Shree Murugan Modern Rice Mill

Shree Murugan Modern Rice Mill is located at No.93 on the Karur Main Road. Ganapathypalayam is a place where there is always something moving, mostly because of the traffic on the main road. We see a lot of lorries passing by every hour. The mill itself has been updated with modern equipment over the years, which makes the work a bit faster than it used to be in the old days. My father remembers when everything was much slower. Now, we handle a lot more volume, but the basic work is still the same. You have to watch the quality of the paddy coming in. We spend our days mostly in the warehouse or near the processing units. It’s a lot of manual work, moving bags and keeping the floor clean. The dust is something you never really get rid of entirely, no matter how much you sweep. We open the doors early and usually don't close until the sun is well down. People from Ganapathypalayam know us as a regular fixture on this road. We don't do much advertising; folks just know where we are because we’ve been at this address for so long. It’s a straightforward way to make a living. We just focus on the grain and the machines. Sometimes we have a tea break under the shade outside when the heat gets to be too much. It's just normal work.
