Working as a counterpart to her husband in his automobile repair shop at Sujatha Nagar near Kothagudem in Telangana is a 30-year-old woman who is known for three things her command in the kitchen, her skills in the garage, and being the only woman mechanic in Telangana.
Adilaxmi, a mother of two, does everything from changing the tyres of 2 wheelers to trucks and carriers.
Adilaxmi and Veerabhadram got married in 2010, soon after which they moved to Sujatha Nagar in search of a better livelihood.
In order to make ends meet, the couple set up a mechanic and welding shop, on a mortgaged amount of no less than one lakh. She started learning the work to help her husband and is now quite an expert mechanic.
“I now can handle the work like mending a punctured inner tube, greasing and fitting tyres into the vehicle rim and axle on my own, though it seemed tough initially. We serve the customers round the clock,” she said.
Adilaxmi is a perfect example of a lady who strikes a balance between her work and home, and in the process creates a better life for herself and her family.
