  • Catering to the needs of Present Day Problems & allied Thrust Areas and Service to Human Race.

7. Program Specific Outcome (PSO)

  • The study of Geomorphology helps to gain an insight into the processes of landform development and geomorphic hazards. A possible outcome is their eligibility for Environmental and Hazard Management Projects.
  • The branches of Economic Geography and Human Geography make them capable of identifying the development prerogatives of regions and applying them in formulation of regional development plans.
  • The study of Urban Geography prepares them in the field of Urban Planning. Geographers can thus have their say in Urban Development Boards.
  • Demographic Analysis becomes an integral part of Geography through the branch of Population Geography. The implications of population structures, growth and migration are studied. They are thus made eligible for their contribution in Population Policies and Census Data Collection and Analysis.
  • The specialization in Remote Sensing and use of Geographical Information System softwares train them for recruitment in Government Space Application Projects that use GIS and satellite image interpretations for resource mapping and planning.
  • Biogeography (Soil Geography and Zoogeography) introduces the students to the characteristics of soil regions, floral and faunal regions. This holistic knowledge makes them capable of assessing and developing forestry projects, wildlife conservation plans and probable land use policies of rural areas.

8. Course Outcomes

  • Students will develop a solid understanding of the concepts of "space," "place" and "region" and their importance in explaining world affairs.
  • Students will understand general demographic principles and their patterns as well as patterns of cultural, political and economic phenomena at regional and global scales.
  • Students will be able to synthesize geographic knowledge and apply innovative research strategies to solve problems in resource conservation, environmental change, and sustainable development within the community, region, and world.
  • Students will be able to apply cartographical, Remote Sensing, GIS techniques in mapping all the above stated phenomena
  • Students will have employment opportunities inCensus Organization,Survey of India, Institute of Population Studies,National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organization,Regional and Urban Planning and Tourism Department
