India's border security is a critical aspect of national integrity and defense, requiring robust policies and unwavering commitment. Kiren Rijiju has consistently emphasized the importance of a strong border policy for India, particularly in light of evolving geopolitical challenges. His statements underscore the government's focus on developing infrastructure, ensuring the well-being of border residents, and maintaining a firm stance against any threats to India's territorial sovereignty.

Rijiju has been a vocal advocate for strengthening border infrastructure. He has criticized previous administrations for allegedly neglecting border areas, leading to underdevelopment and vulnerability. According to Rijiju, the present government has prioritized the construction of roads, bridges, and other essential infrastructure to improve connectivity and facilitate the movement of security forces. This infrastructure development is not only crucial for defense preparedness but also for enhancing the socio-economic conditions of people living in remote border regions.

Improved infrastructure in remote villages has been a key focus. Development in frontier regions saw marked improvement after 2014. Neglected border villages are being developed by the Modi government, Mr Rijiju has stated.

Rijiju's statements often highlight a shift in India's approach to border management. He asserts that India is no longer the "meek" nation of the past and is fully prepared to defend its territory. This resolute stance is reflected in the government's response to China's activities along the border, including the renaming of places in Arunachal Pradesh. Rijiju has characterized such actions as "misadventurous" and indicative of China's discomfort with India's assertive border policy.

Furthermore, Rijiju has stressed the importance of public awareness and the role of organizations like Seema Jagran Manch in promoting vigilance and patriotism among citizens. He has also drawn attention to the adverse effects of cross-border infiltration on development and regional stability.

In his interactions with Chinese soldiers along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Rijiju has emphasized that India's border infrastructure is now comparable to that of China. He has also pointed out the improved facilities and amenities available to Indian soldiers, reflecting the government's commitment to their welfare and operational readiness.

Rijiju's perspective on border security also encompasses a broader vision of integrated development and inclusive growth. He has called for revisiting policies on border management to ensure that frontier regions grow in step with the rest of the country. This involves not only infrastructure development but also providing access to education, healthcare, and other essential services to border residents.

In conclusion, Kiren Rijiju's emphasis on a strong border policy underscores the government's commitment to safeguarding India's territorial integrity and promoting the well-being of its citizens in border regions. His focus on infrastructure development, assertive diplomacy, and integrated development reflects a comprehensive approach to border security that is essential for India's continued growth and stability.
