The Department of Geography at Lamka College was established in 2018, marking a significant milestone in the institution’s academic journey. It began as a one-person department under the leadership of Mr. K. Vungzamawi, whose dedication and vision laid the foundation for its growth. The three-year degree course commenced with fewer than ten students—a modest beginning that reflected both the challenges and the enthusiasm of those formative years. In 2020, the department proudly introduced the Honours course in Geography, opening new avenues for students to pursue advanced studies in the field.

As the department expanded, Mrs. Vungngaihlun joined in 2023, followed by Mr. Langsuanpao Seldou in 2024. Their arrival brought fresh perspectives, diverse expertise, and renewed energy, strengthening the department’s academic and research endeavours.

Since its inception, the Department of Geography has been dedicated to providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the subject—combining theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on learning. Geography, being an applied and multidisciplinary field, focuses on the intricate relationships between people and their environment. The department strives to nurture this understanding by encouraging students to think critically about spatial patterns, environmental challenges, and the sustainable management of natural resources.

Beyond classroom teaching, the department is equipped with a Cartographic and GIS Laboratory and an LCD projector, enhancing both visualization and practical learning. Fieldwork, surveys, and laboratory exercises are integral components of the curriculum, designed to connect academic concepts with real-world applications.

Today, the Department of Geography continues to grow with the same pioneering spirit it began with—committed to inspiring curiosity, cultivating analytical and responsible thinkers, and preparing students to meet the geographical and environmental challenges of our rapidly changing world.
