Malwa Rice & General Mills

We are situated on Burja Road not far from the Maharaja Ranjeet Singh College. You can often see the students walking past the gates on their way to classes. The mill itself is a collection of several buildings and sheds that have been added over time. It’s a bit of a maze inside with all the pipes and the elevators going up to the top floors. We handle different types of grains and the machines are always being adjusted for the next batch. The air stays heavy with the scent of the fields. We have a small courtyard where we park the scooters and there is an old dog that hangs around the main entrance. The work is steady and keeps us on our feet for most of the day. We don't have a fancy reception area. If someone needs to talk to us they just come into the main shed or find someone in the office. The walls are stained from years of dust and grease but the place runs well enough. In the winter months we have to start the engines early so they warm up properly. It’s a local business and we know the other mill owners on the road quite well. We just focus on getting the rice through the hullers and into the bags without too much trouble. It is a practical life and we are used to the noise and the hard work.
