We have gathered here today to celebrate the seventh Statistics Day Conference of the Reserve Bank. The Reserve Bank instituted the Statistics Day Conference to honour the memory of Prof. P. C. Mahalanobis, who has had an enduring influence on planning and policy making in India.
This annual conference has developed into an important forum for the Reserve Bank’s Research Departments to meet with researchers and engage on a specific theme of statistical analysis. The theme for this year’s conference is: “Challenges to Policy Making and Evolving Role of Statistical Analysis”. 2.
