About the Department
“If geography is prose, maps are iconography.”
- Lennart Meri
Geography, an integrating science provides a systematic understanding of the relationship between humans and natural phenomena in a particular space. The Geography Department of this college opened its avenues to women in order to impart and dissipate knowledge in the field of geography in 1963 under the stewardship of Dr. (Mrs) B. L. Singh. Initially the college offered the subject as a core course (non-honours now) gradually introducing Honours in 1989. With a faculty strength of 4 permanent teachers and a laboratory bearer, the total intake capacity of the department is 150 students (35 Honours, 40 GE and 75 HS courses).
The world is challenged by various issues arising from human-nature conflicts which are dynamic and unique in their spatial settings. A geographic approach towards understanding these problems through qualitative and quantitative analysis and their depiction in the spatial context is vital to finding out probable solutions and amelioration. Following the spirit of the discipline, the department seeks to develop critical thinking towards understanding the human-environment interactions in space among its students through a blend of classroom teaching, fieldwork, excursions and their presentations through quantitative techniques and mapping.
The pedagogy involves both the traditional “chalk and talk method”, use of maps, globes, equipments, etc., along with the use of modern tools and techniques like audio-visual aids, ICT, presentations, documentaries, invited talks and the like.
Students are encouraged to present seminars based upon fieldworks or excursions and ask questions; as an act of motivation, they are given prizes for their presentations or assignments based upon their performance. Students are taught to use various instruments, interpret topographical maps and satellite imageries. They are being trained in computer cartography and GIS recently.
The teachers, as mentors offer career related, personal and psychological guidance counseling. They are actively involved in enriching the curricular aspects of the students and encourage the students in participating in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The departmental wall magazine “The GeoM” showcases the creative writing and artistic pursuits of the departmental students.
The department has successfully produced alumni who are actively engaged in a wide arena ranging from academics, research, administration, management, legal services, planning besides being self-employed.
Vision Of The Department
With the unique blend stressing on the theoretical and applied aspects of the discipline, the department visualizes to forge ahead as a leader in geography education in both UG and PG programmes for the creation of responsible global citizens working towards the betterment of the society in general and environment in particular. We would also like to cater to the needs of the student community by imparting life skills through value based education.
Mission of the Department

Message from the HoD
The Department of Geography of M.D.K.G.College has evolved significantly since its inception in 1963 to its current state by the outstanding contribution of every faculty members associated with it. The teachers are actively involved in the dissemination of knowledge and skills through theoretical and experiential learning and research activities as well. The department boasts of excellent results in the B.A. final exams under the affiliating university producing Best Graduates, Toppers and high rank holders over the years. Catering to a few students who opted for geography as a core subject during the past to a department with a high demand for seats in Honours, the department has produced some prominent alumni who are doing well in their respective fields.
In order to keep up with the dynamic nature of the discipline and to make learning more interesting, the department has been inviting prominent academicians and experts to deliver talks to enlighten the students. The teacher-student relationship is highly commendable as teachers take great efforts to uplift the slow learners by constant motivation and feedback; the advanced learners are provided impetus to further their academic performance. During the pandemic the department had arranged for an interactive session with a Clinical Psychologist in 2020 to boost up the mental health of the students.
A well-stocked library and the laboratories are other facets of the department. Following the syllabus adopted under CBCS and NEP it is pertinent that a fully functional GIS laboratory be set up at the earliest to give hands on training to the students. The department also envisions imparting value based education for skill development to other students as well provided adequate infrastructural arrangement is made available.
Each year the fresh faces of the students invigorate our spirits to extend the light of geographic learning to illuminate the society with hope for a better future.
Warm regards,
Dr. Moutusi Bagchi.
