Ma Tara Kisan Producer Company Limited

Our office is located at 198 Pawar in Jasra. It’s a straightforward setup. We don't have a lot of bells and whistles. Ma Tara Kisan Producer Company Limited is basically just a group of us working out of this space to keep things moving for the local growers. Jasra is a place where everyone knows everyone else’s business, so we get a lot of walk-ins. People come in with questions about their yields or just to check on what's happening with the collective. The room can get a bit cramped when more than three people are inside at once. We have some old wooden chairs and a table that has seen better days, but it works for what we need. The sun hits the front of the building pretty hard in the afternoons, making it quite warm. We usually leave the door open to catch a breeze. Working in agriculture means our schedules are tied to the weather and the seasons. When it rains, things slow down a bit. When it's dry, we are running around trying to get everything sorted. It’s not a corporate environment at all. We wear regular clothes and talk like neighbors because that’s what we are. There’s a tea stall not far from 198 Pawar where we usually end up talking through the day’s problems. It’s practical work. We spend a lot of time on the phone or looking at bags of grain. It’s just how we get things done here in Jasra. We’re mostly just focused on the day-to-day tasks.
