The establishment of the Indian Coast Guards was first proposed by the Indian Navy to provide non-military maritime services for the nation.In the 1960s, sea-borne smuggling of goods was threatening India's domestic economy. The Indian Customs Department frequently called upon the Indian Navy for assistance with patrol and interception in the anti-smuggling effort.

The Indian Coast Guard was formally established on 1 February 1977 by the Coast Guard Act, 1978 by the Parliament Of India.....

It operates under the Ministry Of Defense.

The Coast Guard works in close cooperation with the Indian Navy, Department of Fisheries, The Department of Revenue and Central and state police forces....

The Indian Coast Guard's motto is"वयम रक्षामः"(Vayam Rakshamah), which translates from Sanskrit as "We Protect".
