The Department of Geography was established in March-2021. The Department offers 2 years M.A./M.Sc. programme. The Department  is always committed for excellence. Along with the theoretical framework, the department has established well-equipped Cartography laboratory and GIS/DIP Lab to learn and enhance our student’s skills through practical applications in the fields of Cartography, Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS. The Department is situated in the Kargil Campus of the University of Ladakh. Presently the Department has faculty strength of 3, comprising 1 permanent faculty, and two on contractual basis.

Peer Learning: Peer Learning creates reciprocal learning avenues involving contribution to knowledge, ideas and skill built up among students. It is envisaged as a method of progressing to mutual learning. It crafts informality within a formal environment focusing on team work and co-operation. Capacity Building: Knowledge building along with capacity building enables the enhancement of students abilities to understand and deal with real life situations. Capacity building augments a student in durable and enduring manner such that they carry the seeds of such learning beyond the classroom, throughout the life as it encompasses and acts as a bridge between learnt knowledge and real world. Tutorials/Remedial Classes/Seminars: All these are held to help students to learn to achieve their potential. Many have to be mentored cajoled or pushed to bring out their best. Faculty members discretely monitor their attendance, written assignments, practical record works, and try to understand their challenges-whether they are language skills, health related or emotional. Students are encouraged to be self confident. Field Study Tours: The primary aim of a field visit is to gather geographical details. Reinforcing experiential and relational learning is the key goal of conducting a field trip for students. This gives the  opportunity for students to have rich learning experiences on field trips and training can serve as the beginning of their interests in subject specific researches. The objective of field tour is also to stimulate reasoning and critical thinking among students.
