1. Project Title:
Winter School for N-E College/University Students
2. Name of Proposing Scientists:
Head, TASU, ISI, N-E Centre

3. Name of Others Scientists associated with their affiliation:
From the Institute:
Dr. Saurabh Trivedi and faculty members from ISI Kolkata and ISI Tezpur.
From Other Institutions:
NA
4. Date of Commencement: 01/04/2021
5.Expected Date of Completion: 31/03/2024
6. Project Summary(Max. 200 words):
The proposed program is a two-week training program on Mathematics and/or Statistics to be
imparted to 30 students from the North-Eastern (N-E) states. The participants would be
nominated by some Colleges/Universities/Institutions in the N-E region. The colleges would
be chosen based on their NAAC rankings. Winter school in Mathematics has been regularly
organized at the N-E Centre since 2016-17 and has been very well received by the participants
and Institutions in the region. The project is proposed to be continued in 2021-22 and 2022-
23 as well, since without such schools/training programmes continuing for at least a few years,
the real impact is unlikely to be some real worth.

9. Objectives:
This project aims at conducting training programs on Mathematics and/or Statistics for
students from North-Eastern states so as to equip them with better training at their respective
levels so that application of statistical and mathematical tools in higher education and also
decision-making at government level increases significantly. The program aims to inculcate
research interests in new/advanced topics of Mathematics/Statistics among students of the
region so as to motivate them to pursue higher studies and take up research as a career option.
