School children, the buses for children have become more. Now, buses do not stop at KR Pete Hand Post at all. Children miss many days of college to go to KR Pete College. It will be very difficult during exam time.

We have a lot of vehicle problems, children are having a lot of trouble going to school. The vehicle only comes at 9:30 in the morning, which causes a lot of problems. If anything, only one in the afternoon.
— Ranjan
First, the bus is not continuous, and then there is no proper bus stand, and buses don't arrive correctly. There are many such problems.
— Likith Dip · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka
The bus that comes in the morning reaches only in the evening. All the school children are facing problems. Two more buses are needed. Let's provide them, and keep this one too.
— Ranjan · Attiganahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
There is no bus stop in our village. The bus stop is not properly maintained. Please ask them to build a proper bus stop. Also, buses do not stop, no matter which one passes. This causes a lot of trouble for school-going children. All the buses (are like this).
— Likith Dip
That's the problem, children don't stop properly here. The school facility is not good, the bus facility is not good, the surroundings are not clean. Look how it is here, please do something about it.
— Likith Dip
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.
— Uma mahadevappa · Bevukallu, Mandya, Karnataka
Our Lakshmi Sagara village does not have bus facilities. There is no arrangement for children to go to school. Please arrange for that for us. There is a problem for us regarding bus travel, and gas is also very expensive.
— Preetham P U
There is an opportunity for a holiday. Tell me. Anthahalli Basavaraju. The problem in our village is that in this Kalvani street, there are three street lines, and the old line is causing a lot of trouble. Please get that done for us. Because it's old, we are facing a lot of problems with water supply. Please get that done. Also, there is no way for farmers to come after 4 or 5 o'clock for the bus. We need a separate road from Pandupura to Anthahalli. School children need a separate bus, and farmers also need a separate bus.
— Siddu ಅಂತನಹಳ್ಳಿ · Giriyarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Hey, there's a road problem here. College students face a lot of difficulty getting to college due to a severe bus problem. If this is fixed, it would be a great help. If we can get two (of these issues) resolved, that would be enough.
— Likith Dip · Doddabyadarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
After making the bus free, students are facing a lot of trouble commuting to and from their homes. How will the MLA make this convenient for the students? Please consider this.
— Likith Dip
There are major problems with reservation in all sectors, even if they got all the benefits, because of this present generation is getting depressed and finding it difficult to get any education.

The facilities in the hospitals are not good. Our doctors do not respond properly and we don't get timely appointments. Also, they are there two or three times a week and then they are not there for three days. That is why...
— Manjunatha G B
When you go to a hospital, it's not for every minor problem or comfort. Today's hospitals are just full of various issues/hassles. What can I say about what's inside the hospital? For instance, when Puttani's son came and waited for a while, not even one or two doctors who were assigned were present.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
In Anthanalli village, there is a problem with one of the buses. Secondly, there is a problem with the pure drinking water unit for the public.
— Siddu ಅಂತನಹಳ್ಳಿ · Giriyarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
From Navapashumalli village, the number of children in our school is decreasing, so please implement some school development program, and the road is already very much...
— Likith Dip · Chikkade, Mandya, Karnataka
Do it, tell me, there is so much. There is no kitchen in one place, they couldn't even build that. Modi's drains are not clean, they haven't been built yet. The problem is the same on that side too.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Even for a population of 2000, the education system is not proper. Request to appoint teachers first. Request to also make proper arrangements for colleges.
— Likith Dip · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka
Sir, there is a morning bus problem from Pandavapura to KR Pet. In KR Pet, there is an engineering college and a diploma college, but there are no proper buses for this route. From 8:00 to 10:00 AM, there is a bus problem. Please solve this.
— Chandan
Sir, there is a bus problem from Pandavapura to KR Pet in the morning. There is an engineering college and a diploma college in KR Pet, but there are no proper buses on this route. There is a bus problem from 8:00 to 10 am. Please solve this.
