INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 19 – 21 December, 2016
Three-day National Workshop on Data and Statistical Analysis using R Programming was organised at
INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar from 19 to 21 December, 2016. Mr. Hitesh Solanki, Scientist B (CS),
st
th
Mr. Divyakant Vaghela, Scientist B (LS) and Mr. H G Hosamani, Scientist C (LS) coordinated the
programme. Dr. Jagdish Arora, Director lighted the ceremonial lamp along with Mr. Manoj Kumar K.,

Scientist D (CS), Mr. Hitesh Solanki, Scientist B (CS), Mr. DivyakantVaghela, Scientist B (LS), INFLIBNET
Centre during the inaugural function. The aim of this Workshop was to provide basic training in
understanding the concepts in data science and statistical analysis using R programming. The R
programming language is one of the most widely used programming languages among the data

scientists and researchers. It is open source software and allows integration with other applications.
Theoretical sessions were conducted during the Workshop are given below.
