If our education system has one powerful and multi–specialized course, then it’s undoubtedly engineering course only. Because engineering means not only about engineering, it relates to many other subjects like Physics, Chemistry, problem solving, English and even Regional languages. To make world healthy we need doctors, to make country economically stable we need economist. But to develop country in all the ways we need engineers.

Many great personalities who are making big buzz in nowadays were come from engineering background. For example, the great comedian of all time Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), who made whole world laugh without even talking single word was Electrical engineer. Anil Kumble, Harsha Bhogle, Chetan Bhagat, Sonu Sood, Sushant Singh Rajput and many more engineers adds to this list.

To show gratitude for all the engineers across the country,Engineer’s day is celebrated in India on 15th September, in memory of Sir Mokshgundam Visweswarayya.
