Sri Ganesh Rice Mills

Sri Ganesh Rice Mills is located in Dhalbhumgarh, right near the railway station. Being close to the tracks makes it easy for transport, though the trains can be quite loud when they pass by. This is a place where we process paddy into rice throughout the year. The air inside the mill is usually thick with the smell of grain and the sound of the hulling machines running. It’s a very practical environment. We have large areas for drying the grain when the weather permits. Most of the people working here have been with us for years and they know the machinery inside and out. It’s hard work, especially when the harvest comes in and the trucks start lining up outside. We deal with farmers from across the Dhalbhum Tehsil and the rest of East Singhbhum. They bring their crops, and we handle the processing part. The floors are often covered in a thin layer of husk, and there is always something that needs oiling or fixing. We don’t have a fancy front office for visitors. Usually, if someone needs to talk to us, they just come into the main shed where the work is happening. It’s a dusty, busy place, but it’s how we’ve always operated. We focus on getting the rice cleaned and packed so it can go out to the markets where it’s needed. The work is tough but it keeps the community fed.
