The Department also plans to develop a state of art Remote Sensing and GIS laboratory for the students so that they can have access to the most updated knowledge of this branch of Geography, which is emerging as a potential area of recruitment. The Department has started the Post Graduate degree (M.Sc.) course in Geography from the academic year 2018-19. The Department also offers a Ph.D. program in Geography which commenced from 2014-15. Future plans also include the offering of a diploma course in Remote Sensing and GIS and surveying.
