Explanation
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is headed, ex‑officio, by the Prime Minister of India, i.e., the Prime Minister serves as the President of CSIR [1]. CSIR’s governance framework further clarifies that the Director General is the principal executive officer who administers the society’s affairs under the direction and guidance of the Society’s President and Vice‑President, indicating the President’s formal supervisory role over CSIR’s overall governance. As an autonomous national R&D organization under the Ministry of Science & Technology, CSIR’s President being the Prime Minister reflects its high-level national oversight and linkage to central policy direction.
