Happy Engineer’s Day: How our learners are engineering their way to professional success!

From the magnificent KRS Dam engineered by Sir M Visveswaraya to the Chandrayaan-3 mission, which made India the first country to land on the South Pole of the Moon, engineers have made significant contributions to the infrastructural development of India. Without a doubt, engineers have been the backbone of urbanization, and they continue to prove their worth through innovation.  

Engineering Innovation for a more resilient world 

India celebrates Engineer’s Day on September 15 every year. It marks the birth anniversary of Dr Mokshagundam Visveswaraya, who is popularly known as the “Civil Engineer of India” and the “Father of Modern India”. The theme for this year’s Engineers’ Day is “Engineering Innovation for a more resilient world.” Engineer’s Day is observed to encourage and recognize the contribution of engineers in nation building. It is a day to celebrate the “ingenuity and innovation” of engineers.  

Engineers are the architects of innovation and the backbone of technological progress. It’s a day to honor their contributions and aspirations. Their knowledge is not only restricted to infrastructural development, but innovation in numerous facets of society. Engineers play pivotal roles in healthcare, environmental sustainability, technology, and even artistic endeavors.
