    National Statistics Day is observed every year in India on June 29 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Professor Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, a pioneering figure in the field of statistics. The first celebration took place in 2007, following a government decision to honour his lasting impact on India’s statistical systems. His contributions helped lay the foundation for modern data collection and analysis in the country. The selection of his birth date was a fitting tribute to his lifelong commitment to statistical science.

    Professor Mahalanobis is best known for founding the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in 1931, which later became a key centre for research, education, and application of statistics. He was also instrumental in designing large-scale sample surveys and applying statistical methods to solve real-world problems. His innovative approach helped create more accurate economic and social policies in post-independence India. His statistical model was even adopted for the Second Five-Year Plan, focusing on industrial growth.

    The Government of India introduced National Statistics Day to raise awareness about the importance of statistics in shaping national policies. The aim is to spread knowledge about the role of data in economic planning, governance, and decision-making. The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation takes the lead in organising events across schools, universities, and research institutions. It also encourages the youth to understand and appreciate the significance of data-based decisions.

    Over the years, the day has gained prominence in academic and policy circles. Seminars, lectures, essay competitions, and workshops are held across the country to highlight the relevance of statistics. Institutions often take this opportunity to showcase their research and innovations in statistical methods. The day not only pays tribute to Prof. Mahalanobis but also promotes a culture of data literacy among citizens. It reinforces the idea that reliable statistics are crucial for development and progress.
