Which institution was founded by Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis?
Indian Statistical Institute
Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis was a pioneering Indian statistician, best known for developing the Mahalanobis distance and for his contributions to large-scale sample surveys.
He founded the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in Kolkata in 1931, which grew into a premier centre for research and teaching in statistics, and its Calcutta unit later shaped the statistical basis of India's Second Five-Year Plan.
The Reserve Bank of India (1935) and the Planning Commission (1950) were set up by the government, not by Mahalanobis, and "Indian Economic Forum" is not a body founded by him.
Hence, the institution founded by Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis is the Indian Statistical Institute.
