The Geography Department at PDUGMC was established in 2020 with the aim of providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the Earth’s physical features, human societies, and the interactions between the two. The department offers under graduate and H.S level courses and research opportunities for students interested in exploring various aspects of geography. Along with the theoretical framework, the department has established well-equipped Cartography laboratory and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Lab to learn and enhance their skills through practical applications in the fields of Cartography, Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS (Global Positioning System).

       The Department of Geography has always committed for excellence. The primary objective of the Department is to provide students with both the breadth and depth of knowledge in Geography required for analyzing and interpreting spatial patterns and processes. Through interdisciplinary approaches, the department seeks to foster critical thinking, spatial reasoning, and a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of the world we live in. The department’s faculty consists of experienced scholars and researchers who are specialized in different subfields of geography, including physical geography, human geography, environmental geography, GIS, and remote sensing.
