“Present is the Key to Past”
-James Hutton
Geography is a multidisciplinary subject of social sciences. It helps provide a wide range knowledge and understanding that is essential for making sense of a world. This subject tries to impart a geographical approach to the students thus making them capable of explaining aspects of the natural and social environment where they live and in answering some fundamental environmental, socio-economical, and political questions. we try to blend both the traditional and modern methodological tools in our classrooms. Thus, it involves the traditional approach of fieldwork, mapping and spatial analysis, complemented by the latest statistical methods, computer cartography, Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems.
