SIR MOKSHAGUNDAM VIShwEShwARAYA Sir Mokshagundam Vishweshwarayya (15 September 1860 – 12 April 1962) was an Indian Chief civil engineer, scholar, statesman, politician and the 19th Diwan (governor) of Mysore, who served from 1912 to 1919. One of the most eminent engineers ever produced by India, Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, better known as M. Visvesvaraya, was a man of high principles and discipline. An engineer par excellence, he was the chief architect behind the construction of the Krishna Raja Sagara dam in Mandya which helped to convert the surrounding barren lands into fertile grounds for farming. An idealistic person, he believed in simple living and high thinking. His father was a Sanskrit scholar who believed in providing quality education to his son. Even though his parents were not financially rich, the young boy was exposed to a richness of culture and tradition at home. Over the next 10 years (between 1895 & 1905), Sir MV worked at different parts of India including : • Hyderabad where he remodeled the entire city & improved its drainage system, • Bombay where he introduced block system of irrigation & water weir flood gates, • Bihar & Orissa where he was involved in building railway bridges & water supply schemes, • Mysore where he supervised the construction of KRS dam which was Asia’s biggest dam when it was built.
