Engineers Day: Remembering one of the most popular Indian civil engineers for his major contributions in the field, Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, the country is celebrating Engineers’ Day today, September 15, on his birth anniversary. Also known as M Visvesvaraya, the engineer was an administrator and a statesman. Netizens, including prominent personalities like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and more, took to their social media handles to wish the engineers all around the world. Amid all the wishers, a section of the internet also grabbed the opportunity to share memes and jokes on the profession and its struggles.
M Visvesvaraya was born today in 1861. The statesman hailed from Karnataka’s Chikkaballapur and belonged to a Telugu family. He completed his schooling in his hometown and went to the University of Madras for his BA. The popular engineer then earned his diploma in civil engineering from Pune’s College of Science.
Taking to social media, people shared hilarious memes on the occasion. Many cracked jokes about the common belief of engineers not pursuing a career in the same field after a degree.
“Happy Engineer's Day,” a user said.
