Lathait Kishaan Worker Association

Lathait Kishaan Worker Association is based out of Chutmalpur, right on the Dehradun Road. We are located near the Amar Ujala office, which most people know well. Suresh Dutt Sharma’s son is the one managing things here. It’s a busy spot because of all the traffic moving between Dehradun and the surrounding areas. Our office is a simple place where we gather to talk about worker issues and farming matters. It isn't a fancy corporate office with air conditioning and leather chairs. We have wooden benches and a lot of old registers where we keep our notes. The walls have a few calendars and posters, but not much else. We deal with real problems that the workers and farmers face in this region. Chutmalpur is a transit point for many, so we get people stopping by at all hours. We don't have a formal dress code or a set of polished rules for how we talk. It’s just plain English and a lot of common sense. Some days we spend more time outside on the road than inside the office. It’s a very grounded way of working. We aren't trying to sell anything or make a big name for ourselves. We just provide a space for the association members to meet and sort out their daily struggles. It’s a bit dusty because of the road, but we don't mind the grit. We’ve been at this for a while now and just keep going with the daily grind.
