New Delhi, Sept 15 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday greeted the engineers on Engineer's Day.

"Engineers are synonymous with diligence and determination. Human progress would be incomplete without their innovative zeal. Greetings on #EngineersDay and best wishes to all hardworking engineers. Tributes to the exemplary engineer Sir M. Visvesvaraya on his birth anniversary," he wrote in a tweet.

In India, the Engineer's Day is celebrated as a tribute to the greatest Indian engineer and Bharat Ratna Sir Mokshagundam Vishweshvaraya (popularly known as Sir MV).

Visvesvaraya was awarded the highest Indian civilian honour ‘Bharat Ratna’ for his exceptional contribution to the building of India in 1955.

Besides, he was also awarded the British knighthood by King George V, which prefixed 'sir' to his name.
