The Department of Geography plays a significant role in promoting the study of spatial relationships between humans and their environment. Geography is an interdisciplinary subject that integrates natural sciences, social sciences, and modern geospatial technologies to understand physical landscapes, human activities, and environmental changes. The department aims to provide students with comprehensive knowledge of physical geography, human geography, regional geography, and geospatial techniques such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing.
The Department of Geography was established 1956with the objective of developing academic excellence, research competence, and field-based knowledge among students. Since its establishment, the department has been actively engaged in teaching, research, field surveys, and community-based learning activities. The department focuses on developing analytical, technical, and research skills among students so that they can understand spatial patterns and contribute to sustainable development.
The teaching approach of the department combines theoretical knowledge with practical training through laboratory work, field surveys, project work, and dissertations. The department also encourages the use of modern teaching methods, including digital tools, smart classrooms, and geospatial technology, to enhance the learning experience.
The vision of the Department of Geography is to become a center of excellence in geographical education and research by promoting scientific understanding of the earth’s physical and human environments.
The department seeks to develop students’ capacity for critical thinking, spatial analysis, and field-based research.
Through quality teaching, innovative research, and community engagement, the department aspires to prepare students to become responsible citizens and professionals who can contribute to society through geographical knowledge and environmental awareness.
The department works towards the following missions:
The department offers geography courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Undergraduate Programme (UG)
physical geography, human geography, economic geography, and regional geography. Practical training includes map work, surveying techniques, and field surveys. Students are required to complete field-based projects and survey reports, which help them understand geographical data collection and analysis.
Postgraduate Programme (PG)
At the postgraduate level, students receive advanced training in geographical theories, research methodology, and geospatial techniques. Students are required to prepare dissertations based on fieldwork and research, which develop their analytical and research skills.
The Department of Geography maintains a departmental library that supports teaching and research activities. The library provides access to reference books, atlases, magazines, and academic journals.
Library Resources
These resources help students in map study, literature review, and research preparation. The departmental library complements the central college library by providing subject-specific materials for geography students.
The department is equipped with modern teaching aids and practical instruments that support geographical learning and fieldwork.
These devices are used for documenting fieldwork, recording geographical features, and preparing visual presentations.
The department provides internet facilities to support digital learning and research activities.
Students and faculty use these facilities to access online journals, geospatial data, digital maps, and academic resources. Internet access also supports the use of GIS software, digital mapping tools, and online learning platforms.
The Department of Geography promotes research in various fields such as environmental studies, regional development, rural development, population studies, and geospatial analysis.
The department also offers doctoral research opportunities.
