Geo-Genius Geography Olympiad

There is a great demand for Geographers in our country and abroad. Students learning this subject have an excellent career scope.

In USA, Australia and many other countries Geography Olympiad is conducted every year, but here in India we do not have such kind of exam conducted at school level to promote Geography.

Concerned about this widespread lack of Geography knowledge, GEO GENIUS organized Geography Olympiad to reintroduce this subject
