Union Home Minister Amit Shah greeted technocrats on Engineer’s Day on September 15, 2023, for their contribution “to every sector of the economy” and nation-building.
In a tweet, Shah said, “Greetings to all the engineers on Engineer’s Day. Your contribution to every sector of the economy and nation-building is immense. I express my sincere gratitude to the entire engineering fraternity for their hard work and dedication.”
Engineer’s Day is celebrated in India on September 15 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, an outstanding Indian engineer and statesman. Visvesvaraya is known as the “Father of Modern Karnataka” for his contributions to the development of the state.
Engineers play a vital role in society, and their contributions are essential for economic growth and development. They design, build, and maintain the infrastructure that we rely on every day, from roads and bridges to power grids and communication networks. Engineers also play a key role in developing new technologies and innovations that improve our lives.
On Engineer’s Day, it is important to recognize the valuable contributions that engineers make to society. We should also encourage young people to pursue careers in engineering so that we can continue to build a better future for everyone.
