The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) was established on 17th
December, 1931 by a great visionary Prof. Prasanta Chandra
Mahalanobis to promote research in the theory and applications of
statistics as a new scienti c discipline in India. In 1959, Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India introduced the
ISI Act in the parliament and designated it as an Institution of
National Importance because of its remarkable achievements in
statistical work as well as its contribution to economic planning.
Today, the Indian Statistical Institute occupies a prestigious
position in the a- demic rmament. It has been a haven for bright
and talented academics working in a number of disciplines. Its
research faculty has done India proud in the arenas of Statistics,
Mathematics, Economics, Computer Science, among others. Over s-
enty ve years, it has grown into a massive banyan tree, like the
institute emblem. The Institute now serves the nation as a uni ed
and monolithic organization from different places, namely Kolkata,
the Headquarters, Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai, three centers, a
network of ve SQC-OR Units located at Mumbai, Pune, Baroda,
Hyderabad and Coimbatore, and a branch ( eld station) at Giridih.
The platinum jubilee celebrations of ISI have been launched by
Honorable Prime Minister Prof. Manmohan Singh on December 24, 2006,
and the Govt. of India has declared 29th June as the "Statistics
Day" to commemorate the birthday of Prof. Mahalanobis nationally.
