Ferro Alloys Corporation Ltd

You can find us at the Boula Chromite Mine, which is located near the post office at Dhanurjaypur in the Kaonjhar district of Orissa. This is Ferro Alloys Corporation Ltd, and we spend our days out here in the mining area. Working at a chromite mine means you get used to the red dust and the sound of heavy equipment pretty quickly. It’s not the kind of job where you wear a suit. We are mostly in our work gear, making sure the operations are going as they should. Dhanurjaypur is where we get our mail, and it’s a bit of a drive to get to any of the larger towns. We have a small group of people here who have become like family because we spend so much time together at the site. The work is mostly about getting the ore out and moving it to where it needs to go. Sometimes the weather makes things difficult, like when the heat gets really intense in the summer months. But the work doesn't stop. We have our routines and we stick to them. It’s a very practical environment. We don't spend time on fancy talk; we just focus on the mining and the logistics of the ferro alloys business. If you are looking for us, you have to head deep into the mining district of Orissa. It’s a hardworking place with people who just want to get the job done right. It is a long day but we get through it.
