About Indian Statistical Institute (ISI)
Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) is an institute and university in Kolkata's norther outskirt of Baranagar, India founded by Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis in 1931. It is one of the oldest institutions focused on Statistics, and its early reputation led it to being adopted as a model for the first US institute of statistics set up at the Research Triangle, North Carolina by Gertrude Mary Cox.
History
The Statistical Laboratory in the Presidency College, Kolkata was set up by Mahalanobis in the Physics Department of the college in 1920s. Many colleagues of Mahalanobis took an interest in statistics and the group grew in the Statistical Laboratory. A meeting was called on 17 December 1931 with Pramatha Nath Banerji (Minto Professor of Economics), Nikhil Ranjan Sen (Khaira Professor of Applied Mathematics) and Sir R. N. Mukherji. This meeting led to the establishment of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), which was formally registered on 28 April 1932 as a non-profit distributing learned society under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. Later, the Institute was registered under the West Bengal Societies Registration Act XXVI of 1961 amended in 1964. The ISI was relocated to a property owned by Professor Mahalanobis, named "Amrapali", in Baranagar, North Kolkata.
