School of Studies in Geology & Water Resource Management
This School
of Studies in Geology and Water Resource Management aims at imparting
to students basic insight into the subject with extensive field training.
Besides regular degree courses, it also aims at pursuing researches leading
to an understanding of the geology of the central Indian craton. The thrust
areas of research are mainly: Mineral and Groundwater resource evaluation
studies; and Precambrian Tectonosedimentary Environment elucidation.

Infrastructure facilities:
The School
is housed in its own building. It is equipped with the laboratories sufficient
to cater researches in Petrology, Geochemistry, Mineral Deposits, Sedimentology,
Remote Sensing, Hydrogeology and Water Resource Management. Atomic Absorption
Spectrometer, Carl Zeiss Jenapol-U Research Microscope and Procom-2 are
the major equipments besides several other important and basic facilities.
The GIS lab is equipped with P-IV Computers, scanner, Printers
and MapInfo 7.8 . IDRISI KILIMANJARO Software for training the
students in remote sensing and GIS. The School is having a well equipped workshop to process the minerals
and rocks for various investigations. One vehicle (Mobile Van) of the
School are a major asset for Geological and Hydro geological investigations
in the field. Audiovisual equipments and Computers add to the proficiency
in research and teaching. This School is having a good collection of Rocks
and Minerals of the Region for the students and visitors.
