DESCRIPTION :

The Bangalore Centre of the Indian Statistical Institute was conceived by Prof.P.C.Mahalanobis during 1960s¸ even when the city was emerging as a centre of science. It is a tribute to his foresight that the Institute is now well-established in one of the most vibrant scientific communities in Asia.

With the Statistical Quality Control unit functioning in Bangalore from 1956¸ and Documentation Research and training Centre from 1962¸ Professor Mahalanobis thought of starting a centre of ISI around the mid-sixties.  The presence of several national institutes of higher learning¸ the salubrious climate and the growing metropolitan culture must have prompted him to consider this possibility.  In 1966¸ Govt. of Karnataka granted ISI 30 acres of forest land full of eucalyptus trees¸ next to the upcoming Bangalore University on Mysore Road¸ at a token price.
