Rk Agrawal Poha Mill

Rk Agrawal Poha Mill is located in Village Tumdibod, which is part of the Dongargaon Taluka. The full address includes the post office in Dongargaon and Janta Colony on Lakholi Road. It’s a bit of a distance from the bigger cities, so it feels very quiet and rural out here. The mill is a large building that stands out a bit in the village. We have a lot of space around us, which is good for the trucks that come to pick up the poha. The air in Tumdibod is fresh, though inside the mill, it’s full of the smell of toasted grain. We work according to the seasons and the local harvest. Most of the people working here are from around the village or Janta Colony. We all know each other. The walk to the mill from Lakholi Road is short, and you can see the fields all around. Inside, the machines are quite old but they still do the job. We don’t have any modern office furniture or computers everywhere. It’s mostly just ledgers and manual work. The light comes through the high windows and hits the dusty floor. It’s a steady life in the village. We start our day early when it’s still cool and finish up before the sun goes down. There isn't much drama here, just the daily routine of the mill and the sounds of the countryside. It is just a simple place where we produce poha.
