Engineering Community in India is celebrating Engineers Day on every 15 September.
Even though Engineers number in India grows, it is sad to say that Engineers do not have much knowledge about this day.
The day is the birthday of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya, an eminent Indian engineer and statesman from Karnataka.
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, is quite a remarkable tribute to the greatest Indian Engineer Bharat Ratna M. Visvesvarayya.

Dear Mr Sagar Modi
Many thanks for your post and bringing to the knowledge of many
(like me) regarding the celebration of ENGINEER'S day.
Yes Mr Visvesvarayya made immense contribution during his long distinguished career.
Like his dams he too lived long - 102 years, if I remember right.
Greetings to all fellow engineers on this glorious occasion.
