Sir MV was born in the erstwhile Mysore state (now Karnataka) in Muddenahalli village on September 15, 1861, he was a revered Indian civil engineer, scholar and statesman. He was also the 19th Diwan of Mysore, and served from 1912 to 1918. He was called the Father of Modern Mysore State on account of his extensive work towards the upliftment of the state.
Among his many achievements, Sir MV was also responsible for the construction of Mysore’s Krishna Raja Sagara Dam where he was the chief engineer. He also held the position of chief designer for the flood protection system in Hyderabad. His efforts were recognised by the Indian government and it was for this that he was awarded the Bharat Ratna award, India’s highest civilian honour, in 1955.
Sir M Visvesvaraya As Role Model- Following a catastrophic flood in 1908 in Hyderabad, the then Nizam requested Sir M Visvesvaraya’s services to design a drainage system and protect the city from flooding. The engineer proposed the construction of storage reservoirs and also built a sewage farm outside the city to prevent pollution of the Musi river that flows through Hyderabad.
Visvesvaraya started his career as an assistant engineer in the Public Works Department of the Government of Bombay and made significant contributions to many technical projects in Mysore, Hyderabad, Odisha and Maharashtra. He was appointed as the Diwan of Mysore in 1912 and as a chief engineer, he constructed the famous Krishna Raja Sagara Dam in the city.
The automatic water floodgates, initially installed at the Khadakwasla reservoir in Pune in 1903, were later patented and the government of India also graced him with ‘Bharat Ratna’ for his work.
He also established the Government Engineering College in Bengaluru in 1917, which was later renamed as University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering. An architect of Krishnaraja Sagar Dam, he also served as one of the chief engineers of the flood protection system in Hyderabad.
He was known for his excellent irrigation techniques and had flood disaster management skills.
He also authored various books, such as ‘Reconstructing India’ and ‘Planned Economy of India’.
He brought major reforms in the field of banking, education, commerce, agriculture, irrigation and industralisation and was also a well-known precursor of economic planning in India.
