Akash Rice Mills

You will find Akash Rice Mills out on Raipur Khurdh Road, which is in the Tehsil Ajnala area. It is a bit of a drive out here, away from the main city noise, which we actually quite like. The air is a bit fresher, though it gets very dusty when the wind picks up across the fields. Our mill is a practical space designed for one thing, and that is processing the rice that the local farmers bring to us. The building is functional, with high ceilings and plenty of room for the heavy bags to be moved around. We don't have any polished floors or air-conditioned offices. It is a workplace through and through. In Ajnala, the seasons really dictate how busy we are. During the harvest, we are working around the clock, and the lights of the mill stay on late into the night. Other times, it is a bit quieter, giving us a chance to fix the machines and tidy up the yard. We aren't big on fancy talk or making grand promises. We just show up every morning on Raipur Khurdh Road and get to work. Most of our neighbors are doing the same thing, so there is a good sense of community out here. It is a tough job sometimes, especially when the machinery acts up, but we have been doing this long enough to know how to handle it.
