Engineers build nations. To recognize and appreciate the role of engineers, Engineer’s Day is celebrated across the world. In India we celebrate it on 15th of September — the birthday of the greatest Indian Engineer, Bharat Ratna Sir M Visvesvaraya as a tribute to his contributions.
It’s a matter of special pride to us Mysoreans that Sir MV is from Karnataka and served as the Dewan of Mysore State from 1912 – 1918 and was the chief engineer responsible for the construction of Krishnaraja Sagar Dam, the biggest reservoir in Asia when it was built. His contributions are legion.
A Special Lecture on "Sir MV: Determined Moderniser or Development Visionary?" by Prof. V K Natraj, Former Director, Madras Institute of Development Studies & Former Director, Institute of Development Studies, is organized as part of the Engineer’s Day celebrations.
