Government General Degree College, Pedong, established in 2015, is a government degree college in Pedong, Kalimpong district. Pedong is 22.3 km from Kalimpong town. It offers undergraduate courses in science and arts. It is affiliated to the University of North Bengal.[1]
It has its future prospects as the college is well within the reach of Main Central Thrust zone of the Himalaya. Itself the college is situated on the bedrocks of lesser Himalayan sequence. They are principally schistose rocks. The schistose rocks are composed of biotite, chlorite, feldspar, quartz, rare garnet. Main central thrust region had been of issue since the last 40 years in the field of geology. Latest data, paper and scientific researchers had taken the process of channel flow of higher Himalayan rocks upon these rocks and Lingtse gneiss in the study area. However, role of fault bound tectonics had also been envisaged. The department is still being equipped with laboratory facilities and equipment. Basic equipment like universal stage (microscope) and computer are available.
