The NRS and IRS have merged into a new identity called Readership Studies Council of India in 2011. RSCI is now now conducting the biggest reaership survey in the world. Before 2006 both IRS and NRS released their reports. After 2006, NRS stopped the exercise. IRS was the only research body left. NRS was managed by INS, AAAI, and ABC. IRS was conducted by MRUC. The two have come together and a new committee has been formed. The most important issues the RSCI needs to resolve include the size of the sample, the kind of qualitative research to be done, the investment and the periodicity of the research report. Right now the sample size is 2,62,000. The report is called  IRS. Lynn de Souza is the first elected chairperson of the RSCI. Her job is to transform the study so that it becomes more relevant to a changing media world.
