The Department of Geography & Resource Management came into existence in the year 1997 as one of the Academic Departments of Nagaland University at headquarters, Lumami. The thin enrollment can be attributed to the limited number of colleges which offers Geography as a subject at the degree level. However, this Department is a rapidly progressing and has introduced applied courses on Natural Resources Management along with Geography using Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS technology in the Post-Graduate programme under School of Sciences. Enough care is taken to include state/region related courses of the academic programme. The courses, especially those which have been revised recently is in tune with the Model Curriculum provided by the UGC.
