Chandigarh, June 29, 2015: Haryana Finance and Planning Minister Capt.Abhimanyu has launched e-vishleshak (statistical software) on the occasion of National Statistical Day here today. The day is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of Prof. Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, the founder of the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata.
While describing the day as very important in the history of economic administration of the country, Capt. Abhimanyu said that e-vishleshak software was extremely required for administrative or government works. The entire data of various departments would be available for analysis through this software. The departments can make their schemes effective on the basis of reliable statistics. Any department can examine the statistics available through the software.
Terming the e-vishleshak software as Information Destination, he said that statistics had been a very interesting subject for him which could bring a huge job on a single page.
The Minister said that statistics are the basis of any scheme but lack of data and information were apparent in the schemes drafted earlier. The present government after its formation had decided to make all geographical and demographic data computerized so as to ensure efficient implementation of all schemes and programmes. He asked the officials of various departments to provide maximum statistics for e-vishleshak software so that these could be utilized while framing welfare programme and policies.
Principal Secretary Finance Mr. P.K. Das has shared important information about software on this occasion saying that earlier an error was detected after a gap of time but now the same could soon be detected which can be rectified with the help of e-vishleshak. / (SK Vyas, Jalandhar)
