Ngamboi Iron & Steel Works

Out here in Koite Village, things move at their own pace. Ngamboi Iron & Steel Works is located right in Kumbipukhri, which is part of the Churachandpur- Taluk area. It’s a quiet spot compared to the big cities, but we have plenty to keep us occupied. We work with iron and steel, mostly doing the heavy lifting and cutting that’s needed for local projects. The workshop isn’t anything special to look at, just a sturdy building where we keep our tools and materials. You can hear the sound of hammers and machines from down the road. Sometimes the power goes out, which is just part of living in the village, so we take a break until it comes back on. We know almost everyone who stops by because this is a small place. People come to us when they need something made or fixed. We don’t have fancy brochures or a sales team. It’s just us and the metal. The air smells like dust and iron most of the time. We take pride in just getting the work done right so it lasts. It’s a simple life here in Kumbipukhri. We watch the seasons change from the open doors of the shop. Even when it’s hot, we stay busy with the forge and the anvil. It’s how we’ve always done it, and it seems to work out fine for the community. There is always a pile of scrap metal out back waiting to be used for something.
