Question

What is the full form of RAF in the context in India?
A) Royal Air Force
B) Rapid Air Force
C) Rapid Action Force
D) Rapid Application Force

Answer 1

Hint: Every country has its own full forms for the same abbreviations. RAF is related to the armed services and forces of different countries. Likewise, RAF has a separate full form in the context of India.

Complete answer:
The Royal Air Force is one of the full forms of RAF but in the United Kingdom. The Royal Air force is the aerial warfare force in the United Kingdom. It has its air staff offices in London. There is no such air force called the Rapid Air Force. The full form of RAF in India is Rapid Action Force. It is a specialised wing of the CRPF of India.

Its aim is to deal with the riot and crowd and control certain other situations. It has a responsibility of maintaining peace in the area of its jurisdiction and is considered to be of great significance in terms of national security. Also, there is no force named Rapid Application Force in India. Therefore, the full form of RAF in the context of India is Rapid Action Force.

Hence the correct answer is option 'C'.

Note:
-The main function of the Rapid Action Force is to restore normalcy in times of riots and during incidents of threat to the national security of India.
-It operates in India and has its headquarters in New Delhi.
-It is governed by the Ministry of Home affairs.
