The Department of Statistics traces its origins to July 1970, when Statistics was introduced under the Department of Mathematics, guided by Prof. Jacob Masih. A year later, the arrival of Prof. I.D. Dhariyal—later affiliated with IIT Kanpur—led to the department being renamed the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Over time, renowned scholars like Prof. S.K. Bhargava (RBI, 1976), Prof. B.K. Taneja (USA, 1978), Prof. Amitabh Lal Das (Retd. I.A.S.), and Prof. Kuldeep Kumar (Bond University, Australia) contributed to its growth.
On May 5, 2001, the Department of Statistics became an independent entity under Dr. Santosh Kumar (retired 2018) and Dr. Randhir Singh (retired 2024). Since then, it has focused on academic excellence in statistical education and research, supported by a strong curriculum and impactful contributions from faculty and alumni.

Vision:

“To become a leading Department of Statistics, known for its excellence in teaching, research, and application of statistical methods, and to produce skilled and knowledgeable statisticians who contribute to evidence-based decision making in various fields.”
