Speaking of the teaching and learning of statistics at the undergraduate level, a moderate amount of training in small-scale data-handling seems to be an indispensable part of an introductory program in statistics. In the Pakistani system of statistical education, however, there is very little emphasis on the conduct of practical projects involving collection and analysis of real data. Realising the importance of such projects, the Department of Statistics at Kinnaird College for Women, Lahore initiated a series of small-scale statistical surveys back in 1985. .Each of these surveys has consisted of (a)identification of a topic of interest, (b) formulation of a questionnaire, (c) collection of data from a sample of individuals / a population of interest, (d) a fairly detailed analysis of the collected data, and (e) presentation of the survey findings in front of teachers and students in the form of an educational and entertaining program. Combining information with other items of interest, such a program provides an effective forum for increasing the popularity of a discipline that is generally considered to be a tough and "dry" subject.
