Abstract
Geology is not a subject to be taught within the four walls of a classroom. In fact, it is a field science; without the field knowledge, the study is incomplete. A proper field training program is very essential as it will enable the student to have a better understanding as to how the different land form, how formed by different geological agents, how minerals, rocks etc occur in the nature. Topo sheet No. 74 A/3 and 74 A/7 of 1: 50, 000 scale was used for geological mapping. Field work has been carried out by taking traverse across the general strike to get acquainted with the rock types. General procedure of back bearing method has been adopted to locate the different rock types on the topo sheet. GPS is used to locate the exact position of the outcrop in the topographic maps. Major portion of the study area is covered by granite-gneiss. Spheroidal weathering is a common phenomenon in the granitic gneissic rocks. different structural features are Joints, Faulting/shearing, Foliation and Lineation. The study area has potentiality of producing building material. Since joint sets have affect the granite gneiss. This cannot be used for dimension stones.
