  I am surprised that Teacher's day is on 15th september. But yest the initiative is really good and we should support it 😀
  
  1. As Sir Mokshagundam Vishweshwaraiah was a great person who was involved in Nation building, let us post the information of various projects undertaken for society (they should be related to engineering)
  
  2. Starting threads and interviewing people who have initiated these projects and are working for them 😀

  Teacher's day is celebrated 'today', that is 5th September in India. 15 September is 'Engineers Day' in India.

  Another idea:
  
  How about starting some sort of activity here on CE with a team of regular and members?
  
  It can be a short term technical project which we can show people that we have done for Engineers day?

  Yes. We need 'exact' ideas. Technical projects should be such that they encompass all branches of engineering.
  I was wondering if we could plan some sort of tribute to 'Bharat Ratna Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya' on 15th september. His work & life is great.

  My idea revolves around Create the future contest.
  
  
  

  • 2-3 teams of CEans will discuss a topic and create a project.
  • They will discuss how to make project in threads.
  • The discussion would mean posting circuit diagrams, diagrams of accurate working models etc.
  • They will fabricate the model if possible (Cost considerations).
  • Even if they cannot fabricate the model, anyone should be able to make the project by looking at that idea.

  More ideas are welcome.

  In these days of rank corruption it is worth remembering upright persons like MV.
  I am sure most people will recallthis:
  MV used to work beyond sunset, many times in places without electric power. He had two candles , one that he bought and the other government supply. He would use the office candle for office work and his own for his personal work.
  
  He and Sir C.P.Ramaswamy Iyer first conceived of linking the rivers of India while the Mettur Danm was being built.

  @bioramani: Yeah I have read about him.
  His other notable achievements were:
  1. Implementing an extremely intricate system of irrigation
  2. Designing a system of automatic weir water floodgate.
  
  These gates were employed to raise the flood supply level of storage in the reservoir to the highest level likely to be attained by a flood without causing any damage to the dam. Based on the success of these gates, the same system was installed at the Tigra Dam in Gwalior and the Krishnaraja Sagara (KRS) Dam in Mandya/ Mysore,Karnataka.
  
  Here's a good video about him, speaks a lot about his life:

  I wonder if anyone has read the above post.
  
  I think we will launch some competition on 15th september. It will need some preparation, but I will figure something out.

  Here's one of his quotes:
  
  "Remember, your work may be only to sweep a railway crossing, but it is your duty to keep it so clean that no other crossing in the world is as clean as yours."

  Ideas are still welcome here. Any small one-day activity is welcomed for today.

  We can internalize this. All of us have problems that have been put on the back burner because we want to avoid some inconvenient technical issue. Let us each choose to spend an hour of concentrated effort on one such.
  
  I have already started on one such.
