The Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) is responsible for foreign intelligence collection and external covert operations. The Intelligence Bureau (IB), on the other hand, focuses on domestic intelligence and internal security. Before 1968, the IB handled both functions but the creation of R&AW separated foreign intelligence gathering from domestic to improve specialization and effectiveness.
