Department of Geography

Ask anyone in Rawalpindi which department is the heart of Asghar Mall College and you will hear one answer. Geography has been taught here since the college's first day in 1948; independent reference entries still call it the institution's most prominent department. The claim survives scrutiny. The evidence: a founder of national rank, twenty Punjab University gold medals, a faculty with doctorates in the environmental and geospatial sciences, two rooms that carry honoured names, and a field-survey tradition older than most of the students walking into it. Through the M.Sc. era this was one of only three centres of postgraduate Geography in the entire province; today it anchors the college's BS generation.
