Kothagudem (25.07.2023): Government officials earn respect from the public when they pay attention to their problems and resolve them. As an example of such respect for government officials, the residents of a tribal hamlet, Madhya Gumpu in Subbaraopet gram panchayat of Dummugudem mandal, have renamed their hamlet after IAS officer Anudeep Durishetty (IAS: 2018: TG), who served as Kothagudem district Collector until recently.

He addressed a problem which the residents were struggling with for the last five decades. The hamlet lacked a proper road facility to reach the main road and the residents suffered a lot to reach the main road in times of emergency. But with the initiative of Durishetty, the land acquisition problem was solved and a gravel road was laid in February.

There was one more such instance when a village was named as Asok Nagar in Kadapa district in the constituency of the then undivided Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Y.S.Rajasekhara Reddy in 2006. The CM himself named the village after the then Collector G Asok Kumar (IAS: 1991: AP), who had helped in quick development of Kadapa district.

Durishetty was recently appointed as the youngest collector of Hyderabad district. This is perhaps the first time that an IAS officer with just five years of service is being posted as Hyderabad district Collector.
