About the Department

Due to the growing interest in studying geography among students, the Geography Department was established in 2002. It was initially established as a General subject, then in 2005, the first Geography Honours programme was initiated. The courses in this department are affiliated to The University of Burdwan.  There were once two rooms and a small laboratory in the initial phase of development. The geography department has improved along with advancements in college facilities. In 2011, a large laboratory cum teachers’ room was established and Remote Sensing based computer laboratory was started in 2014. The department has now been shifted to the newly constructed Annex Building 1^st Floor in 2021 with modern facilities and amenities. The department now has a separate general laboratory, a lab for RS-GIS, a smart classroom, high-speed internet connectivity, digital printing, and a large inventory of instruments. The faculty at the department is outstanding in both teaching and research, and they are all very energized and enthusiastic. In its twenty-year history, this department has generated some extremely bright young minds who have made contributions to a variety of societal fields.
