“In Dudda village, there were many basic problems. After the MLA provided government service programs for house rent, now there is a bus stand. The drinking water problem was there, it's clear now. We are successfully doing about Panchayat programs.”
“ದುದ್ದಾ ಗ್ರಾಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಮೂಲಭೂತ ತೊಂದರೆಗಳಿತ್ತು. ಮನೆ ಬಾಳಿಗೆ ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಸೇವೆಗಳ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮ ಅವರು ಎಂಎಲ್ಎ ಅವರು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಟ್ಟ ಮೇಲೆ ಈಗ ಬಸ್ ಸ್ಟ್ಯಾಂಡ್ ಆಗಿದೆ. ಕುಡಿಯೋ ನೀರ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ ಇತ್ತು ಕ್ಲಿಯರ್ ಆಗಿದೆ. ಆ ಸುಮಾರು ಪಂಚಾಯಿತಿ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾಗಿ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದೀವಿ.”

Nearby, the main topics are a mix of pressing concerns and notable improvements 💡. Residents report significant issues with local infrastructure, including broken roads, closed drains, and a lack of street lighting in some areas. Access to adequate healthcare access is another major problem, with people often needing to travel to Mandya due to poor local facilities and insufficient public transport options 🚌. Agricultural concerns related to drought and incomplete public works projects also surface. However, there are also positive developments and strong aspirations. In some villages, basic problems like drinking water scarcity have been resolved 💧, and successful Panchayat programs are underway. There is a clear desire for economic development, with strong calls for establishing garment factories and IT companies to create local employment and foster overall progress.
“What to say, there isn't a single light in this temple, all the drains are now closed, the roads are all broken from there. What else to say, all the roads are like this, the road to the next village is completely closed.”
“Wealthy individuals/investors leave by 7:00 AM. Instead, if a factory were established here, it would benefit them as well. That approach would help people. There should be many garment factories; at least one such garment factory should exist.”
“There's no specialty here. If you go to the hospital, they'll tell you it's not good there and to go to Mandya. You have to travel to Mandya, but there aren't proper buses. There are all these kinds of problems.”
“They say don't go to Shivalli in the health system, go to Mandya. The health department people are not looking at Mandya like Shivalli. Here, if we are not feeling well, we show ourselves privately because there are no private facilities here and no government facilities.”
“There is nothing. All such facilities are available. There is nothing like that. Good people, if you observe, each person in the village is unique. What else can be said beyond that? That's it.”
“Let's talk. What shall we say to you? Tell us what you lack. We don't have any shortcomings, actually. If there's something about a shortcoming, will you tell us? Tell us what you think about the Narasimha Kshetra. One minute.”
“You have to work, but if you're in the city, you can have a luxurious life, there won't be any mistakes, you have to be inside, they have learned all that little by little, they have learned to show off, they have to go to work in front of the computer.”
“You have no rain, what kind of drought is this? What fertilizer can be used? What will be sown? Yes, relax.”
“The work is neat. They were also doing the ground and our work and then what was in the middle of the concrete road from the road, they were doing everything themselves, they left one by one, they didn't do it. I have half a year”
“Okay, what we expect is for an IT company, a software company, to come to Pandavapura taluk. Sir, there is no lie, no mistake. Everything developed, the country itself developed, okay.”
