Solution

Sure, here is a step-by-step guide on how to write a Python script for this task:

  1. Import the necessary libraries:
import csv
from collections import defaultdict
  1. Open the CSV file and read its content:
with open('employees.csv', 'r') as file:
    reader = csv.reader(file)
    next(reader)  # Skip the header
    data = list(reader)
  1. Create a dictionary to store the count of employees in each department:
departments = defaultdict(int)
for row in data:
    departments[row[1]] += 1  # Assuming department name is in the second column
  1. Open a new text file and write the report:
with open('report.txt', 'w') as file:
    for department, count in departments.items():
        file.write(f'{department}: {count}\n')

This script assumes that the CSV file is named 'employees.csv' and the department name is in the second column of each row. The output report will be saved in a file named 'report.txt'. Each line in the report will contain a department name followed by the number of employees in that department.

Please replace the file names and column index as per your actual data.
