Mysore/Mysuru: The Department of Civil Engineering, Maharaja Institute of Technology Mysore (MIT Mysore), in association with SAI CAD Institute, Bengaluru, has made a historic attempt as a tribute to Bharat Ratna Sir M. Visvesvaraya (MV), on the occasion of Engineers’ Day-2025 by creating a gigantic geo portrait measuring 80 metres x 100 metres (covering 8,000 square metres / 86,111 square feet) at its sports ground.
This is a first-of-its-kind attempt in India and will be a unique tribute to the legendary engineer and administrator of the erstwhile Mysore Princely State. This portrait is made using manufactured sand (M-Sand), 40 mm down-graded coarse aggregates, nylon thread, harmless colours and soil.
