The building was four times bigger than actual need to make it look like a very big manufacturing company in this remote god forsaken place on the main state highway 7 KM from a road side town 70 KM from a city in the state well known in Western India.
There was no entrance to the mill as farmers refused to give their land to the mills unless they were compensated as per their demand.
There was a small entrance at the far end of the mill on a land which was perhaps a gov't land kept for any need to widen the road which was the road going to the village from the main road.
There was sufficient place for present and future needs but the expenditure on building was a big hole in the plan or to say frankly waste of financial resource made available by the bank to the mill as per project report made which was approved by the bank' authorities.
There was no compound or gate to the huge area surrounding the mill. All sides were open to any visitor or any stranger who could enter the mill from all sides up to a gate which was the entrance to the mill's wide 100 ft road which I had made earlier.
The back of the mill building was having not even a barbed wire fencing. At one side was a open man made water tank that looked like a well but not a well but a tank to which water was pumped from a river to a private farm and from that private farm land water was again sent to this tank at the mills. A bore well would have been sufficient but this was done for some other purpose which would help mill for value added yarn manufacture which I had thought of in my earlier stint at the mill.
At the other end was a huge go down for stacking the mills goods but was not required as the production of 15 day's could be kept in the dept open space and dispatched on the 16th day to the market at the yarn whole seller's go-down as per my earlier plan and earlier I had set up silk reeling which was shut by me and now unused and fully shut and locked.
The Chairman's Office which I had made was in ruins without any maintenance.
All the departments inside the mill was dirty, not even swept properly and the machines were running here and there with a gap of some machines stopped here and there for want of proper planning or for being excess or for spares.I had to start work everywhere including production planning and product diversification.
