During the Viceroyalty of Lord Rippon, Durga Charan Law, a merchant, Raja Shiva Prasad, an Inspector of Schools and Syed Ammer Ali, a Presidency Megistrate were nominated.

It is because of the changing circumstances, the Government should consider to see that there should be a suitable personnel policy in the CISF. The Government is intending to extend the security cover of CISF to the private sector. It would be appropriate if the extended coverage could also include the cooperative sector.
