Vishwakarma Engineering Works & Allied Industries

Our place is out on Dehradun Road, in the Kishanpur-Jamaalpur area. We are right opposite Gims and not far from Puhana Chowk. It’s a wide-open area compared to the city, which is nice. Vishwakarma Engineering Works is basically a big shed where we make things. We do a lot of heavy engineering stuff. There’s usually a tractor or a big piece of machinery parked out front. The air smells like oil and burnt metal most of the time. We don't have air conditioning, so we keep the big doors open to let the breeze in. It gets dusty, but that’s engineering for you. Our workers are mostly from the nearby villages. They’ve been working with their hands their whole lives. We don't have a lot of paperwork or fancy computer systems. We use chalk on the floor sometimes to mark out measurements. It’s old school, but it’s accurate. The road outside is busy with trucks heading towards Dehradun, so there’s always noise. We’ve been here long enough that everyone knows us. We don't put on any acts. We just do the work, charge a fair price, and go home to our families. It’s a simple life. Sometimes we sit outside on benches when the sun goes down to talk about the day before we lock up the gates. It’s just us doing what we know how to do best.
