భారతీయుడి సత్తాకు సాహో | Why Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya's Birthday is Celebrated as Engineer's Day

#MokshagundamVisvesvaraya Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya or simply Sir MV was born in 1860. His birthday on 15 September is celebrated as Engineer's Day because it was this genius who created many engineering marvels across India. 15 September 2020 is celebrated in India as Engineer's Day to commemorate the birth anniversary of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, more commonly known as Sir MV who was born on 15 September 1860. Now, why should the birth anniversary of Sir MV who died on – 14 April 1962 hold so much significance? That is a beautiful story that needs to be told. Sir M Visvesvaraya was an Indian civil engineer and statesman and the 19th Diwan of Mysore, serving from 1912 to 1919. The Indian government honoured him with the country's highest civilian award - the Bharat Ratna, in 1955. That was of course, in Independent India. But in pre-Independence India when the British Raj was on, Sir MV was knighted as a Knight Commander of the British Indian Empire (KCIE) by King George V for his contributions to the public good. Therefore, for the huge contribution he made to the respective nations' assets and growth, three countries - India, Sri Lanka and Tanzania - celebrate his birthday as Engineers' Day. Sir MV dammed the Cauvery: He was the Chief Engineer of Krishna Raja Sagara dam in the north-west suburb of Mysuru city, and also served as one of the Chief Engineers of the flood protection system for the city of Hyderabad. He first took a job as an assistant engineer with the Public Works Department of Bombay (now Mumbai), and later was invited to join the Indian Irrigation Commission. He implemented an intricate system of irrigation in the Deccan Plateau and designed and patented a system of automatic weir water floodgates that were first installed in 1903 at Khadakvasla Reservoir near Pune. These gates raised the storage level in the reservoir to the highest level likely to be attained without causing damage to the dam. He encouraged private investment in the industry sector during his tenure as Diwan of Mysore. He was instrumental in charting out a plan for road construction between Tirumala and Tirupati. The Bangalore Press and the Bank of Mysore were established during his tenure. A very important part of his nature was his love for Kannada. Though born into a Telugu Brahmin family, Sir MV's love for Kannada saw him implement several policies that helped develop Kannad usage in government matters. Sir M Visvesvaraya is known to have designed and planned an entire area of Jayanagar in South Bangalore, believed to have one of the best-planned layouts in Asia.
