India to Create Museum of Statistics

摘要

A five-acre plot on the campus of the University of Hyderabad is the future home of Sankhya: The National Museum of Statistics. Planners say it will be the first of its kind in the world. It is being designed to showcase the history of statistics; statistics' early applications for data relating to people and the state, for administrative purposes; and the emergence of statistics as a method for solving problems in all areas of human endeavor. The organizers also hope to create public interest and encourage the study of statistics with respect to the science and technology of the future.
