Engineers' Day: Dr. Anil Mehta says, 'Without  undue pressure from administration, Engineers   can serve  excellent engineering for environment and water source improvement'

Udaipur, Dr. Anil Mehta, Principal of Vidya Bhavan Polytechnic, said that engineers should make water source improvement, conservation, and protection their main goal. He added that M. Visvesvaraya, a Bharat Ratna awardee, had served society and the country through various works like water supply from Sindh River to Sukkur city, construction of Krishna Raja Sagara dam, flood control system in Hyderabad city, and Khadakwasla reservoir floodgate. His work in water source management has been appreciated worldwide.

Dr. Mehta said that Visvesvaraya was never under pressure from the government, and current rulers and administrators should not pressurize engineers to work on environmentally destructive projects. Tej Shankar Paliwal, former member of Lake Development Authority, paid tribute to the role of engineers in the country's development and said that engineers who work with environmental awareness should be considered the best.

Nand Kishore Sharma, Director of Gandhi Human Welfare Committee, said that Udaipur's engineers are experienced, but they face pressure to work according to the instructions of new consultants. Educator Kushal Rawal suggested that all engineering colleges in Udaipur should start a special course on Udaipur's environment. Senior citizen Drupad Singh and other aware citizens present said that engineers play a crucial role in saving hills, trees, water, and environment. On this occasion, a cleanliness drive was also organized."
