Intelligence Bureau

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) is India's primary intelligence agency, responsible for gathering and analyzing information related to national security and internal threats. Established in 1887, it operates under the Ministry of Home Affairs. The IB plays a crucial role in counter-terrorism, safeguarding the country's borders, and ensuring public safety by monitoring potential threats from within and outside the country. It provides vital intelligence to the government for decision-making and policy formulation. While it predominantly focuses on domestic issues, it also collaborates with international intelligence agencies to enhance national security.
