Moreover, providing expertise in using simultaneously several statistical techniques based oncomplex data sets to meet a set of objectives effectively is an exigent job. The rapidly progressing globalization, fast paceof technological changes and competitive corporate world has made corporate bodies to acquire world reputed qualitystandards certificates. This has resulted in increased use of statistics at every sphere of corporate activities. We hope thatour trained statisticians will be able to meet such demands of the Industry and thus encouraging us to progress byincorporating necessary changes in our academic activities as and when we receive feedbacks.I am confident that our young boys and girls who have track record of accomplishment anddemonstrated potential will make useful contributions to whichever organizations they join.I do look forward to your favorable response by way of recruiting our students and for forging a mutuallybeneficial relationship with your organization.Vallabh VidyanagarMarch 20, 2010Ashok ShanubhogueProfessor and Head4
