scientists from different regions of India as well as from foreign countries.
Chief
Guest on the Occasion, Prof. Akshaya Kumar Mishra, Director, Institute of
Mathematics & Application, Bhubaneswar said that a pure mathematician is
taking mathematics from society. Converting one idea to another idea is
transformation. Multivariate data analysis is also a transformation whose every
function can be superimpositions of wave. It is prime function of a research to
undergo with difficult path, to make the path of others simple. Something
challenging is always beautiful.

to boost up the interest in research. Problem identification, orientation
to ask why, research mindset, innovation and Inquisitiveness should come
up. We need certain methods to interpret analysis and comparing
statements to achieve core objectives He further said that Ph. D is the beginning
of research because a good teacher is also a good researcher.
