இதில் இந்த கிருஷ்ணராஜ சாகர் அணையானது விஸ்வேஸ்வரய்யாவின் திட்டவரைவாலும், மேற்பார்வையிலும் உருவாக்கப்பட்டது. அதாவது அவர் 'பிளாக் சிஸ்டம்' என்கிற கண்டுபிடிப்பை உருவாக்கினார். இதனையடுத்து 1903ல் அவர் உருவாக்கிய கண்டுபிடிப்பு அனைவரின் கவனத்தையும் ஈர்த்தது மட்டுமல்லாது ஆயிரக்கணக்கான மக்களின் உயிரையும் பாதுகாத்தது. தொடக்கத்தில் மும்பையின் செயற்பொறியாளராக இருந்து பணியாற்றிய அவர், பின்னர் இந்திய பாசன ஆணையத்தில் சேர்ந்தார். இந்தியா மட்டுமல்ல இலங்கை மற்றும் தான்சியா ஆகிய நாடுகளும் இத்தினத்தை இதே நாளில் கடைப்பிடித்து வருகிறது. ஏன் எனில் ஒரு பொறியாளர் புதிய கட்டமைப்பை உருவாக்குவதுடன் ஒருபோதும் நின்றுவிடக்கூடாது, அதனை மேலும் செழுமைப்படுத்தி மக்களுக்கு அதன் முழு பலனையும் அளிக்கும் வகையில் செயல்பட வேண்டும்.
