Shri Ganapati Rice & General Mills

Shri Ganapati Rice & General Mills is right on Malerkotla Road. If you drive down that road often, you have probably passed us many times without thinking much about it. We are just a regular rice and general mill. We don't have any fancy decorations or a big front office. Most of our space is taken up by the milling equipment and the storage areas for the grain. It gets very busy during the peak seasons, and you’ll see bags of rice stacked up almost to the ceiling. Malerkotla Road is a main thoroughfare, so there is always a bit of a roar from the trucks passing by outside. Sometimes the dust from the mill mixes with the dust from the road, and everything gets a bit grey. We just keep the doors open and keep working through it. We’ve been running this mill for quite a while. It’s not always easy, especially when the machinery gets old and needs constant attention, but we make it work. We aren't looking to be the biggest mill around, just to do a decent job for the farmers who bring their stuff to us. We know most of the regulars by name and they know us. It’s a simple arrangement. We work, they bring the grain, and the days go by. That is just how it is for us on Malerkotla Road.
