आँकड़ों की दुनिया का जादूगर: राष्ट्रीय सांख्यिकी दिवस (29 जून) | Wizard of Numbers: National Statistics Day

भारत प्रत्येक वर्ष 29 जून को राष्ट्रीय सांख्यिकी दिवस (National Statistics Day) मनाता है। यह दिन सांख्यिकी और आर्थिक योजना के क्षेत्र में दिवंगत प्रोफेसर और वैज्ञानिक प्रशांत चंद्र महालनोबिस (29.06.1893 – 28.06.1972) के कार्यों और योगदानों के सम्मान में समर्पित है।

प्रशांत चंद्र महालनोबिस और उनका योगदान

प्रोफेसर महालनोबिस को भारतीय सांख्यिकी संस्थान (ISI) के संस्थापक और भारतीय आर्थिक योजना के वास्तुकार के रूप में जाना जाता है। उन्होंने 'महालनोबिस दूरी' (Mahalanobis Distance) जैसे महत्वपूर्ण सांख्यिकीय सिद्धांतों का विकास किया, जो आज भी डेटा विश्लेषण और मशीन लर्निंग में उपयोग किए जाते हैं। उनके योगदान ने भारत की आर्थिक योजना और नीति निर्माण में क्रांतिकारी बदलाव लाया।
