Dr. Prem Kamboj, retired Principal, participated as the chief guest and keynote speaker in the first technical session. Speaking on the topic of data quality and standardization, Dr. Prem Kamboj stated that data quality plays a crucial role in making informed decisions.

High quality and standards are the foundation of good research. He urged students to evaluate the quality of data before using it in their research, ensuring high-quality results. Speaking on the topic of types of data in the second technical session, Mr. Surendra Kumar Sheoran, Chair of the Department of Economics, explained that if we want to conduct research, we must have knowledge of the different types of data. Unless we know the nature of the data we need, we cannot collect accurate data. Therefore, we must have a clear understanding of the different types of data. Citing examples from everyday life, he highlighted qualitative and quantitative data, primary and secondary data. Speaking on data collection in the third technical session, Dr. Amandeep explained that data plays a vital role in every field.
