Indian Society for Quality

Indian Society for Quality (ISQ) was established in 1996 as a Not-for-Profit Society with the objective of providing a national forum for interaction among quality professionals. The society acts as a catalyst and facilitation body for exchange of information and experience regarding Quality management principles, technology and practices. Its mission is to pursue quality for prosperity. Towards its objectives, ISQ has instituted many awards to recognize outstanding contributions by industry leaders, business professionals, TQM promoters in quality bodies and TQM counsellors who have selflessly contributed to the quality movement in India through their leadership and knowledge. As a member of Asian Network for Quality (ANQ) involved from the very outset and represented on its Board, ISQ is the face of India overseas in the world of quality. ISQ hosted the 2nd ANQ Congress in 2004 in New Delhi as well as the 2010 ANQ Congress at Noida in which 800 participants, including 170 from overseas participated and 214 papers were presented. ISQ continues to represent India actively in ANQ Congresses. It also maintains the ANQ website cooperation with member organizations from various Asian countries. The flagship event of ISQ is its Annual Conference where awards are presented, and illustrious speakers from India and overseas are invited. ISQ also reaches out to its constituents through a variety of open training programs and seminars from time to time. One of the prestigious program conducted in 2018 was Jishu Kotei Kanketsu (JKK) by senior leaders from Toyota, and attended by CEOs as well as quality assurance professionals. Membership of ISQ is open to individual professionals from all fields: academia, consulting, manufacturing and service organizations, besides government, education, healthcare and NGOs.
