Engineers Day 2025 Celebrating Innovation & Sir M. Visvesvaraya
Engineers Day 2025 will be observed across India on 15 September, paying tribute to the unparalleled contributions of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, one of the nation’s most respected engineers. Marking his 164th birth anniversary, the day honours the engineering community’s vital role in shaping the nation’s infrastructure, technology, and future. The 2025 celebrations are anchored in the theme “Deep Tech & Engineering Excellence: Driving India’s Techade,” reflecting the country’s ambition to lead the next decade of global tech innovation.
The date marks the birth anniversary of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, born in Muddenahalli, Karnataka, on 15 September 1861. A pioneer in civil engineering, Visvesvaraya’s contributions to dam construction, flood management, and industrial development have had lasting national impact. He was awarded Bharat Ratna in 1955, India’s highest civilian honour, for his work in engineering and public service.
India first observed Engineers Day in 1967, and it has since become a day to recognize engineering innovation and inspire future generations.
Sir Visvesvaraya remains a symbol of disciplined planning and visionary engineering. His efforts led to significant advances in public works, water resource management, and economic planning. Here are key highlights of his life,
