Prof. Rao is one of the top 10 Indian scientists of all time and a "Senior Policy and Statistics Advisor" for the Indian Heart Association, a non-profit focused on raising South Asian cardiovascular disease awareness. Rao has been honored by numerous colloquia, honorary degrees, festschrifts, and copious awards and medals. He is the author of 14 books and has published over 400 journal publications. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame of India's National Institution for Quality and Reliability (Chennai Branch) for his contribution to Industrial Statistics and the promotion of Quality Control Programs in Industries. He was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Miodrag Lovric (Editor) and Shlomo Sawilowsky, for their contribution to the International Encyclopedia of Statistical Science.
