DMK government open about statistics and data: Deputy Chief Minister
Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin said in Chennai on Monday that while some governments might hesitate or refuse to release statistics and data, the DMK government was open about them and had kept them in the public domain. It provided statistics to the people by undertaking many surveys, he added. Speaking at the 19th National Statistics Day celebrations, he said the DMK government was open about its statistics and data, he said: 'Some governments would hide certain statistics and hesitate to release them. Those statistics may not be favourable to the government. So, they may hide it.' When statistics and data were hidden, researchers worked on social conditions and policy-makers will not get to know the reality, Mr. Udhayanidhi contended. 'But, as far as our government is concerned, we have complete trust in our programmes and actions. That is why we keep all our data in the public domain. Even if there is a dip in the programmes, when it is pointed out, we are willing to rectify things.' A memorandum of understanding was signed between the Department of Economics and Statistics and the Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation on imparting training to candidates under the Naan Mudhalvan programme. Mr. Udhyanidhi also handed over prizes to winners who emerged victorious in the State and district-level competitions. State Planning Commission's Executive Vice-Chairperson J. Jeyaranjan and senior officials were present at the function.

19th National Statistics Day celebrated
Sri Padmavati Mahila Visvavidyalayam (SPMVV) Department of Statistics marked the 19th National Statistics Day to commemorate 133rd birth anniversary of Prashanth Chandra Mahalanobis, considered the 'Father of Indian Statistics'. The programme was organised in association with the Indian Society for Probability and Statistics (ISPS) Data Science Centre, Tirupati, on Sunday. ISPS honorary president Prof. P. Rajasekhara Reddy stressed on the need for the recently-opened Data Science Centre to promote Statistics among the younger generation, who are reportedly less inclined towards this field of science. He also shed light on the courses to be offered by the centre from the academic year 2025-26. 'The Data Science Centre will be a knowledge hub for many budding statisticians and will serve as a consultancy centre for applied researchers,' Prof. Reddy said. Prof. V. Uma, Vice-Chancellor of SPMVV, who inaugurated the Prof M. Mathai Self Study Library at the centre, called statistics an indispensable subject playing a vital role in any field of research. Prof. Venkat Ikkurthy, a US-based statistician and researcher, highlighted the need for a dedicated team of well trained statistical experts to address the challenging issues that arise in Machine Learning and also to extend their expertise in Artificial Intelligence.
