads, bridges and drains, clean up tanks and wells, lay water supply lines and build public toilets, sports grounds, school buildings, community centres, etc. SSB personnel took the scheme to the villagers doorsteps. They used tape recorders, 16 mm film projectors and gramophones to educate and motivate. They lived with the villagers and addressed their day to day issue. Need for unity and integrated action was emphasized. Economic development of the regions was attempted. Villagers were trained in the use of small arms and the art of self defence to develop a spirit of resistance. SSBs efforts bore fruit slowly but steadily. A large number of women volunteers were trained and this augmented the SSBs endeavours greatly. In 1965, SSB undertook the task of providing medical support in the border areas where primary health centers were largely non existent. This move turned the tide in favour of the Govt. as the border men felt they had much to gain from being a part and parcel of the Indian Union. By 1998, SSB Medical Staff were treating an average of 16 lakhs patients every year. In the year 1989 SSB augmented its services through a veterinary support system for the border population wholly dependent on cattle and livestock for their livelihood.
