Father of Indian Statistical Science Professor P.C. Mahalanobis and his Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) had crossed many miles in the history of Statistical Studies in India. The colonial ruler time saw this very premier institute to be established near Baranagar, a landmark in the history of Indian education.
This is a unique institution devoted to the research, teaching, and application of statistics, natural sciences, and social sciences. Founded by Professor P.C. Mahalanobis in Kolkata on 17th December 1931, the institute gained the status of an Institution of National Importance by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1959.
The Headquarters of ISI is located in the northern fringe of the metropolis of Kolkata. There are four centers located in Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, and Tezpur. Research in statistics and related disciplines is the primary activity of the Institute. Teaching activities are undertaken mainly in Kolkata, Delhi, and Bangalore. Offices of the Institute in several other cities in India are primarily engaged in projects and consultancy in Statistical Quality Control and Operations Research.
