Shams Flour Mills Foundation

Shams Flour Mills Foundation is situated in Ghatarmhask Nagar, zip code 272175. We operate out of Md Yusuf’s place near the Karaula Ghat. Milling flour is our main thing, and we’ve been doing it for quite some time now. The whole place is usually filled with a fine white dust from the wheat we grind. It gets on everything, including our hair and skin. You can hear the hum of the grinders from down the road. It’s a steady, loud noise that we’ve all grown used to over the years. We take in raw grain from the farmers around here and turn it into flour that people use for their daily bread. We don't have any fancy computer systems or automated lines. It’s mostly us checking the grain by hand and making sure the machines are running right. Sometimes the belts on the grinders snap and we have to stop everything to fix them. It can be frustrating, but that’s just part of the job. We don't have a fancy office to sit in. Most of our day is spent standing on the hard floor, moving heavy bags around. Yusuf handles the accounts in a small corner with a simple desk. We aren't a big foundation with lots of money. We are just a local mill trying to serve the community. The air always smells like toasted grain, which is one of the few perks of the job.
