Draft ISI Bill, 2025
MoSPI has prepared a draft ‘The Indian Statistical Institute Bill, 2025’ to elevate its institutional status by converting it from a registered society to a statutory body corporate and upscaling its governance framework, thereby aligning it with peer Institutions of National Importance (INIs). Once enacted, the Bill shall replace the Indian Statistical Institute Act, 1959. The draft Bill is founded upon following guiding principles:
(a) Excellence: promoting academic rigour, global competitiveness, and innovation;
(b) Effective Governance: establishing clear institutional structures, streamlining decision-making, and upholding integrity in leadership and administration;
(c) Autonomy: granting the Institute greater decision-making powers in its day-to-day functioning and planning;
(d) Accountability: ensuring transparency, oversight, and responsiveness to stakeholders.
The Bill has been prepared after preliminary consultation with the stakeholders and by following the well-established and proven model of peer INIs such as IITs/ IIMs and it has been customized, wherever necessary, considering the specialized nature of the ISI. The ISI Bill 2025 is envisaged to enable ISI to emerge as a globally recognised centre of excellence in statistical and allied disciplines. The proposed legislation intends to enhance institutional autonomy and accountability and also strengthen its capacity to deliver world-class education, research, and policy support. In the draft Bill, the coverage of “statistical sciences” has been expanded keeping in view development of global trends and flexibility has been provided to include other related disciplines as may be specified by regulations. The Centres have also been given governance flexibility and academic autonomy. These steps are envisaged to expand teaching and research activities as well as courses, students and faculty at ISI.
After receipt of public comments, a revised draft ‘The Indian Statistical Institute Bill, 2025’ has been placed on Ministry’s website on 28 Nov 2025 for further pre-legislative consultation. Timeline seeking public comments has now been extended up to 5 Jan 2026.
