Subarnarekha Rice Mill Private Limited

Sibanandapur is the village where we are based, right next to Joydev Ghosh’s property. It is a small place in Paschim Medinipur. Working at this rice mill means having very early mornings. We have this specific plot, number 244, and it has been our main location for a long time now. The job is mostly about moving heavy loads of paddy and making sure the milling process does not stop for no reason. It is a bit of a trip to get out here, but it is nice and quiet until the big engines start running. We do not have a fancy office or a lobby, just the big workspace and a simple place to sit down for a break. Some days are much busier than others, especially right after the harvest comes in. Everyone knows everyone else in this area. We are not trying to be the biggest mill around or anything, just doing what we need to do each day. The humidity can be a real problem sometimes, making the rice stick or just making us all sweat more while we work. We just deal with it as it comes. My cousin helps out with the paperwork and I handle the floor. It is a very simple setup. We have had these same machines for quite a few years and they work well enough if you take care of them. You won’t find us on the internet, we just talk to locals and the farmers who bring their crops.
