In India, 15th September is celebrated as Engineer’s Day as a tribute to the greatest Indian engineer and Bharat Ratna Sir Mokshagund Vishweshvaraya, popularly known as Sir MV. Visvesvaraya. He was born on September 15, 1861 in Karnataka to very well-known Sanskrit scholar parents. He studied civil engineering and was the Chief Engineer of Krishna Raja Sagara dam in the north-west suburb of Mysuru city, and also served as one of Chief Engineers of the flood protection system for the city Hyderabad. He was instrumental in the founding of Government Engineering College at Bangalore in 1917, one of the first engineering institutes in India. The institution was later named University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering.
