The 78th Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force today conducted a Civic Action Programme at Rusoma Village in Kohima district, Nagaland, aiming to extend developmental support to underserved communities while reinforcing security-sector civil-military cooperation in the region.
Civic action initiatives by India's central paramilitary forces have long served as a bridge between security personnel and remote frontier communities, particularly in the Northeast, where infrastructure gaps and livelihood challenges persist. The Rusoma intervention reflects a sustained strategy by the CRPF to integrate community development with operational presence, echoing similar past engagements across Kohima and Dimapur districts.
According to reports by Nagaland Post, the initiative was welcomed by village elders and local administrators, who highlighted the timely assistance amid ongoing efforts to modernize agricultural practices. A CRPF spokesperson stated the mission aligns with the force's broader mandate of service and security, emphasizing that such programmes are designed to build trust and foster sustainable rural development.
