Banaras Institute of Teacher's Education (BITE), run by Purwanchal Educational Trust, has taught at Babatpur, near Varanasi airport, since 2003. Geography runs across our MGKVP-affiliated programmes: a BA subject, the 30-seat MA Geography (Ganga-basin fieldwork, GIS, NET/JRF preparation, dissertation) and the PG Diploma in Remote Sensing & GIS (60 seats; MGKVP-approved 2025), mentored by Prof. V. C. Jha — former Director, NATMO; ex-ISRO/NRSC. A 23-year-old campus of 17 programmes and 5,000+ alumni. We are appointing one Assistant Professor in Geography, the department's third faculty member.

rural Babatpur — central.
• Run structured NET/JRF preparation for MA students.

Core:
• Teach BA papers (Physical, Human and Economic Geography, Workplace and Disaster Management, and practicals) and MA papers such as Geomorphology, Climatology and Geographical Thoughts.
