Engineers Day 2009

World's Engineers Day 2009

In India, Engineer's Day is celebrated on 15 September every year.
The day is the birthday of Sir M. Visvesvarayya , an eminent Indian engineer and statesman. He served as the chief engineer during construction of Krishna Raja Sagara on the Kaveri River near Mysore. He 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 2008, is quite a remarkable tribute to the greatest Indian Engineer Bharat Ratna M. Visvesvarayya.
Bharat Ratna Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya (1860-1965) was called a wizard in engineering.
This year's theme of Engineer's Day- 'Engineering Solutions to Combat Climate Change'.
