"

The second International Seminar organized by the Department of Geography at Rampurhat College explored innovative approaches in geographical research. This seminar series aims to serve as a dynamic platform for scholars, researchers, and practitioners to engage with cutting-edge methodologies and interdisciplinary perspectives that address the complex contemporary challenges. By promoting collaboration across various disciplines, the seminar seeks to contribute meaningfully to the global and national discourse on geographical research and its applications.

This year's seminar, focusing on ""Exploring New Dimensions for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)"", highlights the critical role geography plays in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. With a special emphasis on India's vision for Viksit Bharat@2047, this seminar showcases research that addresses pressing issues such as climate change, urbanization, biodiversity conservation, and social inequality.
