RAW
The R&AW is a highly sensitive department dealing with national interest, including its security — internal as well as external. The RAW was concerned with international affairs and undercover activities pertaining to national security. Certain cadres of employees of RAW formed an association. Earlier different branches and departments of the RAW in Delhi were scattered in several buildings. Ultimately a new building was constructed in Delhi. In the building, the Counter Intelligence Section (CIS) was also housed. After the CIS was shifted to this building strict security measures were introduced and the employees, when going from one floor to the other had to show their identity cards.
In 1904 an Intelligence Bureau had been formed which was reorganized in 1948. Originally the Intelligence Bureau was concerned both with domestic and international intelligence. In 1968, a branch of the Intelligence Bureau was set up as a separate department and the Intelligence Bureau since that time was concerned with only domestic affairs while the RAW was concerned with international affairs and under-cover activities pertaining to national security. Certain cadres of employees of the RAW formed an Association under the name of “The Cabinet Secretariat (Research and Analysis Wing) Employees Association (Regd.)”
The RAW is a security and intelligence section the Government of India dealing with many sensitive matters affecting national security and relations with other countries including counter intelligence. The basic rule of intelligence work, is that no person engaged in it should know more than what he needs to know. It is for this reason that when an outside agent is employed for espionage, care is taken to see that he does not know who his real employers are but knows only the name of his contact man which name is generally an alias. Employees of an intelligence service cannot, therefore, be the best judges of what security measures should be adopted to prevent secrets from leaking out.
