Observed on October 20, World Statistics Day highlights the vital role of statistics in enhancing our understanding of the world.
Statistics is the backbone of informed decision-making, laying the foundation for a future shaped by clear and precise data. This year’s World Statistics Day theme—“Driving change with quality statistics and data for everyone”—highlights the global imperative to make data not only available, but meaningful and actionable.
Standards are the silent enablers behind this transformation. They help ensure that accurate data is logged, collected and interpreted consistently across sectors, enabling confidence in every insight.
From defining statistical vocabulary to guiding process management, standards such as BS ISO 3534-1:2006, ASTM E2586:19e1, PD IEC TR 62829-1:2019, and many others create the scaffolding that turns raw data into trusted knowledge. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) also advances national efforts with sector-specific standards that uphold data quality and management integrity across industries.
Together, these standards ensure that data is not just collected—it is made comparable, credible and capable of driving change.
This year, as we celebrate Diwali and World Statistics Day on the same day, let us pledge to illuminate our pathways to development through trusted data and resilient standards!
