Statistics was introduced as a subject in both B.A. and B.Sc. classes in the session 1973-74. The task of establishing and running the department in its infancy was entrusted to Dr. Prem Chand Gupta. Arrangements for the statistics laboratory, necessary instruments and calculators were made in this session. Over 500 books were purchased in the initial stage in the central library. Later, Prof. Mr. Jagdish Sharan Arora shouldered the responsibilities of the department, before shifting to Delhi University as a lecturer in 1979. Mr. Navalkant replaced him in 1979 but he was murdered in 1987 while putting up a heroic resistance against armed dacoits who had attacked his neighbor’s house. For his act of extraordinary courage and supreme self-sacrifice, Mr. Navalkant was posthumously awarded the Shourya Chakra (third highest peace time gallantry award of the country) by the President of India. Dr. Anil Kumar Varshney was appointed to the statistics department in 1988 and continues to serve as its only faculty and Head of the Department.
