Established in 1958, the Department of Statistics at Utkal University is the first Postgraduate Department of Statistics in Odisha and one of the oldest centres for statistical education and research in Eastern India. Its foundation was laid through the visionary efforts of Late Professor Bama Charan Das, with invaluable contributions from Late Dr. Chakradhar Mishra. Under the pioneering leadership of its first Head, Late Professor Sadhu Charan Das, and the distinguished stewardship of Professor J. Sarangi and successive faculty members, the Department has evolved into a vibrant centre of academic excellence. Over more than six decades, the Department has nurtured generations of accomplished academicians, researchers, administrators, and professionals who continue to serve the discipline and society with distinction.
