Hindustan Construction Co. Ltd.

We are set up in Manikundal, which is a village in the Erasama area of Jagatsinghpur. It is quite a rural spot in Orissa. Being out here means we are close to the actual work sites, which is helpful. The office isn't anything special, just a sturdy building that keeps the dust out. We deal with a lot of heat and the occasional heavy rain during the monsoon season. The roads can get pretty muddy around the post office. Most of the staff here are used to the local pace of life. We spend a lot of time talking to the workers and making sure the supplies arrive on time. It is a lot of logistical work in a place that isn't always easy to reach. We don't have many of the conveniences you find in the bigger city offices, but we have what we need to get the job done. There is a sense of community among the people working here because we are all far from home. We share meals and talk about the progress we’ve made on the local infrastructure. It is honest work and we take it one day at a time. The local residents know us by now. We just try to stay organized and keep the project moving forward without too much fuss. There is plenty to do before the sun goes down.
