Abstract : Extensive growth of statistical theory and practice in India has been greatly influenced by several eminent academics. In addition to P.C. Mahalanobis' predominant presence, Indian statisticians have had a lasting impact. Our goal is to draw attention to the ways that the activities of important statisticians have shaped the field's development both nationally and internationally.

Keywords : Indian Statisticians, Indian Knowledge System, ISI and its Impact, National Statistics Day.
