Karnataka Food & Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd

We are tucked away in Sahakara Nagar at number 2405. Most people just walk right past the sign if they aren't looking for it. It's a busy place during the week, mostly with paperwork and tracking the bags of grain that move through the city. The floor here is concrete and there are always stacks of ledgers on the desks. We spend a lot of time on the phone or talking to drivers who get lost looking for the entrance. It’s not a fancy office at all. The fans hum all day and the light through the windows gets pretty dusty by the afternoon. People come in with their forms and wait on the plastic chairs. Sometimes the tea man comes by and that's the highlight of the morning. It’s just how things work here at Karnataka Food & Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd. We handle a lot of the basic stuff people need to eat, like rice and oil, but it’s mostly just moving things from one place to another. You see a lot of the same faces every week. It gets loud when everyone is talking at once over the counter. We’ve been at this address for a while now. The neighborhood has changed around us, but we stay doing the same thing. It’s just a job for most of us, making sure the supplies get where they are supposed to go without too much trouble. It is a lot of counting and checking.
