About This Subject

Geography is the study of the Earth's surface, environment and human settlements. Students learn about physical features like mountains, rivers and deserts, as well as human topics like population, agriculture and urbanisation.

For students from Hanumangarh and Rawatsar, this subject is especially interesting because it includes detailed study of Rajasthan's geography — the Thar Desert, irrigation canals, the Ghaggar River and the agricultural development of this region.

Geography also involves map work and practical skills which are useful in many careers including teaching, civil services and environmental management.
