The Institute has organised a small museum which is very popular with the visitors and especially the school children.

The basic objective in organising the museum is to educate students and general public as well as to highlight the Institute activities.

The museum displays geological maps, charts, samples, models as well as various educational awareness exhibits including video films on Himalayan and general geology.

Museum, the educative wing of the Institute had a large number of student visitors from different universities, local schools and general public and as usual remained the main centre of attraction for the national and international visitors. Students in large groups from different schools, universities, colleges and from other institutions visited the Museum and guided tours were provided to them. A relief model of the Himalaya and paintings depicting the impact of human activities on the environment displayed in the Museum remained a point of attraction for the visitors. Also, over the years visitors from USA, Austria, U.K, Ukraine, Thailand, Australia, England, Japan, Nepal, France, Russia, Moscow, Israel and Canada visited the Museum.

Museum observes Open days on National Science Day (28 February 2007), National Technology Day (11 May 2006), Foundation Day (29 June 2006) and Founders Day (23 October 2006). Over the years enormous number of students and general public visited the Museum on these occasions. On the eve of Science Day Week, science quiz and essay competitions were organized for students of the Doon valley.
