Kalkali Modern Rice Mill Private Limited

Located right in Village Halim Chowk here in Kishanganj. We spend most of our mornings watching the trucks come in from the fields. It gets pretty dusty inside the mill when the machines are running full speed, but that is just how it is. My father used to say that if you aren't covered in a bit of rice husk by noon, you aren't working hard enough. We handle a lot of grain throughout the season. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to sit around and wait for the generator to kick in, which gives us a chance to drink some tea and talk about the weather. People in the village know where we are, right near the Khagra post office. It is not a fancy place by any means. Just a lot of concrete, heavy machinery, and bags stacked up to the ceiling. We keep things moving as fast as we can. The noise is something you get used to after a few weeks. It is constant, a low hum that stays in your ears even after you go home. We just focus on getting the rice processed and out the door so the farmers can get paid. Life in Kishanganj is quiet mostly, except for when the harvest is in. Then we stay late, sometimes until the sun is almost up again. It is tired work but it is what we do here.
