The Indian government is set to introduce a bill in the Lok Sabha to widen the remit of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) and align its legal framework with evolving needs. The bill, Indian Statistical Institute Bill, 2026, seeks to incorporate the institute as a 'body corporate' to strengthen its governance, promote academic excellence, and allow it to serve the emerging needs in the field of statistics and allied fields. The bill repeals the Indian Statistical Institute Act, 1959, and provides for a Board of Governors headed by an eminent person from academia, industry, or related fields. The board will be accountable to the central government. The institute will have an Academic Council headed by its director, comprising all full-time professors and faculty members.
