Agar Products

Agar Products is located out in Village Noon Nagar. We are in the Cachar district, near the Katirail post office and Katghora tehsil. The State Bank of India is quite close to us, which is a big help for giving directions. It’s a rural area, so things are pretty quiet. We deal with local products that come from around this region. The facility we use is basically a large shed and a small office attached to it. It’s functional. We don't have fancy tiles or painted walls. It’s just concrete and brick. My family has been in this village for generations. We started this business because there was a need for it here. During the harvest season, we get very busy. There are trucks coming in and out, and there’s dust everywhere. We just work through it. The workers are all from the nearby houses. We know everyone by name. It’s a close-knit community. We don't do much marketing. News travels by word of mouth in Noon Nagar. If we do a good job, people talk. If we don't, they talk even more. So we just try to keep things moving steadily. The power goes out sometimes, and we just wait for it to come back or use the lanterns if it’s late. It’s just how things are in this part of Cachar. We are used to it. The work is physical and we are often tired by the end of the day.