— Chandan · Alpahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Yes madam, there are many village children in Pandavapura. Every time they need a bus to Mysore. So if possible, if there is education there, it will be beneficial for the village children and poor children. We would like to ask for that.
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
We will not go for any of this. Are there good facilities in your village's government offices? If there is no hospital available, where will they go now?
— Likith Dip · Hullenahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
We are children of farmers. No matter how much we earn, even if it's crores, people look for IT/BT jobs, outside jobs, good clothes, and good cars. That's why they hesitate to give their daughters to farmers. This issue is not yet resolved.
— Siddappa
There has been no improvement in colleges; no one is enrolling in government colleges. People should join government colleges and improve them. And what are the three health issues?
— Ranjan · Aralakuppe, Mandya, Karnataka
Farmers are not getting the right price and not getting the right information also about the market. There should be clear ways to find these out otherwise very difficult.
— Shram
Oil is not being provided to farmers' children; a little attention should be paid to that.
— Manjunatha G B · Aralakuppe, Mandya, Karnataka
Hey, we are here. Are they taking us away? They should look after us. Build a road for us. We are having trouble on that very road. Give us this land back, and those too.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Hello, greetings to all the madams and sirs. Many of our civic worker's children have gone. Even then, they say they will get jobs, but many people don't get jobs.
— Shram · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Sir, a delivery hospital and an ambulance service should be arranged for Alakuppe village. And the roads are still very damaged; all of them need to be repaired a little.
— Manjunatha G B
Now, we have some of our lands in the T.H. Sidra area. Okay, we have a significant road problem for our land there. This is because, from there, we have to carry things for a minimum distance. Even if we grow any crop, there's no proper road now, nothing at all.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
In our village, people have eaten the society's money, the society is in loss, the dairy is in loss, there is a road problem, and there is a street light problem. No matter how much is done or posted, it's not put up now, one
— rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Madam/Sir, that's why meters haven't been installed. Also, for those roads, normally some necessary work hasn't been done. The pipeline has been laid well. Some (connections) work, some don't. Some taps get damaged repeatedly. Water is not reaching them. They haven't provided for the future.
— Ranjan · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Please ensure proper bus services are arranged in the mornings for school and college students. Also, make sure these arrangements are in place for both morning and evening. Furthermore, girls are facing some issues due to unruly boys, so please make some arrangements to address this.
— Darshan S.K · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka
They are experiencing a problem that stems from Kudandikol (or a specific system/source). Water is not reaching the last point, and this is causing numerous issues. When electricity, especially phased current, is supplied, people turn on their motors. This leads to insufficient water flow at the final level, and also affects the drainage.
— Uma mahadevappa
High schools now need a building. The number of high schools has increased, but space is limited. The existing high schools are not sufficient. A new one needs to be built. What should we do? High school students are practically falling over each other.
— Preetham P U · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Three buses have been deployed on this route from Pandavapura to Pandavapura depot, but not even one of those buses arrives at the correct time. One comes at nine o'clock, another at eight-thirty; they arrive whenever they wish. From Kateli to Pandavapura.
— rakshitha raju · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka
I am not making any noise or anything. The road to Shivashaila, which is the route to go to the side of the parcel, is not correct. The tar has all peeled off. Please get it repaired a bit, sir. It's difficult to walk, and children will face difficulties.
— Likith Dip
Ha hmm, what do you think? If everyone else goes to enjoy themselves, what should happen to the farmers' children? Have the cities become such without farmers? They have grown up here until now, earning lakhs of salaries, and today they say they don't want farmers' children. Okay, you didn't write it, write it down.
— Uma mahadevappa
Jaitha, draw a line for the school. They have given a motor line to the school, it's a private village line, we need to lay it. And then, we need to arrange for a meal for the children. They sit on the floor and eat, all that is a hardship.
— Likith Dip
But in some places, there are no drainage systems and no road systems, and in places where there are road systems and drainage systems, there is no proper cleaning of them. There should be proper cleaning and locals should also be aware of this, this is our program.
