As an alumnus of Mar Athanasius College, Kothamangalam, where I pursued my B.Sc. in Statistics, I vividly recall the rigorous yet enriching curriculum that laid a solid foundation for my career in statistics. The Department of Statistics at Mar Athanasius College was more than just an educational setting, the professors were not only experts in their respective fields but also mentors who inspired us to explore the depths of statistical theory and its practical applications. My time at MA College was transformative. It equipped me with the analytical skills and critical thinking necessary to excel in the field of statistics. The lessons I learned and the relationships I formed during my graduation have been invaluable throughout my career. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the faculty members of the Department of Statistics for their unwavering support and guidance. Their dedication to nurturing young statisticians is commendable and continues to positively impact many lives, just as it did mine.
