STATSTRUCK

-


The Department of Commerce, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Pune Lavasa Campus, proudly hosted STATSTRUCK: Statistics – The Story Behind the Numbers, an engaging academic event that brought statistics to life for students. This initiative was organized by the students of I BCom FA as part of their Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) I B activity. The event was held on 20th September 2025 at the Activity Hub, from 11:30 AM to 01:00 PM.

STATSTRUCK was conceived with the vision of bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application of statistics. While statistics is often perceived as a subject dominated by formulas and computations, this event transformed it into an accessible and inspiring discipline. It highlighted how statistics can tell meaningful stories, solve problems, and guide informed decision-making.

The session focused on making learning experiential and interactive. Rather than relying on a one-way lecture format, STATSTRUCK featured activities, presentations, and discussions that encouraged active participation. Students demonstrated statistical concepts such as mean, median, probability, correlation, and regression through real-world applications. Working in teams, they analyzed data to uncover patterns, highlight trends, and explain their relevance across fields such as finance, economics, management, and everyday life.

Through this approach, STATSTRUCK successfully combined theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice. Students not only strengthened their understanding of statistical concepts but also enhanced their collaborative, analytical, and communication skills. The event created an environment where peers could learn from one another, deepening their appreciation for data interpretation and its real-world impact.

Another significant aspect of the event was its focus on developing critical thinking skills. In today’s information-rich world, the ability to extract meaningful insights from data and identify potential biases is essential. STATSTRUCK used case studies and examples to illustrate how statistics can be applied to present objective narratives, support evidence-based conclusions, and promote sound decision-making.

The event was more than just an academic requirement; it was a celebration of intellectual curiosity. By connecting classroom learning to practical scenarios, STATSTRUCK made statistics relevant and memorable. Students reported gaining a deeper appreciation of how numbers influence business decisions, policy-making, scientific research, and everyday choices.

STATSTRUCK also reflected the commitment of the School of Commerce, Finance & Accountancy to aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education. By creating an inclusive and engaging platform for learning, the department ensured that students experienced statistics not merely as a subject but as a way of thinking critically about the world.

Overall, STATSTRUCK proved to be an insightful and inspiring experience. It successfully showed that behind every number lies a story, and it motivated students to explore the narratives hidden within data. The event left participants with valuable knowledge and an enriched perspective on the role of statistics in shaping decisions and understanding reality.

The tranquillity and the close community in Lavasa help students have a clear mind and fulfil their dreams. This space is, according to the community, more conducive to education and learning.  Having an academic institution nestled in this valley is a true example of discovering roads less travelled.
