Institute of Mining, Mineralogy and Metallurgy (IMMM), Joypurhat is one of the unique extensions of the Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR). Earlier, in 2001 an Annual Development Project (ADP) was undertaken to establish the institute. The implementing agency was the BCSIR under the Ministry of Science and Technology. After completion of the ADP project in March 2009, IMMM was turned to the revenue budget of BCSIR along with newly appointed employees in June 2010. The Honorable Prime Minister of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh inaugurated the “Institute of Mining, Mineralogy and Metallurgy (IMMM)” on 22nd January 2012. IMMM is the only research organization in Bangladesh engaged with research on Mining, Mineralogy and Metallurgy in single premises.
