Jk Lakshmi Cement Ltd.

In the village of Malpuri Khurd, right by the Ahiwara post office, you will find our site. We are part of the Dhamdha tehsil in Durg district, and it is a fairly rural spot to spend your working days. The environment here is mostly fields and small houses, so the cement plant stands out quite a bit. At Jk Lakshmi Cement Ltd., the work is physical and consistent. We deal with the logistics of moving large quantities of cement through the small village roads which wasn't always easy when we first started out. The staff here are mostly locals from Malpuri Khurd or the nearby villages in Durg. We know the shortcut paths and the best times to avoid the heat. There is a lot of waiting for trucks and then a sudden burst of energy when they finally arrive. We have a small office where we keep the records, but most of the time is spent out on the floor or near the loading area. The air is often heavy with the smell of the nearby countryside mixed with the dry scent of cement. It isn’t a place with many luxuries. We have a water cooler that gets a lot of use and some benches under the shade of a few trees. We just try to keep things organized and make sure the deliveries go out to the tehsil without too much trouble. It is a steady way to make a living in this part of Chhattisgarh.
