Geography

is the study of places, landscapes, environments, and people, and how they have affected each other over time to become what it is today. It combines natural sciences (physical

I’m

a firm believer in the fact that extracurricular activities can empower learners to gain vital experience and skills to lead them on the path to a bright future. Right from my childhood, I was very active in

this

domain. I took keen interest in painting and sculpturing and continued till now;

however

Linking Words

, I do not have any formal

education

Use synonyms

in these fields.

I’ve

Use synonyms

learned two Indian classical dance forms namely, Katthak and Rabindranrittya.

I’ve

Use synonyms

performed in numerous programs, my

last

performance was in an international seminar (31st IGI). I used to lead the ‘cultural committee’ of the

Department

Use synonyms

of

Geography

Use synonyms

in the

Use synonyms

and successfully ran the reunion ceremony in our

department

Use synonyms

. Along with that

I’m

Use synonyms

also

Linking Words

inclined towards recitation. Currently,

I’m

Use synonyms

learning French from IILS and playing a guitar.

I’ve

Use synonyms

participated in various competitions and won trophies as well, like in debate competition, extemporary speech and story-telling. To illustrate, in the

Linking Words

second

Use synonyms

year

Use synonyms

of my

college

Use synonyms

, I got

Linking Words

second

Use synonyms

position in a debate competition. I wrote poems and informative essays in school and

University

Use synonyms

magazines. Since 2017,

I’ve

Use synonyms

developed my interest in

wildlife

Use synonyms

photography and hiking. As a consequence,

I’ve

Use synonyms

some trekking experiences.

For instance

Linking Words

,

I’ve

Use synonyms

trekked to the highest point of

West

Use synonyms

Bengal: Sandakphu (11,930 ft). I believe all of these co-curricular activities instilled immense confidence in me and had a chance of improving my creativity, critical thinking, leadership capabilities and communication skills to a great extent. COMMUNITY SERVICE: Personally, I reckon, helping others is the best way to help myself.

Consequently

Linking Words

,

I’ve

Use synonyms

joined one NJO called SNAP in the

year

Use synonyms

2017. There, I had organised and participated in number of seminars to educate local residents about the importance of preserving ecosystem and

wildlife

Use synonyms

,

such

Linking Words

as ‘Vulture conservation Program’, ‘Human-Animal Conflict’ and so on. I

also

Linking Words

did some

field

Use synonyms

work to reduce human-animal conflict in forest villages of North Bengal with the help of SNAP members. Even during

this

pandemic situation we’ve assisted some forest villagers by supplying daily commodities, in the outskirts of

Siliguri

Use synonyms

. Individually

I’ve

Use synonyms

designed a magazine (

second

this

group. During

university

Use synonyms

days, with the help of my four other friends, we raised a fund by selling dumplings to help the leprosy ward at

Siliguri

.

I’m

Use synonyms

also

an active member of ‘River Rejuvenation

although

I’ve

Use synonyms

already mentioned about ASER

Use synonyms

survey, where I participated during my graduation. In the

first

Linking Words

year

Use synonyms

of my

Use synonyms

, I was selected from my

department

Use synonyms

for a voluntary participation in the ‘Tea Smile Project’, in collaboration with the students of

University

Use synonyms

of Hiroshima, where I represented my state, especially Darjiling, as it is known as the leading tea producer. Volunteering my time boosts my energy, happiness, health and sense of well-being. WHAT INTEREST ME I was inspired to commit to a future in

geography

Use synonyms

. The true breakthrough for me took place in my sophomore

year

Use synonyms

of

college

Use synonyms

, when I was volunteering at ASER National

Education

Use synonyms

,

West

Bengal, which was based on quality of

education

Use synonyms

and literacy ratio associated with the socio-economic status of the people residing in different states of India. After publishing their report when I was going through that, it ignited a passion inside me to resolve the issues in a sustainable manner.

Nonetheless

Linking Words

, I became more inclined towards physical

geography

Use synonyms

. In my point of view, without incorporating natural phenomenon it is quite impossible to come to a solution.

Consequently

Linking Words

,

I’ve

Use synonyms

decided to acquire profound

knowledge

Use synonyms

in

this

particular

field

Use synonyms

in order to serve the community, before pursuing my

research

Use synonyms

, which I lacked here. WHY YOUR UNIVERSTY? “
