About Geography

           Geography is the study of human and physical environment. Geography is richly diverse and comprehensive subject that provides us with an understanding of our changing and inter connected world. The subject combines topics related with physical and human process over space and time. It helps to understand our inter connections among the groups of people, and in between people and their environment. The main themes are physical and human geography. Physical geography examines natural process and features including the atmosphere, landforms and ecosystems. Human geography investigates the activities and impacts of people on the earth. Geography aims to introduce students to a world beyond their everyday realities. It includes programs that provide for the study of people, places environment, culture, time continuity, change, individual identity, individual groups and institutions, power, authority, governance and participatory skills and knowledge and understanding of the world around them, so as to become engaged citizens.
