The District Reserve Guard (DRG), also known as the District Reserve Group, is a specialized police unit formed in 2008 in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh to address left-wing extremism, particularly the Maoist insurgency. The unit was established as a response to the growing influence and violence of Maoist groups, which have historically taken advantage of the socio-economic conditions of local tribal populations. The DRG is often referred to as the "son of the soil" due to its composition of local recruits. As of 2021, the DRG consists of approximately 3,500 personnel.
