Gayatri Gram Udyog Modern Rice Mills

We’re based out in Atrulia, which is a quiet enough place most of the time. We call it a modern rice mill because we upgraded some of the old hullers a few years back, but the building itself is still the same one we’ve used forever. It’s got high ceilings that keep it relatively cool, though in the middle of summer, it’s still tough to work in there. We work under the Gayatri Gram Udyog name, which means we’re part of the local rural industry scene. We see the same faces every week, mostly local farmers bringing in their crops. There’s a certain rhythm to the work that feels good once you get into it. Sometimes the bags get stacked too high and one falls over, creating a mess we have to spend an hour cleaning up. We don't have a receptionist; if the phone rings, whoever is closest to the small desk in the corner picks it up. We aren't trying to expand into some massive corporation. We just want to keep the mill running so the people in Atrulia have a place to bring their grain. It’s honest work, even if it leaves you tired and covered in dust at the end of every shift. We just take it one day at a time and hope the harvest is good this year.
