All they tried their best to against the Naxals but due to their small groups and unplanned activity, they were unable to fight them. Then all these groups felt of need for a central organization that can be fulfill their aim to protect from these Naxals, which was the root cause for the birth for Ranvir Sena. After the merger of all these small groups, Ranvir Sena come in to existence in Belaur village of Udwantnagar block, Bhojpur district on September 1994. The basic intention for its formation was to combat the above naxals group and minimizing their influence in the area.
