AKSHAY BHANDAR NIDHI LIMITED

Akshay Bhandar Nidhi Limited is situated at Plot P12 in Lakshminarayanpur. This is way down in the Uttar Mathurapur area of South 24 Parganas. If you are coming from Kolkata, it is quite a journey, but for the locals, we are right where we need to be. Our office is a modest place with a few ceiling fans and some basic furniture. We have a big table where we do most of the processing for the savings accounts. It can get quite dusty because of the roads nearby, so we are always wiping down the desks. Most of our day is spent talking to the residents who live in the Mathurapur - 1 block. They come in to deposit a bit of money or to ask how the rules work. We keep things straightforward and don't use any big words that nobody understands. The atmosphere is very casual. You might see some of us sharing a meal at the desk during lunchtime. We handle all the records ourselves, making sure every entry is written down correctly in the thick books we keep. It’s a lot of manual work, but it keeps us connected to what’s happening in the community. We have been at this location for a while, and the neighbors are used to seeing us arrive every morning to open the shutters.
