Misuse of statistics
Prof. Umesh Singh, Coordinator, DST Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences, Prof Sengupta, Dean Faculty of Science, Prof Joshi, other distinguished members of faculty of the University, and above all, dear students. I thank you all for inviting me to be in your midst during the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya. It is a great honour and privilege for me.
Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya
2. You have provided an opportunity to me to pay my tribute to the ‘Mahamana’ by delivering a lecture as part of the celebrations of his 150th birth anniversary. He was one of the greatest personalities that this nation has ever produced. In many senses, he was what most of the top class institutions today vie to produce. He was, at the same time a great patriot, an eminent educationist, a teacher of teachers, a silver-tongued transcendental orator, an ancient as well as a modern leader, a reluctant but an eminent lawyer, a social reformer, a great human being, a torch-bearer of the downtrodden, and above all, a great nation builder. He lived his life for us and for the future generations. Each and every alumnus of BHU will remain ever grateful to him for having created this university, a capital of all discipline.
My association with BHU
3. Of course, some of you know of my association with this esteemed University and the city of Varanasi. I stayed in this city from my early childhood, did my schooling here and then joined the BHU for my graduation and post graduation. Then, I became a lecturer here while I pursued my Ph.D. I taught here for about 5 years and regard that time as one of the best periods of my life. Though my career progression in the banking system including joining the RBI was not as a statistician, I must confess that the analytical ability and articulation skill based on sound knowledge of statistics, which I developed during my academic career both as a student and teacher of Statistics at BHU, greatly
