Engineering Community in India is celebrating Engineers Day on every 15 September. Even though the number of Engineers 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 the 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 for bringing to the knowledge of many (like me) regarding the celebration of Engineers' Day. Yes, Mr. Visvesvarayya made immense contributions during his long and distinguished career. Like his dams, he too lived a long life - 102 years, if I remember correctly.
Greetings to all fellow engineers on this glorious occasion.
