Engineers Day 2025 is celebrated on September 15 across India to commemorate the birth anniversary of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, born in 1861 at Muddenahalli, Karnataka. Widely regarded as one of India’s greatest engineers, he made pioneering contributions in civil engineering, dam construction, flood management, and urban planning. His leadership as the Diwan of Mysore from 1912–1918 modernised the state through industries, schools, and railways. Awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1955, he remains a symbol of engineering brilliance. Since its first observance in 1967, Engineers Day has inspired innovation and celebrated the role of engineers in shaping India’s future.
