The Department
of Statistics is the oldest among its counterparts in this country
and is one of the pioneering departments in the world in introducing Statistics as a separate and distinct discipline of study. It was created in
1941 in co-operation with Indian Statistical Institute and Presidency
college,
Calcutta, with professor P.C. Mahalanobis as the Honourary Head. This opened up, for the first time in India, facilities for the full-fledged training on the theory and application of statistics. |
|
Beginning its
journey in July 1941 at Presidency college premises, the Department
shifted to
Ashutosh Building of the
College Street Campus of the University in 1945 and subsequently to
its present location in the Ballygunge Science College Campus in
1964. From a modest beginning, the Department has over the last six
decades had a phenomenal expansion. It has continuously produced
illustrious students who have occupied important and prestigious
positions in institutions and organizations across the world.
|
 |
 |
The strength of
the Department, however, lies in its continual search for excellence and
for its endeavour to adapt itself to the changing scenario of
Statistics as a subject and to keep abreast with the best in the
emerging fields. The Department celebrated its Golden Jubilee during December 27-28, 1991and its
Diamond Jubilee during December 30, 2001- January 1, 2002.

Externally Funded Programmes
The department receives a grant in aid from the Department
of Science and Technology, Government of India, through the FIST programme.
It has also successfully conducted three phases of the DRS programme funded
by the University Grants Commission and the proposed next phase is currently
under review. The funds received are mainly disbursed towards development of
infrastructure.

Affiliated Societies and Journals
Since its inception in 1945, the Calcutta Statistical
Association (CSA) has been closely associated with the department and its
journal, the Bulletin of the CSA, draws largely upon the resources of the department for its
functioning. The department runs two other journals; namely, the Transactions
of the Indian Association for Productivity,
Quality and Reliability (IAPQR), and Stochastic Modeling and
Applications. In conjunction with CSA, the department hosts and jointly
organizes the Triennial Calcutta International Symposium on Probability and
Statistics, the sixth
edition of which was held during
