1) The document discusses Ms. Jagmohini's training program from August 12 to September 7, 2002. The training covered defining mountains and lakes, the five highest mountains by region, and the five largest fresh water lakes. It also covered trigonometry.
2) The document then provides information on mountains, including their definition and how elevation is measured. It also discusses the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India.
3) Further information is given on some specific mountains - Mount Everest, K2, and Annapurna. Details on the Himalayan Range and Karakorum Range are also included.

4. Mountains, name usually applied to
any region of land that is raised rather steeply
above the surrounding terrain. The elevation, or
altitude, of a mountain is given as the height of
the summit above sea level. Therefore, a
mountain with an elevation of, say, 4,000 m
(13,100 ft) may rise to only 3,000 m
(9,840 ft) above the surrounding land.
6. The Himalaya Range, which comprise
the highest mountain system in the world,
extend through most of Nepal and help
shape its northern border. Nine of the 14
highest mountains in the world, including
Mount Everest (8,850m /29,028 ft), are
located either wholly or partially in the
country.
7. Everest, Mount (Tibetan, Chomo Lungma,
“goddess-mother”; Nepali, Sagarmatha, “forehead
in the sky”), mountain peak, south central Asia, in
the Himalaya range, on the frontier of Nepal and
Tibet. Mount Everest is the highest peak in the
world. The summit was previously believed to be
8,886 m (29,028 ft) above sea level, according to a
1954 Indian government survey. In November
1999, using the latest global positioning system
satellite equipment, the mountain's elevation was
revised to 8,850 m (29,035 ft).
13. Lake, large, inland body of fresh
or salty standing water.
The source of lake water is
atmospheric precipitation that
reaches the lake directly and by
means of springs, brooks, and
rivers.
14. The largest lakes in the world are the Caspian
Sea and Lakes Superior and Victoria. The Dead
Sea is the world's lowest lake, 400 m (1,312 ft)
below sea level. The Caspian, the world's
largest lake, covers an area of 370,998 sq km
(143,243 sq mi). Lake Baikal is the deepest
freshwater lake in the world, with a maximum
depth of 1,637 m (5,371 ft).
