The Department of Mines and Geology (DMG) is the main government institution of Nepal for advancing engineering geological sciences. Through systematic landslide hazard assessments, detailed mineral exploration, and regional geological mapping, DMG underpins sustainable infrastructure development and disaster risk reduction. By integrating modern technologies like GIS and Remote Sensing, LiDAR Survey, drone surveys and geophysical imaging, it enhances resource management and slope stability analysis, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe construction and environmental resilience across dynamic landscapes of the country.
