<span style="color: green;"><strong>About the organization:</strong></span><br />
The distinguished history of Indian Army dates back more than ten
thousand years. The two grand epics of ‘Ramayana’ and ‘Mahabharata’
constitute the fundamental framework around which the edifice of Indian
Army is built. The massive war ‘Mahabharata’, fought at Kurukshetra in
north-central India, has left indelible imprints on the Indian psyche.
Fought relentlessly for eighteen days in the quest of peace, the force
level described in the Epic states 18 ‘Akshaunis’, seven with the
‘Pandavas’ and eleven with the ‘Kauravas’, amounting to nearly 400,000
assorted troops fighting on chariots, horses, elephants and foot
soldiers.Though innumerable wars have been fought thereafter, most were
in quest of universal peace and ‘dharma’. Recourse to arms was only
taken when peace was threatened. In fact the word ‘peace’ forms the very
core of Indian philosophy, which can most aptly be traced to one of
India’s ancient scriptures known as the ‘Yajurveda’. It is stated in
verse, the English translation of which reads – “May the sky be
peaceful; may the atmosphere be peaceful; may the earth be peaceful; may
eternal peace cometh upon us”.The archaeological history of India dates
back to more than 2500 BC, when an urbanised civilisation known as the
Indus Valley Civilisation flourished along the banks of River Indus, in
the alluvial north – western plains. Similar findings like the coastal
cities of Lothal and Dwarka came to light more recently along the coast
of Gujarat. However, the Indus Valley Civilisation’s two urban centres
at Mohenjodaro and Harappa gradually declined in the second millennium
BC, and almost completely disintegrated around 1500 BC due to ecological
reasons like drying up of rivers and drought. The coastal cities
disintegrated due to massive floods.<br />

Let us not forget that roads in this difficult terrain have been built
not only with mere cement and concrete, but also with the blood of men
of the Border Roads Organisation of India. Many lost their lives for
the cause of duty on the project. To these men, who always play with
danger and laugh at death, duty comes first. These fallen heroes came
from all parts of Mother India, to contribute their mite to the defence
of their mother land and prosperity of their neighbours”..The early
years post Independence saw India with a 15000 kilometers long border to
be secured and a vast, remote and economically backward North and North
Eastern Region, with an inadequate road communication network, to
support its future development. The 1950’s was one of consolidation and
learning, politically and militarily. With the advent of the Five Year
Plans from 1951, the Central and State Government stepped in. With the
Constitution having declared road development as a State subject , the
responsibility of road development continued in the North and North
Eastern States to be entrusted to the PWD, even where defence strategy
was involved.<br />
