Geologists' Day in Kazakhstan is traditionally celebrated on the first Sunday of April in accordance with Decree No. 164 of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated October 20, 2011. It traces its history from the time of the USSR, as in a number of other countries of the post-Soviet era.

At the beginning of April, the experts of the field start preparing for summer field work and expeditions, and because of the cold winter weather and the melting of snow, this time was chosen as the time for the holiday. Certificates of honor and letters of thanks were presented to subsoil users and department employees for faithfully fulfilling their duties.
