Gorkshanath Ginning And Pressing Private Limited

If you head out to Dekhanmoha, which is a bit of a drive in the Beed district, you’ll find us at Mandakinibai Honrao’s place in Viveksagar. Gorkshanath Ginning And Pressing Private Limited is basically what it sounds like. We deal with the cotton that comes in from the fields nearby. It gets pretty loud once the machines are running and the air gets filled with those little bits of white fluff that stick to everything, including your hair and clothes. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a while now. Dekhanmoha isn’t a huge place, so everyone knows where the Honrao family stays. It’s not a polished operation with a reception desk or anything. You just walk in, find someone who isn't too busy, and start talking. Dealing with ginning and pressing means our hands are usually dirty and we’re always checking the weather. Beed can be a really dry area, so when the cotton is good, everyone is happy, and when it isn't, things get quiet. We just keep the gears turning and make sure the bales are packed right. It’s physical work, and at the end of the day, we’re mostly just tired and looking for a good meal. There’s no big secret to it, just keeping the equipment maintained and staying on top of the piles of cotton arriving at our gates. It is just the way we have always done things out here.
