K. V Rice Mills

K. V Rice Mills is located on Malerkotla Road in Dulladi, Nabha. We are right near the Chakravarti Chilex Station, so most people in the area know exactly where we are. It’s a decent-sized mill and we’ve been here for quite some time now. The daily routine doesn't change much. We start the generators if the power is out and get the conveyors moving. It’s a lot of mechanical noise and the constant movement of grain. We don't have any fancy corporate offices. My desk is just a piece of plywood on some metal legs in a corner of the warehouse. We spend our days checking the moisture in the rice and making sure the bags are sewn shut properly. It’s the kind of work that makes your back ache by the end of the day, but we are used to it. The workers here are mostly locals from Dulladi. We don't do any big advertising. Word of mouth is how most people find us. Sometimes we have to wait for the trucks to arrive and we just sit outside in the shade of the building. We talk about the weather or the crops. It’s a very grounded way to spend your time. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to do a good job with the grain we get. The equipment is old but reliable, much like the people who run it.
