Choose my quiz ↓Every year on 15 September, India celebrates Engineers' Day in honour of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, one of the country's greatest engineers. To mark the day in 2026, AIMS Olympiad Academy has created four special quizzes that help students discover the engineering all around them, from the bridges they cross to the bulbs that light their homes.
Who was Sir M. Visvesvaraya?
Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya (1861–1962) was born in Muddenahalli, Karnataka. He is remembered for building dams, improving irrigation and making cities safer from floods. He was the chief engineer for the Krishna Raja Sagara (KRS) dam near Mysuru, served as the Diwan of Mysore, and received the Bharat Ratna in 1955.
2026 marks his 165th birth anniversary, a perfect time for students to learn how engineers think, plan and solve problems.
