Jai Jagdamba Rice & General Mill

You can find us over on Daliz Road at Jai Jagdamba Rice & General Mill. It's a pretty straightforward setup here. We handle the rice and do some general milling whenever it’s needed. The building has seen better days, maybe needs a fresh coat of paint, but it stays dry inside and that’s what matters for the grain. We have a routine that hasn't changed much in years. My cousin usually handles the intake while I stay by the output to watch for any issues. The scale we use is old, but it’s accurate and we trust it. Daliz Road gets a lot of tractor traffic, especially during the peak months. Sometimes we have to go out and help direct the drivers so they don't block the whole way. It’s a lot of manual labor, hauling sacks and making sure nothing gets wasted on the floor. We try to keep the floor swept, but it’s a losing battle with the husks flying around. We don't have a big sign out front, just the name painted on the wall. People around here know where we are anyway. It’s a practical life, working with what we have and making sure the day's work is finished before the power cuts out in the evening. There’s no secret to it, just showing up and putting in the hours.
