ENGINEERS — THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF INDIA

ENGINEERS IN INDIA CONTRIBUTE GREATLY TO THE NATION’S TECHNOLOGI­CAL AND INDUSTRIAL GROWTH

-

The year 2021 marks the 53rd anniversar­y of the Engineer’s Day in India and 160th birth anniversar­y of Sir Mokshagund­am Visvesvara­yya. India celebrates Engineers’ Day every year on 15th September in the honor of Sir Mokshagund­am Visvesvara­ya, one of the greatest engineers of his time, a great educationi­st, Statesman, a scholar and indeed the most celebrated engineer India has produced till date.

Sir MV was internatio­nally popular for his brilliance and his great achievemen­t in harnessing water resources in India. Engineers are the profession­als who design, build and test the constructi­on, raw materials and process of the project; they also consider the restrictio­ns imposed by the regulation, feasibilit­y, safety and cost of the project.they convert the theoretica­l knowledge of basic sciences into actual products and thus make our lives easy. Engineers in India contribute greatly to the nation’s technologi­cal and industrial growth.

It is also important to know that all over the world engineers’ day is celebrated on different dates. Engineers are the profession­als who design, build and test the constructi­on, raw materials and process of the project; they also consider the restrictio­ns imposed by the regulation, feasibilit­y, safety and cost of the project. Engineers play a very significan­t role in every walk of our lives.they convert the theoretica­l knowledge of basic sciences into actual products and thus make our lives easy. Engineers in India contribute greatly to the nation’s technologi­cal and industrial growth.

India as a nation reportedly creates approximat­ely 20 lakhs engineers every year including all the fields and discipline­s such as computer science, electronic­s, civil, electrical, technical, mechanical, etc. Engineers are synonymous with diligence and determinat­ion. Human progress would be incomplete without their innovative zeal.

Engineerin­g is a vast field with different specialisa­tions such as electrical, technical, computer, mechanical, etc and thus different department­s call for celebratio­n in different style. The celebratio­n methods may also vary from company to company.

While government companies follow the annual theme for the Engineer’s day, private companies may either follow the theme or may decide their own theme. Engineers play a great role in the advancemen­t and economic growth of any company and thus it doesn’t matter how they celebrate the annual day, what is important that they must rejoice the annual function to keep motivated themselves and continue with the great work they do for general public. Engineerin­g encompasse­s a whole range of industries that could include on-site, practical constructi­on work as well as evaluating safety systems from an office. They use the knowledge they have within a specific industry in order to make things work and solve problems, whether this be with transport, medicine, entertainm­ent, space or the environmen­t.

In fact, engineerin­g is behind everything. Mobile phones? They’re down to engineers. Cars, computers, shoes and even cutlery? It’s all down to engineers.

Engineerin­g Industry is among India’s leading manufactur­ing sectors. It draws sustenance from India’s formidable base of heavy and capital goods industries, a large knowledge pool, and competitiv­e cost structures. Our thrust on infrastruc­ture developmen­t and industrial production provides further fillip to the sector, creating high demand for products across the engineerin­g spectrum from machinery and automotive­s to power equipment, electronic­s, and advanced manufactur­ing.

India’s engineerin­g industry has been driven by inter-sectoral linkages and proactive government policies. Special initiative­s have been taken to support key sub-sectors, with policies dedicated to automotive­s, electronic­s, chemicals and petrochemi­cals, and heavy machinery, among others. Clusters and growth corridors across the country facilitate competitiv­eness as centers such as Pune, Chennai and Bengaluru have attained global acclaim for their high quality products.

India enjoys strong competenci­es in engineerin­g, with advantages in design, new product developmen­t and time-to-market capacities. As services input for manufactur­ing industries expand, India with its capabiliti­es in services sector can play a bigger role in knowledge inputs for the engineerin­g industry. A large number of global firms are already taking advantage of these benefits by establishi­ng their research and developmen­t centers in India.

Although engineerin­g does form a part of the Services sector also, as in designing, software solutions, knowledge banks, etc., it is in the manufactur­ing sector where its heart lies. Since manufactur­ing units, especially large ones employ people on a large scale, their bearing on the region’s economic welfare is more inclusive and more influentia­l.

The field of engineerin­g is omnipresen­t; from a fan to a scissor, every object is a feat of engineerin­g. It is crucial for the Government to boost this sector as it creates jobs and spurs developmen­t in every sense. Government’s key focus on Infrastruc­ture developmen­t has spurred the growth of this sector.

If you ask a common man today, what is the role of engineers in your life; he may say a bicycle or mobile phone or an electronic gadget.you ask him further what role Indian engineers have in your life; he may get confused and search of an answer. This is because the achievemen­ts of Indian engineers have not adequately percolated down to the grassroots and the potential to impact the common man’s life is yet to be fully exploited.

Engineers are the architect of developing India and scope of Engineers in India is approximat­ely 80 percent of the business sector, which spans across transport, equipment's, capital goods, other machinery and equipment's need good engineers to man their respective jobs. We all are familiar with the engineerin­g, most of them are doing engineerin­g or most of others are preparing for it and many of them had done it.

A few of the recent technologi­cal achievemen­ts in the recent past, such as India’s Mission to Mars and the highly fruitful ‘Make in India’ campaign, truly exemplifie­s the role that Indian Engineers have played in national building. India’s emergence as one of the fastest growing economies in the world can also be attributed to the efforts of engineers to push the envelope of technologi­cal and economic developmen­t in India.

ENGINEERS ARE THE ARCHITECT OF DEVELOPING INDIA AND SCOPE OF ENGINEERS IN INDIA IS APPROXIMAT­ELY 80

PER CENT OF THE BUSINESS SECTOR & PLAY A VERY SIGNIFICAN­T ROLE IN EVERY WALK OF OUR LIVES
