INTRODUCTION :-

In today’s age of information, Statistics plays pivotal role in the scheme of “general education”. No scientific as well as social research can be effectively carried out without a grasp of statistical methods. Thus it has become an integral part of our academic disciplines.

The department of statistics was established in 1976, and is committed to train students to meet the demand and developing careers in teaching and other government and public sector organizations. The department offers programmes leading to M.Sc., M.Phil. and Ph.D. in statistics. It also offers a postgraduate diploma in Computing and Data Analysis.

The department is located in the new faculty building. It has got a well-equipped computer lab with state of the art computing facilities. The seminar library of the department contains a good collection of books and journals on various fields of statistics.

MESSAGE:-

It gives me immense pleasure to write this message for the annual report of the Department. I hope that the Department will show tremendous growth in the near future. Statistics as an independent discipline has a relatively short history but now a days statistics has become part of the curriculum for an ever increasing number of disciplines. As a statistician, we have a fundamental obligation to the society.

Currently we have tmelve PhD and Seven M.Phil scholars enroll in our Department. Among these, four PhD and four M.Phil scholars enrolled during the year. During the session 2006-07, six scholars successfully completed M.Phil degree.

Fifteen Pentium II computers were replaced with Pentium IV at the computer lab of the Department. Internet facility is available to each and every student in the department. Recently eight laptops were purchased for the PhD scholars.

Finally, I take this opportunity to appreciate full cooperation of the worthy Vice Chancellor, and the faculty members of the Department because I believe without their support it would have not been possible. I hope that the honorable Vice Chancellor will provide adequate help for promotion of the Department.

VISION:

Existing physical facilities availableareInadequate. One computer lab equipped with 18 computers, a seminar library with books mostly catering to the needs of M.Sc. Statistics students, three class rooms, 9 faculty offices, an office for the ministerial staff, and a girls common room.

 The department has currently one computer lab which does not have sufficient facilities for the existing students (given the fact that “Data Processing and Statistical Computing” is now a compulsory subject). With the introduction of new programmes and further enrollment of students, we shall require enhanced computing facilities with a more sophisticated and large computer lab. It would be desirable to have separate computer labs for masters and research students as well as faculty members respectively.

 The department’s seminar library is short of sufficient books especially research journals. With the enhancement of the department’s academics, we shall need a well-equipped and sophisticated library with sufficient number of books and research journals.

Presently, the department has no space for seminar/conference activities. With the growing academic activities, we shall need a well-furnished and spacious hall for seminar/conference purposes.

The present accommodation for the department is becoming increasingly limited for various academic needs of the department. We are short of classrooms and offices for faculty members. With the introduction of new academic programmes, the enrollment of students will increase and consequently we shall have to recruit more faculty members. This would require further physical space for classrooms, faculty offices and computer lab. The present space would be extremely limited to cope with such a requirement. We shall, therefore, need a separate and enhanced accommodation for our department.

The Department has recently introduced new curriculum for the M.Sc. program which includes study tours and field trips to various statistical and research organizations, collecting data and report writing. Further, as stated earlier, the department intends to introduce new and more applied academic programs, which shall involve extensive visits of students to the field and to various organizations throughout the country. For this purpose, we shall need two appropriate vehicles, one 15-seater Toyota Hiace and a 25-seater coaster for the students.

The department of Statistics is going through an expansion stage both in academic and organizational structures. The time has come to introduce new disciplines of Biostatistics and Demography. Both master and PhD degrees will be offered in these subjects. The department shall need better academic and physical infrastructure to cope with this situation. We shall have to recruit more faculties, and shall have to provide more space, computing as well as library facilities to the growing number of students. For the purpose of field trips and surveys, we shall need appropriate vehicles for students as wells as faculty members. The funding proposed will enable us to fulfill our vision of turning the department of Statistics into a real center of excellence. The department of Statistics would be able not only to provide better education and research facilities in the field of statistics, but also to provide a platform for statistical collaboration with researchers from other fields of knowledge.
