Chhatral Gidc Industrial Association

The Chhatral Gidc Industrial Association is located on the first floor of the Gidc Shopping Centre, right along the Mehsana Highway Road. It is a central spot for a lot of the local business owners to gather. The office itself is pretty basic, with a few meeting tables and rows of chairs for when we have our regular get-togethers. Being right on the highway means there is always a lot of noise from the trucks passing by, but it makes the location convenient for members coming from different parts of the industrial estate. We spend a lot of time here dealing with the various issues that pop up for the industries in this area. It’s not a corporate headquarters by any means; it’s more of a community hub where people can come to talk about what’s going on in the GIDC. The walls are lined with maps of the industrial zone and notices about local regulations. Sometimes the air conditioning doesn't work quite as well as it should when the room is full, but we manage to get through the meetings anyway. We have a small staff who keeps the records and handles the day-to-day administrative stuff. It’s a place where things actually get discussed and sorted out among the local business community. We've been in this shopping centre for years and it’s become the natural home for our association's activities. It’s a simple, functional space for people who work hard.
