Overview

A fieldwork program in Physical Geography was organised to Surajpur Wetland with the objective of providing students practical exposure to natural environmental systems. The wetland, known for its rich biodiversity and ecological significance, served as an ideal site for experiential learning. During the visit, students observed key physical features such as wetland geomorphology, soil characteristics, water bodies, and vegetation patterns. They carried out activities including field observation, note-taking, basic surveying, and environmental assessment. The presence of diverse flora and fauna, especially migratory birds, helped students understand ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity conservation. The fieldwork also focused on identifying environmental issues such as water pollution, human encroachment, and habitat degradation. Students interacted with the local environment and developed insights into sustainable management practices.
