Guntur Distt. Milk Producers Utually Aided Co-Op.

If you look right behind the government school in the Srinagar area, you will find us. We are located at 22/D in the Maruthi Block of Banashankari 1st Stage. Our building is a practical place where we handle all the milk that comes in from the district. The mornings are easily the busiest time for us. That is when the trucks start arriving and everything begins to move. Since we are a co-op, there are always plenty of people around talking and getting things organized. The space is not fancy at all, but it works for what we need to do every day. We do not wear suits or sit in air-conditioned offices all day long. It is mostly just hands-on work on the floor. Sometimes the traffic on the main road makes it a bit difficult for the drivers, but we have gotten used to the rhythm of the neighborhood. We know most of the producers who come through the doors by their first names. It feels more like a local community gathering than a big business. We stay focused on the daily tasks and making sure the milk is handled right. The equipment is usually running and the floors stay wet from all the cleaning we do. We are tucked away in a quiet part of the block, but we stay busy from the moment the sun comes up. (245 words)
