K.Sunkesula (Khajipet Mandal)

K Sunkesula alias Kahjipeta Sunkesula is a village about 4 miiles due north of Pushpagiri and some twelve miles northwest of Kadapa (Cuddapah). It contains a police station, two Board elementary schools—one for Musalmans—and a branch post office. Sunkesuia is a common name of villages in this part of the country and the prefix Khajipet is employed to distinguish this village from other Sunkesulas. The village of Khajipet is said to have been built by one Meera Khan, a captain in the army of one of the Nawabs of Kadapa (Cuddapah).

No account of Khajipeta sunkcsula, however brief, would be complete without some mention of Duggi Reddi Venkata Reddi, headman of the village from 1870 to 1904. His term of office was marked by exceptional efficiency and the utmost devotion to duty. In the early years of his life, before the great famine, he already gave such proof of his ability that a Tahsildar of Kadapa (Cuddapah) wanted him to be made a revenue inspector. For having superintended the construction of a road from Khajipet to Kamalapuram during the great famine he was rewarded with a gold bangle on which is an inscription to the effect that it was presented to him by Government ” as a reward for conspicuous energy and devotion to duty in connection with the execution of relief works during the famine of 1877.

“His whole-hearted co-operation with Mr. MacCartic in his successful introduction of prickly-pear as cattle fodder in 1877 was also commended by Government. Later on he was given a silver ring as a reward for promoting vaccination. Throughout his term of office he was frequently employed in assisting less efficient village officers to collect outstanding balances.

He was a taluk board member from 1886 to 1903 and in the latter year was elected a member of the District Board. As remarkable as his long and faithful service to Government was his devotion to public charities, in recognition of which he was in 1903 granted a certificate by the Viceroy in the name of His Majesty the King-Emperor.Reddy
