Late Shri K.F. Rustamji, IP |
 As the founder father of the Border Security Force, Director General Late Shri K.F. Rustamji has always had the larger interest of the men at the top of his heart. He has always felt that the children of the personnel of the BSF operating in remote areas and those who lay down their lives in the honour of the country should be cared for by providing proper education facilities for their children. In this direction, his extended interest gave an opportunity to B.S.F. Education Fund to open the 1st Engineering College in India established by a Para Military Force. Because of his intervention, Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, Mumbai have accorded a grant for the development of laboratories of the Institute.
The vision of Late Shri Rustamji for providing proper educational facilities for the children of the valiant BSF personnel protecting the territorial integrity of the country, is an inspiration to develop this Institute as one of the premier educational Institute of India. |
