As a child, Vishwa walked a long way to get to school. As a college student, he tutored two children to make ends meet. And as an engineer, he built dams, bridges and institutions, and the foundation for a modern India. Read this book to know how Sir M. Visvesvaraya observed the world around him, learnt from it, made bold decisions and never shied away from hard work.
