#8 - The Factory

Hi~

I also wanted to inform all of you that I was able to tour the factory where the medicines were being produced as well!

The factory was called Padhartha Food Bank. Padharta translates to substance, so this would be a place where foods substances are created.

The factory is over 200 acres big, and is also the biggest one in the world at the moment. Whle I was receiving the tour, the guide informed me that Barack Obama's father has eve visited this food park to gain inspiration and construct one in Kenya!

There are currently plans to build another one of these, which will occupy over 600 acres of land, in a different part of India.

To give you an idea of how big it is, here is a picture.



At the food park, they manufacture a variety of items ranging form medicine to cosmetic products to juices. The beneficial thing is that the packaging is 100% natural as well so that there are no toxins being ingested.

Also, since the factory is set in the country side there are a lot of village sin the area. In an effort to educe the unemployment rate in the surrounding area, the factory provides free transportation to and from the factory as well as a meal during the working hours so that villagers will not have a problem commuting. Currently they have employed over 10,000 workers. 

Until next time,
Aashi Verma
