I. Introduction
This internship was aimed at understanding
the rural education landscape in Chirala
and Papaypalem village. I participated in
the internship in Remote mode under the
domain
VILLAGE INFRASTRUCTURE".
The assessment was conducted through
direct field observation, community
interaction, and data collection.
Papaypalem village exhibits a mix of
developing and underdeveloped
infrastructure elements. Basic amenities
such as electricity, drinking water, and road
connectivity are present but vary in quality
and reliability. The road infrastructure
within the village consists mainly of narrow,
unpaved paths, with some concrete roads
connecting key areas. Water is primarily
sourced from borewells and public taps, and
while electricity is available, power cuts are
frequent.
Sanitation facilities are in the process of
improvement, with some households having
access to individual toilets, while others still
rely on shared or open spaces. Solid waste
management is minimal, with limited
organized collection or disposal systems in
place. Public institutions like schools and a
primary health center serve the community,
though they face challenges such as limited
staffing and infrastructure. Transportation
to nearby towns is available but irregular,
making access to markets, hospitals, and
higher education institutions moderately
difficult.
Overall, Papaypalem village's infrastructure
reflects a developing urban setting with
ongoing efforts toward improvement
through government schemes and local
initiatives.

particularly for school-going children,
women, and elderly residents who
often avoid venturing out after dark
due to the fear of accidents or theft.
This issue highlighted the village’s
dependence on an unreliable power
supply and the absence of a consistent
maintenance mechanism for public
lighting. Realizing the urgent need for
a reliable and sustainable lighting
solution, I proposed the
implementation of solar-powered
street lights. These lights operate
independently of the main power
grid, harnessing energy from the sun
and storing it in batteries for
nighttime use. Not only do they
eliminate the need for electricity from
conventional sources, but they are
also low-maintenance and
environmentally friendly. Introducing
solar lighting in key areas such as bus
stops, school roads, temple
surroundings, and common pathways
would significantly improve safety
and support the village’s long-term
development goals.

VII KEY ACTIVITIES VIII CHALLENGES & LEARNINGS
I. .
uring the course of studying village
infrastructure in Papaypalem, I faced several
challenges that helped me grow both
personally and professionally. Firstly, some
people did not respond properly. One major
difficulty was communication, as language
barriers made it hard to explain
infrastructure concepts and collect detailed
information from residents. To overcome this,
I relied on visuals, gestures, and simplified
language. Another challenge was the lack of
reliable data; many areas lacked proper
documentation, requiring me to depend on
direct observation and informal discussions.
Accessing remote parts of the village was
often difficult due to broken or unpaved
roads, especially during bad weather.
Interviewed a person in the village Coordination with local authorities and
about street lights arranging meetings with Panchayat members
also required patience and persistence.
However, these challenges led to valuable
learnings. I improved my time management
by planning field visits efficiently and learned
to adapt my communication methods based
on the audience. I developed a deeper
understanding of how rural communities
prioritize infrastructure needs and recognized
the importance of involving locals in both
identifying problems and proposing solutions.
This experience also encouraged me to think
creatively—such as suggesting solar-powered
street lights where electricity was unreliable—
highlighting the importance of sustainable
and context-based development.
Visited a small house in the village
with no proper facilities.
IX SDG MAPPING
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and
Infrastructure
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and
Communities
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
X IMPACT REFLECTION
Engaging with the village
infrastructure issues in Papaypalem
has been an eye-opening experience
that deepened my understanding of
urban development challenges and
opportunities. By closely observing
and interacting with the community, I
realized how critical reliable
infrastructure is to everyday life—
affecting safety, education, mobility,
and overall well-being. The process of
identifying gaps such as broken roads,
non-functional streetlights, and
dilapidated school facilities showed
me the interconnected nature of these
issues and the urgent need for
sustainable solutions. Proposing
solar-powered streetlights and
advocating for road repairs gave me a
sense of contribution and
responsibility towards fostering
positive change. This experience also
reinforced the importance of
community involvement and local
government cooperation to ensure
long-term impact. Ultimately, this
internship strengthened my problem-
solving skills, cultural sensitivity, and
commitment to pursuing initiatives
that empower rural communities and
improve their quality of life.

XIV CONCLUSION
Working in the domain of village
infrastructure in Papaypalem was a
deeply enriching and
transformative experience. From
facing challenges such as language
barriers, poor accessibility, and
limited cooperation from
authorities, to navigating unreliable
data and difficult field conditions,
each obstacle tested my patience,
adaptability, and communication
skills. However, these challenges
also became learning opportunities.
I developed innovative ways to
communicate using visuals and
gestures, improved my time
management through careful
planning, and learned to engage
the community with empathy and
respect. Observing the real-life
impact of broken roads, inadequate
street lighting, and poorly
maintained public facilities made
me more aware of the critical role
infrastructure plays in rural
development. Proposing
sustainable solutions like solar-
powered street lights not only
boosted my confidence but also
gave me a sense of purpose. This
experience taught me the value of
grassroots involvement, creative
thinking, and persistent effort in
creating meaningful change. It has
inspired me to continue working
towards practical solutions that
improve the quality of life in
underserved communities.

XVI MY GOV CERTIFICATE / LIPI TASK
I had a wonderful
experience while
completing the Swachh
Bharat Mission
(Grameen) Pledge and
participating in the
Drinking Water and
Sanitation Quiz on the
MyGov.in app. The
activities were not only
informative but also
deeply inspiring,
reinforcing the
importance of
cleanliness, hygiene, and
sustainable water
practices in rural India. I
feel proud to contribute
to this national
movement and encourage
everyone to take part in
these initiatives for a
cleaner and healthier
India.
I had a great time playing the
Lipi Word Cruise game,
where I was proud to achieve
the Brahma Level. The game
was both entertaining and
educational, greatly
enhancing my vocabulary
and language skills.
In addition to these activities,
I explored India's rich
heritage by writing essays
about the celebrated poet
Errana and the historic
Kondapalli Fort. I also
learned about and
documented traditional folk
culture, including bamboo
mat stitching, a unique and
eco-friendly handicraft that
reflects the creativity and
sustainability of Indian
artisans.
These experiences were both
meaningful and inspiring,
and I’m grateful to have had
the opportunity to participate
and learn through such a
diverse set of activitie
