Engineers day 2010 Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya Birthday celebration. In India, Engineers’ Day is celebrated on 15 September every year.
EngineersDay is the birthday of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya, an eminent Indian engineer (from College Of Engg., Pune(COEP)) and statesman born in Muddenahalli-Kanivenarayanapura in present day Karnataka. Moksagundam Wisvesvaraya served as the chief engineer during construction of Krishna Raja Sagara on the Kaveri River near Mysore. Mokshagundam Vishvesvaraya also built many dams in the Bombay presidency (present day Maharashtra). The dams built by him are still functional even today, a testimony to his brilliance, skill, honesty and dedication. So 15 September, Engineer’s Day 2009, is quite a remarkable tribute to the greatest Indian Engineer Bharat Ratna M. Visvesvarayya.
