Correct:
C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 (2 only) because, according to the official classification by the Government of India, the Assam Rifles is the only true paramilitary force among the choices provided.
- Assam Rifles: It is India's oldest paramilitary force. It has a unique "dual control" structure where administrative control lies with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), while operational control rests with the Indian Army (Ministry of Defence).
- Indian Coast Guard (ICG): Although it is an Armed Force of the Union, it functions under the Ministry of Defence as a maritime law enforcement agency, not classified as a paramilitary force.
- Directorate General of Resettlement (DGR): This is an inter-service administrative organization under the Ministry of Defence. It deals with the rehabilitation and resettlement of ex-servicemen and is not a combat or paramilitary force.
Thus, only statement 2 satisfies the technical definition of a paramilitary force in the Indian context.
