The Mewar Bhil Corps is a state armed police force of the Rajasthan Police.[1] The Corps was originally raised by the British Indian government as a military unit along similar lines as units such as the Merwara Battalion and Malwa Bhil Corps.[2] The Corps operated as a regular unit of the British Indian Army until 1938; since then it has been maintained as a para-military force.[1]

As of 2015, the sanctioned strength of the Corps was 773 personnel.[3] It is organized along with the battalions of the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary under an Additional Director General of Police for Armed Battalions. The sole battalion of the MBC is deployed in Udaipur range. [4]
