Knowledge about different types of rocks, minerals, their characteristics, utilities and their role in nature would definitely have a good impact on students, scholars, foreigners and natural tourists. The geo-botanical significance and based on that geo-eco-tourism will not only help in the further exploration of the study area but also it will create awareness towards preservation of the natural resources. This will improve the livelihood of the local residents, enhance employment and income sources, increase infrastructure of Kurseong hill area and protect the natural resources of the area. Knowledge of climate, rock and rainfall will also help in conducting experiments in regard to quality and quantity of tea production.
