Engineers' Day is celebrated on September 15 every year in India and some other countries. In 2025, it falls on Monday, September 15. This day honors the birth anniversary of Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, one of India's greatest engineers and a Bharat Ratna awardee, born on September 15, 1861. The day celebrates the contributions of engineers to society, innovation, and nation-building. It is marked by events in schools, colleges, and engineering institutions, often themed around current technological advancements—such as the 2025 theme, "Deep Tech & Engineering Excellence: Driving India’s Techade".
Additionally, it's worth noting that internationally, there is a UNESCO- designated World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development celebrated on March 4 each year, which is separate from national observances like India's Engineers' Day.
