The '''National Statistical Commission''' (NSC) of [[India]] is an autonomous body which formed in June 2005 under the recommendation of Rangarajan commission.

Dr. Kiran Pandya, Shri Pulak Ghosh and Dr. Gurucharan Manna are other members of the Commission. Shri [[Amitabh Kant]], current CEO of [[NITI Aayog]] is the ex-officio Member and Shri Pravin Srivastava, Chief Statistician of India and Secretary, [[Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation]] is Secretary to the Commission.<ref name="nsc-present-composition"/> The Chairperson of the Commission enjoys the status of a Minister of State and the Members of the Commission have the status equivalent to the Secretary to the Government of India. The Chairperson and the Members also enjoy a relative security of tenure as once they assume office, they can be removed only by the President after the Supreme Court of India has on inquiry held in accordance with the procedure Article 145 of the [[Constitution of India]] reported that they ought to be removed.

The objective of its constitution is to reduce the problems faced by statistical agencies in the country in relation to collection of data.

Statistical agencies like the [[Central Statistical Office (India)|Central Statistics Office]] (CSO) and the [[National Sample Survey Organisation]] (NSSO) face numerous problems in collecting data from State and Central government departments, but an autonomous body like the NSC is thought to be more able to coordinate things as a statutory status would lend it teeth.

It would lay special emphasis on ensuring collection of unbiased data so as to restore public trust in the figures released by the Government.
