crops. With his success in the development of replicated progeny and compact family block
designs, he made significant contribution to the statistical methods in quantitative genetics. He
came out with yardsticks to assess the progress of agriculture in each state of the country. Dr.
Panse was the elected secretary of the Indian Society of Agricultural Statistics.
