1835 CE

The present day Assam Rifles can trace its origins back to a paramilitary force known as Cachar Levy which was established by the British in 1835 in the Assam region.

The Assam Rifles today boast of being the oldest paramilitary force.

With approximately seven hundred and fifty men, this force is formed as a police unit to protect settlements against tribal raids and other assaults as British rule slowly moves towards the north east parts of India.
