The Department provides all biostatistics

the planning stage of the analysis of data are provided to the faculty for
research and post-graduate theses. Among many firsts achieved by the
Department are computerization of payroll (1987), MEDLARS (1991), e-mail
(1992) and UCMS Homepage on the web (1996). An enormous database of more than
30 health indicators containing information for each state and
age/gender/urban-rural areas since the year 1971 is among the major
achievements. The thrust areas of research are health indicators and health databases. Projects funded by agencies such as WHO, the World Bank and UNAIDS have been conducted. The department prepared a full book on ‘11 Health Questions about the 11 SEAR Countries’, and chapters for biregional report of WHO, both of which are very significant achievement. Networking of more than 200 computers has been completed. Internet facility to all has been provided with 4Mbps radio link from ERNET.
