On June 29th, 2026, our department came together to celebrate National Statistics Day, honoring the birth anniversary of Professor P.C. Mahalanobis. Guided by this year’s pivotal national theme, "Unlocking the Potential of Administrative Data," the event bridged historical legacy with modern, cutting-edge advancements.
The celebration kicked off with an insightful industrial lecture by Mr. Reetabrata Bhattacharyya (Senior Principal Biostatistician, Merck Specialist Pvt. Ltd.). His expertise provided our students and faculty with invaluable real-world perspectives on how statistical science drives global innovation today.
The energy of the day was sustained by a series of inspiring, actionable lectures and presentations from our respected faculty members and brilliant students, whose shared insights sparked vibrant academic discussions: "A deep dive into the profound impact of Professor P.C. Mahalanobis, the enduring importance of National Statistics Day and an exploration into the fascinating concepts of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), showcasing the evolving landscape of modern data science."
A huge thank you to all the speakers, organizers, faculty, and students who contributed their time and energy. Your active participation is what made this celebration an overwhelming success!
