Binani Cement Ltd

Down here in the engineering section at Binanigram, things are a bit different. I’m one of the civil engineers for Binani Cement Ltd, so my day is mostly spent looking at structures and making sure everything stays standing. We’re located in Pindwara, in the Sirohi district, and it’s a pretty rugged landscape to work in. You’ll usually find us out on the site rather than sitting behind a desk. The sun can be brutal in Rajasthan, but you just wear a hat and keep moving. We deal with a lot of concrete, as you’d expect, and there’s always something that needs fixing or checking. It’s not a glamorous job. You end the day with dust in your hair and dirt on your boots, but there’s a sense of satisfaction in seeing things get built properly. We don’t use a lot of big words or talk about innovation much. We just talk about what works and what doesn't. The crew is a good bunch of people who know how to work hard. We have our lunch together under whatever shade we can find, usually talking about home or the local news. It’s a real, honest way to make a living. We aren't here to impress anyone with fancy titles or polished reports. We just want to make sure the plant runs well and everything is safe for the workers who come here every single day. It’s a hard job, but it’s ours.
