Mandi Dabwali Kinnu Seva Kendra Producer Company Limited

Up in Mangiana, at Chet Ram's place, is where we keep things running for Mandi Dabwali Kinnu Seva Kendra Producer Company Limited. Sanwant Khera is the specific spot. We deal with kinnu fruits mostly, as you can probably tell from the name. It’s a big part of life in this region. Chet Ram has been around for a long time and knows the ins and outs of the local area. We don’t have a big corporate sign or anything like that. It’s more of a community thing where people know to come to Mangiana when they need something done with the fruit production. The seva kendra part of the name is important because that’s really what we do, just helping out. We spend a lot of time in the orchards or at the collection points. The paperwork happens at the house when we have a spare moment. It can get pretty dusty and hot during the harvest season. We don't use any fancy language because we’re just regular workers. Most of us grew up around here. We’ve seen the seasons change and the crops go up and down. Mandi Dabwali is a busy place, so having our base in Mangiana gives us a bit of space. We don't have a marketing team or a sales department. It's just us and the growers. We keep the books as best we can. It’s a simple operation but it keeps us busy from morning until late at night.
