    Solution

    The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Day Parade 2025 took place in Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh, with Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah attending as the Chief Guest. The CRPF was originally formed in 1939 as the Crown Representative Police, with India's first Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, instrumental in giving the force its current structure and insignia. On October 21, 1959, CRPF personnel sacrificed their lives during a confrontation with Chinese forces at Hot Spring in Ladakh, leading to the annual commemoration of Police Smriti Diwas. Additionally, the force celebrates Shaurya Diwas (Valour Day) on April 9th to honor CRPF personnel who successfully defended Sardar Post in the Rann of Kutch against a Pakistani attack in 1965. Today, approximately 300,000 CRPF personnel serve across 248 battalions, 4 zonal headquarters, 21 sector headquarters, 2 operational sector headquarters, 17 ranges, and 39 administrative ranges.
