                     Geography was started since the 4th and 5th century as a branch of knowledge on Global level. It is a part of human civilization. It is started in India since 11th century in the form of Astronomy. There are two main branches of geography., one of them is Physical geography and second one is Human geography. Physical geography is related to study of lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. Human geography includes the study of relationship between Nature & Man. Environmental Geography was introduced on Global level in 1970. It was started in India after a decade. Now a day's GIS & Remote Sensing, analytical study of GPS, Petrology and Mineralogy  are  challenging branches in geography all over the world.

                     Geography is science, it includes the study of relationship between nature & Man. Previous nature of Geography was purely descriptive. Now a days it is analytical & more scientific. Use of statistical methods, GIS & Remote sensing is already introduced in the department.
