The Professor Hari Prasanna Das Memorial Lecture has been instituted in the Department in 2004 by NEIGS for holding of an annual lecture on every 4th June.
Clubs and Societies
The North East India Geographical Society (NEIGS) is housed at Department of Geography, Gauhati University. The main objective of the Society is to popularize geography education and research in NE India. It regularly brings out one Research Journal NORTH EASTERN GEOGRAPHER and Assamese magazine BHOUGOLIKA. The students of the Department also have a Post Graduate Students- Geographical Forum and publish the Geographical Horizon.
The Department regularly publishes one Newsletter (annually)and one Research Journal JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY on specific themes.
There was a time when geographers' placement opportunities were basically confined to the arena of teaching. But the changing job market has provided opportunities for many to switchover to new areas in the service sector. These include sectors like banks, Telecommunication, Census, Department of Environment and Forest, Departments dealing with GIS and Remote Sensing Technology, Rural Development and Planning, and NGOs.

Established in 1948, the Department of Geography, Gauhati University is one of the oldest geography departments of the country. From a modest beginning the department has flourished to reach its present status because of the untiring efforts of the faculty members and the great potentiality possessed by this part of the country for geography education and research. India’s north east, the initial hinterland of the department, continued to be a terra incognita even after the country’s independence. This naturally posed before the department an intellectual challenge to unravel the marvels of the region’s nature and culture. Directed thus by the prevalent situation, curiosity and compulsion, the then faculties of the department decided to set a goal, rather a mission, towards understanding the geographical fabric of the region. Today, as we live in an increasingly interdependent world caught up in a global chain of events, the department redefines its mission to put it under the umbrella phrase- -Understanding Geography of the North-East in a New Global Order-- besides upholding the general academic standard of the discipline.
