Border Roads Organisation
About
- The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is a road construction executive force in India that provides support to Indian Armed Forces.
- It was set up in 1960 to secure India’s borders and develop road infrastructure in remote areas of the north and north-east states of the country.
- BRO also develops and maintains road networks in India’s friendly neighbouring countries such as Afghanistan, Bhutan, Myanmar, Tajikistan and Sri Lanka.
- Since 2015–16, BRO has been functioning fully under the Ministry of Defence. Earlier, it was partially under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
