NEW DELHI, OCT 14, 2025: Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and New & Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, will preside over the World Standards Day programme today. The event is being organized by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the national standards body functioning under the aegis of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Government of India. B.L. Verma, Minister of State, will also grace the occasion.

The celebration will be held at the National Institute of Training for Standardization (NITS). During the event, the National Lighting Code of India 2025 will be released, alongside the launch of the Learning Management System (LMS) and the Online Standards Development (OSD) Module of the BIS Standards Portal.

The theme for this year's celebration, "A Shared Vision for a Better World: Standards for Sustainable Development Goals," emphasizes the crucial role of international standards as enablers of cooperation and progress. These standards serve as catalysts for alignment among governments, industries, academia, and civil society in the pursuit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

BIS will be celebrating World Standards day at various locations across the country.

World Standards Day (WSD) celebrates these unseen frameworks and the developers-experts, scientists, engineers, policymakers, and innovators-who ensure quality, safety, and sustainability. The first celebration was held in 1970 to raise global awareness about the importance of standards in ensuring safety, quality, and international trade. The ISO, along with other organizations like the IEC and ITU, established this day to highlight the collaborative efforts of experts in creating global standards.
