GREENEKKA CONSTRUCTION PRIVATE LIMITED

You can find us out in Govinddih, which is in the Barkagaon area of Hazaribagh. We operate out of Jethu Mahto’s place. Jethu is the son of Jamlu Mahto, and his family has been here for generations. GREENEKKA CONSTRUCTION PRIVATE LIMITED isn't a big, fancy company with a lot of staff. It’s just a few of us who know how to build things properly. The area around Barkagaon is very busy with all the mining activities, so there is always a lot of dust in the air. Our office is just a simple room with a couple of chairs and a heavy wooden table. We spend most of our time out in the sun, checking on the workers or talking to the truck drivers. It’s hard to keep a clean shirt in this line of work. Sometimes we have to travel quite a bit to get the right quality of stone or sand for a project. We don't have a marketing department. If we do a good job on a house, the neighbor usually asks for our number. That is how we have kept going all these years. The roads around here can be tough on the vehicles, so we spend a lot of time fixing our old jeep. It is a slow process, building something from the ground up, but we take it one day at a time. It feels good to see a finished wall standing strong in the wind.
