DCB Girls' College, Jorhat

A fieldwork programme was conducted at Dibru–Saikhowa National Park and the Maguri–Motapung Wetland on 19th and 20th December 2025. The programme was organised by the Department of Geography in collaboration with Wave Eco Tourism and the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), DCB Girls’ College, Jorhat.

The fieldwork was primarily organised for the 6th Semester students as part of their academic requirement under the paper Geography of India (GGRC14). The fieldwork aimed to provide experiential learning on forest conservation practices, wetland ecosystem dynamics, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable livelihood practices in protected areas.

Special emphasis was given to understanding the ecological significance of the Dibru–Saikhowa National Park as a biodiversity hotspot, with particular reference to habitat conservation and the conservation status of the Hoolock gibbon, the only ape species found in India. The visit to the Maguri–Motapung Wetland enabled students to study wetland ecology, avifaunal diversity, hydrological characteristics, and the role of wetlands in supporting local livelihoods and eco-tourism initiatives. At the conclusion of the programme, certificates were awarded to the participating students in recognition of their successful completion of the fieldwork.

All are cordially invited.

Chandreyee Goswami from the University of Edinburgh delivered a talk on 17 December 2025 on university friendships among women students in Northeast India. In her lecture, she explored how friendships are understood and formed within the local context and examined the role these relationships play in a politically volatile and economically rapidly changing region. She also explained the process of applying to various programs at foreign universities and encouraged our students to aspire, prepare, and pursue opportunities for higher education abroad. The program was organised by the Department of Geography and English, in collaboration with Career Counselling Cell and IQAC, DCB Girls’ College, Jorhat.

Pankaj Pratim Bordoloi, Deputy Director of the President’s House Art Collection and Museum, India, delivered a talk at our event titled “Land, Memory, and Identity: Reading Geography and History as a Museum.” His presentation explored how geography, history, heritage, and collective memory shape the identity of a region. He emphasized the idea of land as a living archive, highlighting the dynamic relationship between memory and power. Bordoloi concluded by stating that every place is, in itself, a museum, carrying within it layers of history and meaning.

The program was organised by the Department of Geography and the Department of History in collaboration with IQAC. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Dhiren Tamuli, Principal of the College, remarked that such valuable knowledge about archives and memory will greatly enrich students, broadening their academic understanding and critical thinking.
