Shri Krishna Rice Mills

Our mill is situated on Rajgarh Road, and it's where we spend most of our waking hours. It’s a straightforward operation. We have the milling machines in one section and the storage in another. It’s not a clean job, you’re always going home with dust in your hair and on your clothes. We don't mind it much because it's what we've always known. The routine is the same every day: open the doors, check the equipment, and start the processing. We have a few guys who have been with us since we started, so we’re more like a small group of friends than coworkers. We talk about the weather and the crops while we work. Rajgarh Road is fairly busy, so we see a lot of people passing by. Sometimes they stop in just to say hello or ask about the current grain prices. We don't have a marketing department or a fancy website. We just rely on the fact that we've been here for years and people know we do the work properly. When the machines are humming, you can feel the vibration in the concrete floor. It’s a comforting sound in a way. It means things are moving and the day is progressing. We keep the place running as long as there is rice to be processed. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living for all of us. We finish up when the last truck leaves and then we head home to rest.
