PM Narendra Modi will chair the first-ever CAPF Leadership Conference in Delhi this May to discuss internal security, policy execution, and CAPF cadre issues.
In a landmark move to fortify India’s internal security apparatus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to chair the first-ever CAPF Leadership Conference in Delhi this May. This high-level summit comes at a crucial juncture as the nation navigates increasingly “evolving and dynamic” homeland security challenges.
A New Era for Internal Security
The upcoming CAPF Leadership Conference is designed to provide a unified platform for the top brass of India’s Central Armed Police Forces. Sources indicate that the Intelligence Bureau (IB) is spearheading the coordination and execution of this two-day event. Much like the annual DGP/IGP conferences, this leadership meet is expected to become a permanent fixture on the national security calendar.
The senior leadership attending the CAPF Leadership Conference will include both Indian Police Service (IPS) officers and dedicated CAPF cadre officers, ensuring a comprehensive dialogue on operational and policy-level hurdles.
Strengthening the Shield: CRPF, BSF, and Beyond
India’s five primary CAPFs—the CRPF, BSF, ITBP, CISF, and SSB—boast a staggering combined strength of approximately 10 lakh personnel. From guarding hostile borders to providing VIP security and conducting counter-terrorist operations, these forces are the backbone of India’s domestic stability.
The CAPF Leadership Conference aims to:
Synchronize Efforts: Align the strategies of CAPFs with state police forces and sister intelligence agencies.
Modernize Response: Devise technologically advanced ways to firm up responses to national security threats.
Policy Reform: Address execution issues arising from recent legislative changes.

High-Stakes Participation
The significance of the CAPF Leadership Conference is underscored by its guest list. Alongside PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, and the chiefs of various intelligence agencies are expected to participate in the deliberations.
Navigating Legislative and Cadre Challenges
The conference arrives shortly after the passage of the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Act, 2026. While the Centre maintains that the Act creates a necessary unified legal framework for service conditions, it has met with internal resistance.
Cadre officers have voiced concerns regarding career stagnation, arguing that IPS deputations must be curtailed in line with previous Supreme Court directives. It is highly anticipated that these “policy and execution” challenges will be a focal point during the CAPF Leadership Conference as the government seeks to balance administrative unity with officer morale.
The Road Ahead
As the Ministry of Home Affairs and the IB finalize the agenda, the nation looks toward this summit to set a new standard for internal vigilance. The CAPF Leadership Conference represents a strategic shift toward a more proactive, unified, and integrated security doctrine for 21st-century India.
