The oil mill employs 45
people directly in Pabal
and perhaps many more indirectly
(transportation etc.); in
fact a hostel is provided
for the workers to stay
in. The optimisation of
the oil mill would increase
the profit that the oil
mill would collect and hence
increase property in the
area. The oil mill could
as a result grow and process
other oils full time, providing
more jobs in Pabal and increasing
the money coming into Pabal.
The owner is also a leading
member of the Jain community,
which has been very generous
in developing Pabal as a
whole. Therefore increasing
his wealth would help everyone
in the local community.
