“Lacha Rao” and His Team Emerged as Pillars of Support During Cyclone Emergencies
Kakinada: When cyclones battered the Godavari districts, disrupting livelihoods and testing administrative systems, K. Lacharao stood out as a calm, coordinated, and compassionate leader. Along with his dedicated team, he played a crucial role in supporting relief efforts and restoring confidence among affected communities during repeated cyclone emergencies.
His contribution during these natural disasters has earned widespread respect across administrative and public circles.
Leadership Under Pressure
Cyclones demand swift decisions, ground-level coordination, and human sensitivity. During such high-pressure situations, Sri Lacharao worked closely with district administration, line departments, and local representatives to ensure that relief measures translated into real support on the ground.
Officials note that his ability to mobilise teams quickly and maintain coordination helped reduce confusion during critical hours.
Teamwork That Reached the Last Mile
A defining feature of Sri Lacharao’s service during cyclone periods was the collective effort of his team. From assisting in relief coordination to guiding affected families and displaced youth, the team worked extended hours to ensure help reached those most in need.
Temporary loss of employment and income following cyclones was addressed through counselling, guidance, and follow-up support—particularly for daily wage earners and rural youth.
Standing with Affected Families
Beyond administrative coordination, Sri Lacharao was known for his approachable and reassuring presence. Many affected residents recall receiving guidance, moral support, and practical help at a time when uncertainty was high.
This people-centric approach helped rebuild trust and confidence among cyclone-hit communities.
Non-Partisan Service in Crisis
Political representatives across party lines acknowledged the importance of his role during cyclone emergencies. His work remained strictly service-oriented, focused on public welfare rather than visibility, earning him trust that transcended political affiliations.
Such non-partisan conduct strengthened cooperation between departments and public representatives during relief operations.
From Crisis Response to Institutional Strength
The consistent performance of Sri Lacharao and his team during cyclone situations strengthened the credibility of VIKASA as a dependable support system during emergencies. It demonstrated how institutional preparedness and committed leadership can complement disaster-response mechanisms.
A Reputation Built in Difficult Times
Sri Lacharao’s services during cyclones, much like during the COVID pandemic, have become a key reason he is regarded as a reliable and humane administrator in the Godavari region. His elevation reflects confidence in leadership that has been tested during the toughest of times.
