Explanation

The Department of Border Management is a department within the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Official MHA pages list “Department of Border Management” among the departments functioning under the Union Home Secretary, confirming its placement in the MHA structure [1]. A detailed mandate document further states that the Department of Border Management deals with management of international borders, coastal borders, strengthening of border guarding and related infrastructure, and explicitly describes it as part of the Ministry of Home Affairs’ organisational structure [2]. The MHA website also maintains dedicated divisions for Border Management (Border Management-I and Border Management-II), providing operational pages for these divisions under the Ministry’s domain [3].
