Department
Geography
Introduction
The Geography Department at Deomornoi Degree College was established in 1995 and initially offered Regular Courses for the B.A. degree following approval from Gauhati University. Recognising growing academic interest and demand, the department sought further expansion. In 2005, it received formal permission from Gauhati University to introduce Major Courses in Geography. This development marked a significant step in strengthening the department’s academic profile and providing students with greater specialization opportunities in the field.
