M.S. Rao, the veteran Broadcast Engineer entered 96th year of his life on 09-02-2018. We took this opportunity to talk to him on 09849097416. He sounded energetic even from the bed of the old age home at Hyderabad where he is almost confined to one room, as he can not walk much. We also talked to his son, who has come to see him from US and has kindly sent us the photo of our respected MS Rao with his son and daughters.
Born on 9th February 1923, Shri M.S. Rao had joined Broadcasting House, All India Radio, Delhi on his b’day i.e. 09-02-1949 as Technical Assistant. Later on he served at All India Radio, Hyderabad, Madras, Kadappa, Lucknow, Aligarh and Mumbai. Shri M.S. Rao also worked as Installation Engineer for Doordarshan and installed Doordarshan Studios/Transmitters at Raipur, Rewa, Unnav (Kanpur) and Jalandhar. Shri Rao later again came back to Broadcasting House, All India Radio, Delhi, from where he had started his career, and retired from the same place in 1981 as EnC (SgE). Later he went to Tripoli, Libiya as technical advisor and stayed there for 4 years. After his return to India, he remained active in professional organisations like IETE, BES etc and became a popular science writer too.
We pray to almighty God to bless him a happy, healthy, peaceful and contented life.
