Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis (29 June 1893 - 28 June 1972) was a visionary Indian scientist whose prime contribution was in development of Statistics. Around his 100th birthday, cryptology research has been initiated at Indian Statistical Institute. After 25 years, the contribution of this institute in the field of cryptology has certainly received positive attention from the international community. In this context, to commemorate the 125th Birthday of Professor (this is the name by which most of the persons at Indian Statistical Institute remember Professor Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, the founder), we thought it could be a good idea to underline the connection of Statistics and Cryptology once more.
