The Centre has been functioning in Bhopal since 1995 with the primary objective of popularization of Science & Technology, inculcation of scientific temper, and encouraging attitude of curiosity among the public in general and the students in particular.

The 5-acre RSCB campus includes a 3-acre Science Park, which contains over 60 exhibits such as pulley demonstrations, a windmill and solar-powered devices.

This bus goes to the small towns and remote villages of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh for creating scientific awareness through anti-superstition demonstrations, science-related films, sky observation and educational lectures.

Contests for students, film shows, awareness programmes, drama festivals, workshops and special exhibitions are also held to celebrate these days.

RSCB offers memberships to individuals, families, schools and other institutions: the members can participate in the various activities and programmes organized by the Centre.
