Geography is a scientific field that studies the earth’s landforms, ocean, environment, ecosystem, etc. It also studies the relationship between men and their environments. The Word ‘Geography’ was coined by an Ancient Greek scholar Eratosthenes in 234 B.C. It originates from two Greek words; one is Geo and another is Graphe. Geography is the science of all sciences. It involves the study of physical as well as social sciences. Its scope ranges from the physical sciences of Astronomy, climatology, Geology through natural histories of Botany and Zoology to the human studies of Anthropology, Ethnology, Sociology, and History. Thus, the scope is in various disciplines, like armed services, environmental management, water resources, disaster management, meteorology and planning, and various social sciences. Apart from that, a geographer can help in day-to-day life like tourism, commuting, housing, and health-related activities.

          Technology, use of computers and software, has offered better opportunities in data collection, interpretation, analysis and presentation. Every time uses GPS and GIS: Use of GPS and GIS has become a mandatory aspect of geographical studies.

          The value of geography or its importance includes the following:

·         It enables man to have a better understanding of his environment.

·         Geography raises issues, problems, and solutions vital to modern society.

·         It consists of knowledge of the world around us i.e. it enables us to study the ways of lives of other people in other parts of the world.

·         A well-trained geographer can perform many vital roles in the politics and socio-economic sector of society. He can use his geographical knowledge in such areas as urban, economic, rural, or regional planning.

·         Geography helps us to understand some other related topics in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, history, mathematics, etc.

·         It enables us to have a better understanding of physical things around us such as vegetation, climate, rivers, soil, oceans, mountains, etc.

·         It enables us to choose a career from which we can earn a living.
