Significance of Engineer’s Day

While engineering in India is seen more as a forced career than a passionate stream of work, the handwork of an engineer is a crucial driver in the smooth running of the country. From the roads we use and the internet we so heavily rely on to the smartphones that have become our single source of information, entertainment and work, everything needs capable and good engineers. And Engineer’s Day aims to highlight this inner drive that good engineers have, which has been crucial for the growth and development of not just our country, but also the world.
