Essel Mining & Industries Ltd Barbil

We are based out at the Kasia Iron Ore Mines, which is right in the middle of the mining belt in Barbil. Being in Keonjhar means we are constantly surrounded by that red dust and the sound of heavy machinery moving around from dawn until dusk. This isn't an office in some city center; it is right where the actual work happens. Our mail goes to the post office in Barbil, but our daily lives are spent at the mine site itself. It can be a real trek to get out here, and the roads are often rough, especially when the rains come and turn everything into a thick mud. We have a small setup here to manage the local operations for Essel Mining & Industries Ltd Barbil. It gets quite loud with all the trucks and the equipment running, but that is just part of the daily routine for us. Most of the people working here are from the local area or have lived in Orissa for years because of the mines. We don't have any fancy amenities or air-conditioned lobbies, just the basic stuff we need to keep the operations going and the records straight. The climate in Keonjhar can be tough to deal with, either very hot or very wet, but we just get on with it. It is a hard-working environment, and everyone here knows their role. You won’t find any shiny glass walls, just a lot of iron ore and people who know how to manage it.
