Every year, 15 September is celebrated as the Engineer’s Day in India in his memory. He is held in high regard as the first and pre-eminent Engineer of India. Bharat Ratna Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya built many dams in India, most of them are still functioning very well and he was brilliant at his work.
Engineer’s Day 2010 on 15 September will mark 150th anniversary of this dedicated and brilliant engineer.
Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya was from College Of Engg., Pune(COEP). He worked as the Chief Engineer when Krishna Raja Sagara was constructed on the Kaveri River. He was known to be an engineering wizard and he was also known to be the pioneer of India’s economic planning. He developed the economic plan named ‘Planned Economy for India and Reconstructing India’ which was India’s first planning attempt.
Centuries ago people who sacrificed their sleep, food, laughter & other joys of life were called “SAINTS”
Now they are called ENGINEERS……….
