Please give a short note. In recent years there has been rapid growth of education in Earth Sciences with new ideas and approaches that not only addresses earth’s origin and evolution but also plays a key role to understand the most important issue of climate change and assess our success in training our society for future environmental changes. The subject has charmed many students to pursue rewarding career in Earth Sciences. It is all about using an interdisciplinary approach to comprehend our Earth System to unravel the geological record from different components of the Earth. Our faculty is continuing the interdisciplinary research work aimed at producing high resolution geological records from India and world as well. They are involved in teaching through effective methods in the classroom, laboratory and field so that our students leave with skills and ability to work independently as well as in the multi-disciplinary teams to apply the knowledge of geosciences and meet the desired targets. During the last five years UG and PG syllabous have been revised and one new 5 yr integrated PG course has been started from the years 2009. As per the MHRD directive, the Department has revised its undergraduate syllabus according to the needs of Choice Based Credit System. In, addition modernization and up-gradation of the class room and laboratory has been taken up on priority level to improve students’ learning in the department. Other facilities generated for teaching and research include: (i) XRD and SEM Labs with new equipments are fully functional. (ii) State-of- the -art Petrology Lab (iii) Experimental Structural Geology Lab (iv) Geotechnical-Geophysical Lab (v) Palaeontology lab (Micro and Vertebrate Palaeontology) (vi) Oceanography Lab (vii) Remote Sensing and GIS Lab (viii) New labs and class rooms have been acquired and made functional in department. (ix) New faculty with expertise in basic and applied aspects of Earth Sciences have joined the department (x) Construction of new class rooms and research lab is in progress (2nd floor of the Department) (xi) Paleopedology lab: operational for psd, clay mineral, thin section studies (xii) Old geological museum of the Department has been relocated and refurbished with the acquisition of new fossils, rock samples and life size models. (xiii) A new auditorium/seminar hall has been built with all modern facilities (xiv) New geological museum was built in 2015.
