Online Continuing Education Programme on “Current trends in Data Analytics through hands-on Experience”

Data analysis is an important aspect to understand problems faced by an organization, and to explore data in meaningful ways. Data in itself is merely facts and figures. Data analysis organizes, interprets, structures and presents the data into useful information that provides context for the data. This context can then be used by decision-makers to take action with the aim of enhancing productivity.
