Asst. Engineer

My name is Y. Mallikhara Rao, and I work as an Asst. Engineer here in Guntur district. I am the son of Y. Venkateswara Rao, and we are based in Kuchellapadu Post within the Vemuru Mandal. Our life is very much tied to this land and the local community. The office is just a simple space where I handle engineering requests for the people in the mandal. It’s not like those big firms you see in the city with glass walls and uniforms. Here, it’s much more personal. I often have people coming by the house to discuss their plans or ask for advice on a project. Being in a rural area like Vemuru means the work is often about irrigation, small buildings, or land issues. I spend a lot of time outdoors, but when I am at my desk, I’m busy with the technical details that keep everything running smoothly. The pace of life in Guntur is steady. I try to be as helpful as I can, using what I know about engineering to solve local problems. It’s a quiet life, mostly, except for the sounds of the village and the occasional tractor passing by. I don’t use any fancy language to describe what I do. I just help people build things correctly and safely. It’s what my family has always valued—doing a good job and being part of the community.
