Balaji Rice Mills

Balaji Rice Mills sits right near the main road in Village Matorda Bhadson. It makes it easy for the trucks to pull in without getting lost in the narrow back lanes. We are in the Nabha area, which everyone knows is good for farming. The mill itself is a bit old now. The paint is peeling in some spots on the outside, but the machines inside are what matter. They work hard every single day. We don’t have a fancy website or a marketing team. Most days it’s just us in our work clothes, making sure the rice is coming out clean. It gets very hot in the summer months, especially under the tin roofs, but we stay at it. We see a lot of the same faces every season. Farmers from the nearby villages bring their harvest, we have a chat, drink some water, and get to work. It’s a practical business. We don't promise things we can't do. If the machines break, we fix them ourselves with some tools and a bit of patience. The noise is constant when we are running, but you learn to talk over it. We’ve been at this for years. It’s just what our family does. Sometimes the kids come by after school and help with the smaller tasks in the yard. We’re just a local mill trying to do a fair job for the people around Nabha. We stay open late when we need to. It's not a big corporate operation, just us and a few helpers.
