Sri Dhanalakshmi Hitech Rice Industries

Our rice mill is located at Sf No:48/2A in Poosaripatti. We are right on the Dharmapuri Main Road in Omalur. It’s a big space because we need the room for the machinery and the bags of grain. Sri Dhanalakshmi Hitech Rice Industries has been part of this area for quite a while. The sound of the machines is something you just get used to. It’s loud and it can get quite dusty inside when we are processing the paddy. We work with the local farmers around Omalur and the surrounding areas. They bring in their harvest and we do the rest. It’s hard work and the days are long, especially during the harvest season. I spend a lot of time on the floor checking the quality of the rice. My clothes usually end up covered in white dust by noon. We don't have a fancy office or anything like that. Just a small desk in the corner where we keep the books. The building is a bit old, but the machines are what matters. We try to keep everything running smooth, though sometimes something breaks and we have to fix it ourselves. It’s a practical business. We aren't trying to be fancy. We just want to get the job done so the rice can get out to the shops. It’s a vital part of life here, and we are glad to be doing it. That’s our daily life here.
