 📊 On #NationalStatisticsDay, we remember P.C. Mahalanobis —a visionary who helped independent India see itself not through slogans, but through statistics. From creating the Mahalanobis distance to designing large-scale sample surveys , his work laid the foundation for data-driven policymaking. He believed in using numbers not for control, but for progress and planning . His legacy lives on through the Indian Statistical Institute , Sankhyā , and India's commitment to evidence-based development. Data matters—because people matter. 🇮🇳📈 Do read some of the books about this great personality: SFIT LIRC
