ANTHROPOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA
The Anthropological Survey of India (AnSI) is a government organisation in India dedicated to anthropological studies and field data research, with a primary focus on physical anthropology and cultural anthropology, especially concerning indigenous populations. It also works to document the cultures of other communities and religious groups. AnSI was founded in 1945 in Varanasi, originating from the Anthropology section of the Indian Museum, which had earlier combined with the Zoological section in 1916 to form the Zoological Survey of India. In 1948, it shifted to the Indian Museum in Calcutta. Biraja Sankar Guha served as its initial director, with Verrier Elwin as Deputy Director. The organisation operates under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, and is headquartered in Kolkata. It maintains several regional centres, including those in Sri Vijaya Puram (Andaman and Nicobar Islands), Shillong (North-East), Dehra Dun (North-West), Udaipur (Western), Nagpur (Central, housing the Central Library of AnSI), and Mysore (Southern, established in 1960), along with sub-regional centers such as Jagdalpur.
