Happy Engineer's Day !!!

" The Engineer's First problem in any design situation is to discover what the problem really is " – Sir M Visvesvaraya

Bharat Ratna Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya (September 15, 1860 – April 12, 1962) was called a wizard in engineering. He was also called the precursor of economic planning in India. He took an interest not in engineering alone, but was capable of applying his talent to many allied matters connected with the development of the nation.

He was an eminent Indian engineer and statesman. His learned discourse on economic planning in India entitled 'Planned Economy for India and Reconstructing India' was the first available document on the planning effort of the country and it is still held as the parent source matter for economic planners. He was also knighted by the British for his myriad contributions to the public good.

To commemorate the birthday of Bharat Ratna Sir M Visvesvaraya, the Council of the Institution decided to observe September 15 as the Engineers' Day every year.

Hats off to the Genius...

Happy Engineer's Day !!!
