SWOC ANALYSIS STRENGTH 1.The quality faculty 2.Two teachers
with expertise in GIS & Remote Sensing 3.The sincere, laborious
and obedient students 4.The excellent student-teacher relationship
5.The available infrastructures of the department are satisfactory.
Opportunity Jobs relating to GIS and Remote Sensing Employment
opportunities in the fields of Census Organization as cartographer
and data analyst In sectors of regional planning In Survey of India
In National Bureau of Soil Sciences In land-use mapping In
Archaeology In National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organization
Challenges 1. To improve and upgrade the academic quality of the
students coming from rural and backward hinterland. 2. To commence
post-graduate course in the department of Geography 3.To equip the
department for carrying out research projects (sponsored by UGC,
DST, ICSSR) relating to various geographical and environmental
problems. 4. To enhance the employability of the students. Weakness
1. The scarcity of class-rooms 2.Small-sized classrooms and
laboratory
Slide 31
FUTURE Plan of Action Long term plan To apply for C. U. PG
course in Geography To initiate diploma / certificate course in GIS
& Remote Sensing in collaboration with National Atlas and
Thematic Mapping Organization and CAD Centre, Jadavpur University.
This might accentuate the employment opportunities of the students
in Government and Non- Government Sectors Short term Plan To
Organize UGC sponsored seminar in the department To organize inter
college syllabus workshop To take necessary steps to increase the
reading habits of the students, like To encourage the students to
do more library work To teach with interesting videos collected
from Govt. Departments, internet etc. To encourage the students to
search study material from internet To organize frequent student
seminar, debate, quiz etc.
