Prosperity and success of a nation is always related to human
resource development and the most important aspect of human
resource development is education. Bahauddin Zakariya University,
Multan has always taken this aspect very seriously. As many
disciplines have been established at university campus, the university
has decided to take further step by establishing Geography
department and offering M.Sc. Geography degree program.
Geography is a science, that deals with the distributive phenomena on
the face of earth which effect the knowledge of our environment and
nature around us that is certainly essential for our development, better
life conditions and progress. Geography provides such knowledge
and skills that contribute in the process of making an abler and highly
developed human society. It is an enquiry, a study of the causes and
an attempt to find out why and how natural surroundings and
geographical features influence the life of man on this planet.
Diversity and richness in landforms, climate vegetation, animals,
deserts and other natural features of South Punjab indicate the fact
that a science like Geography must have its roots in this region that
will certainly help the people of this region to develop their skills in
Geography and contribute in the development of whole nation.
