he department of Geography was started on September, 21st, 1992 with 19 students following the demands from the large number of students of the college. The then Governing Body of the College resolved unanimously to start the course in the under-graduate level from the session 1991-92 and subsequently the University of Gauhati was appealed to affiliate the subject as pass course in both the streams. The university accorded permission in the session 1993-94 and 1994-95 for introducing the in first year and second year courses reapectively. The temporary affiliation upto TDC third year was accorded in 1995. the department started teaching Geography as one of the subjects in Higher Secondary level from session 2002-03.

Teaching staff:
  • Dilip Borah, M.A. (1992- ) Head of the Departemnt.
  • Gunin Borah, M.A., (1995- )
Mission, goal and vision:

The main objective of the department is to impart fair knowledge of Geography to the students. It is also hoped that some of the students will find Geography interesting and worthy of study. Such students will continue to study Geography in higher level and at the end of the course some of them will take up such profession as Geography teachers in various educational institutions, government jobs, tea industries, etc. As Geography is an optional subject in various competitive examinations, students will do well by doing Geography as one of the elective subjects.

The future goal of the department is to introduce Major course which will help the students of the college pursue higher studies in the subject after completion of the Degree course.

Other activities of the department:

In addition to the normal teaching both in class-room and laboratory, the departmental teachers involved themselves in guiding the students in field-trips, educational excursion and doing survey works. Other departmental activities include seminars, discussions and quiz competitions. A wall-magazine titled ‘Bhu-Darshan’ is being published by the students of the department.
