Anthropological Survey of India (AnSI) is the apex Indian government organisation involved in anthropological studies and field data research for human and cultural aspects, working primarily in the fields of physical anthropology and cultural anthropology,[2] while maintaining a strong focus on indigenous populations.

In 1916, the Zoological and Anthropological sections of the Museum together became a new entity the Zoological Survey of India. Later, in 1945, the Anthropology section formed into an independent body, the Anthropological Survey of India (AnSI),[4] with Biraja Sankar Guha as the initial director and Verrier Elwin, deputy director.
Operating under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, it is headquartered in Kolkata and has regional centres in Port Blair (Andaman and Nicobar) (Andaman & Nicobar Islands Regional Centre), Shillong (North-East Regional Centre), Dehra Dun (North-West Regional Centre), Udaipur (Western Regional Centre), Nagpur (with Central Library of AnSI) (Central Regional Centre), and Mysore (Southern Regional Centre) (established in 1960), along with some small regional sub-stations.[5]
