On September 15, 2025 India celebrates Engineers’ Day to commemorate the birth anniversary of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, a civil engineer whose contributions transformed modern India. This day serves as a tribute to engineering excellence and honors the impact of engineers in nation-building.
Engineers’ Day was celebrated in 1968 to honour Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya’s contributions to Indian engineering. Born on September 15, 1861, in Muddenahalli village, Karnataka, Visvesvaraya emerged from beginnings to become one of the most respected engineers of India.
The observance of Engineers’ Day extends beyond India’s borders. Sri Lanka and Tanzania also commemorate September 15 as Engineers’ Day, recognizing Visvesvaraya’s impact on engineering practices and infrastructure development.
