Dhingra Rice & General Mills

At Dhingra Rice & General Mills, we are located at No. 83, Dhab Basti Ram. It’s a busy neighborhood and we fit right in with the other shops and small factories. We do a mix of things here, mostly focusing on rice but handling some other general milling too. The space is pretty packed with machinery and storage bins. We don’t have much room for anything else. Every morning starts with the sound of the engines turning over. It’s a loud place to work, so we’ve all gotten used to speaking up. We spend our time checking the quality of the grain and making sure the bags are weighed correctly. It’s a lot of repetitive work, but it has to be done right. We don't have a marketing team or anything like that. We just rely on the people who have been coming to us at Dhab Basti Ram for years. The floor is usually covered in a bit of dust, which is just part of the job in a mill. We take breaks when we can, usually sitting on a stack of sacks with a cup of tea. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we do. We’ve been at this address for a long time and we know the rhythms of the street. It’s just a normal day of work for us. We finish up, sweep the floor, and get ready for tomorrow.
