ISI has commenced work on improving its structure, strengthening research and ensuring robust academic and administrative frameworks. Significant restructuring has been undertaken to align the Institute's various Divisions with contemporary requirements. The Centre for AI and ML (CAIML) has aligned its initiatives with the National AI Policy, emphasizing strategic relevance. Efforts are also underway to operationalize the Interdisciplinary Centre for Applied Statistics and Biostatistics. The Research Centre for Economics and Data Analysis has been invigorated with dedicated leadership assignments, ensuring forward momentum. Faculty recruitment and promotions have been prioritized, with streamlined processes nearing finalization. Formalization of teaching benchmarks highlight ISI’s commitment to academic excellence. ISI has also adopted advanced digital teaching methods, introducing online and hybrid courses as part of a broader academic enhancement strategy. These initiatives are complemented by expedited decision-making processes within the Academic Council, fostering agility in program development and revision. Infrastructure and governance improvements remain a focal point, with e-governance initiatives progressing in alignment with MoSPI. Revenue generation efforts, including consultancy rules and facility usage charges, have been implemented to strengthen financial sustainability.
While many recommendations have been fully implemented, others are actively in progress. These actions, signal a forward-looking approach and underline the Government's dedication to strengthen ISI as a global leader in statistical science and related disciplines. As the Institute approaches its centenary in 2031, the Institute is poised to embrace this transformative vision and emerge as a beacon of excellence on the global stage.
