2024, MEDIUM

The Royal Charter of 1935 was a pivotal moment in India's engineering history, transforming the Institution of Engineers (India) (IEI) and the profession itself. Rooted in colonial times, the Charter helped standardize practices, foster innovation, and elevate local engineers to global recognition. It also reshaped engineering education, producing over 350,000 qualified engineers and setting the stage for world-class institutions like IITs. This legacy continues to shape India's technological growth and commitment to professional excellence today.
