ISI Council Members Sought for Input on Bill

The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) is a place where important decisions are usually made by a group called the ISI Governing Council.

Now, the government wants to change this by creating a new group called the Board of Governors, where most members will be chosen by the central government.

The ministry in charge has asked all members of the current council to share their thoughts on this change.

This comes after teachers and students protested because they think the new plan might give too much power to the government and take away the say of the teachers.

The ministry had earlier said they didn't need to talk to the council, but after the protests, they changed their mind and are now asking for the council's input.
