Sir M Visvesvaraya’s birthday as Engineer’s day !!
If one has to list some of the most influential engineers from the history of contemporary India, Sir M Visvesvaraya would undoubtedly be on the top of the list. It is a popular misconception that Sir M Vishweshwaraiah was instrumental in developing only Karnataka (erstwhile Mysore State). His engineering works & contribution towards nation-building was spread across the nation throughout his career spanning over 30 years as engineer, 20 years as administrator & 20 years as adviser & statesman.
His achievements can run into hundreds of pages but I would like to limit this inspirational article to a few of his personal qualities & habits which we can try to imbibe into our own lives and inspire future generations.
- Honesty & Work Ethics.
- Discipline.
- Free from ego.
- Dedication & excellence.
“Remember, your work may be only to sweep a railway crossing, but it is your duty to keep it so clean that no other crossing in the world is as clean as yours”
