    The Voice Summary

    Nearby, the main topics are centered around significant challenges faced by rural communities, particularly farmers. They express distress over inadequate market prices for their produce, lack of essential farming facilities, difficulties in securing futures for their children in agriculture, and societal issues like farmers' daughters facing marriage hurdles. Beyond agriculture, communities are grappling with severe infrastructure deficiencies 🚧 such as poor road quality, insufficient drainage, unreliable water supply, and frequent electricity outages. There's also a pressing need for improved access to education, healthcare services (hospitals, ambulances), and local job opportunities to curb rural-to-urban migration. Residents report issues with government responsiveness and the absence of basic amenities like proper graveyards and efficient bus services. However, there is a strong collective desire for solutions. Citizens are actively proposing the establishment of local industries and training programs 💡, especially in organic farming and value-added products. They emphasize the importance of educating farmers on modern techniques, improving marketing strategies, and recognizing agriculture as a respected profession. Calls for improved governance include creating direct sales channels for farmers, enhancing communication from officials, and establishing local revenue offices (Nadakacheris) to bring services closer to villages. Many voices advocate for community-led development and a sustained focus on organic farming practices 🌿, despite the acknowledged initial financial challenges.

Also, establish and upgrade local healthcare facilities (hospitals, ambulance services) and improve public transport connectivity.
    • 🏭 👩 🎓Foster rural economic growth by promoting the establishment of small-scale industries, facilitating skill development programs, and supporting local entrepreneurship, especially for women, to create diverse employment opportunities and reduce migration to urban centers.

    We, who are farmers, need to ask for our children to be farmers and educate them as well. For that, we need to raise awareness. For awareness to be created, our representatives or officials need to respond to it.

    — Bhargvi

    👨‍🌾 💪 🛠️

    Basani Basani sir, on behalf of farmers, if 'giving a girl' means 'not giving,' then farmers should have all the necessary facilities, they own land, they are working hard, they are involved in all aspects, and they are getting educated.

    — Manjunatha G B

    👨‍🌾 💸 🍚

    We farmers have to maintain the expenses, we have to try to earn income accordingly, we have to use all these, I am looking at how much is needed here, the farmers will not do all that, the government gives two rice.

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🧑‍🌾 🚫 💰

    Yes, yes, if I have to be a farmer, tell them I won't give permission. First, fix a proper market and price for the farmers and motivate them about the crops, then it will be beneficial for the farmers for the next developments regarding rates.

    — Bhargvi

    🌾 🏙️ ❓

    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.

    🧑‍🌾 🌱 🤝

    We have come from Balli to Pandavapura, sir. Tell me, sir, what should be done for the farmers' families regarding organic farming, and what will you do to help them grow vegetables and provide fertilizers?

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🌾 🧑‍🎓 💔

    I am requesting you to speak in the legislative assembly regarding the necessity for farmers' children to first understand agriculture, and also concerning the issue where the daughters of farmer friends are not getting married.

    — Ranjan

    🧑‍🌾 💡 💼

    In agriculture, what we mean is that new methods should be introduced, and young people in the village should get this work. What work is available for farmers' children, mostly?

    — Likith Dip · Machahalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🧑‍🌾 📚 ✨

    No, have you arrived, sir? We saw someone here in Pandavapura and they sent us to Pandavapura. Ha. Farmer. First of all, the government should first give us education, quality education, meaning, everyone should be given quality education. Farmer, farmer, farmer.

    — Bhargvi

    🧒 🚜 💡

    That's why children must do farming now. If they do, then my opinion is that farming should be done, farming should not be neglected. That is, new people should work, new methods should be used.

    — Likith Dip

    🧑‍🤝‍🧑 📉 🌱

    Hi, we are reporting a lack of jobs and training here in our constituency. We would like agriculture, organic farming, training in our constituency.

    — Srinivas Mangipudi · Arpora, Baga, North Goa

    👨‍🌾 💻 💔

    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

    👨‍🌾 🔇 🙏

    Sir, in our Melukote assembly constituency, in the Gram Panchayat ward and Taluk Panchayat ward, officials are not responding properly to farmers. Please rectify it properly.

    A request to the honorable MLA to help farmers in the Nelakote constituency by building a sales outlet nearby for them to sell their grown crops and providing a support price.

    — Uma mahadevappa · Damadahalli, 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

    🌾 💰 🌱

    Tell me, sir, what kind of help? What help did we not get? What kind of help is needed? Now, if we want to grow crops, if we want to grow vegetables, we need money. We need fertilizer. Then the entire land needs to be leveled.

    — Bhargvi

    🌾 📉 📊

    Many people are reporting problems with farming. We are trying to scale them, analyze all the feedback and determine the overall sentiment.

    — beardcoded · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🌱 🐄 🤲

    We should give more priority to organic farming. We should stop using chemical fertilizers and give more importance to organic farming and save our native cows.

    In the PACS workshop related to circular economy, Sunkathonnur PACS president talked about the interest in exploring the value chain of tomatoes since farmers have lost a lot of money on tomatoes this season. Khova is something that can be explored through SHGs. To build these out, there is a need for cold storage, Godown and also Solarisations. However the PACS also needs lands where these can be carried out.

    After that, everyone gets involved in occupational matters. And until they get involved in the occupation, there is a problem. If all garments are taken, then (it's a) dog, because who are the weeders, who are they? And now, government writes about government crops.

    — Likith Dip

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🍚 🚫 👩‍🌾

    If there are only men in the field, where will the food come from? There won't even be rice available later. Therefore, women also need to work patiently here.

    — Darshan S.K · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka

    Oil is not being provided to farmers' children; a little attention should be paid to that.

    In the PACS workshop related to circular economy , A farmer leader from Jhakannalli talked about building out a godown for farmers to enable to connect them to Nagamangala for better trading opportunities. A PACS also talked about building a pertrol bunk. Someone also talked about how some measures are looked at from the lens of increasing the profits of the PACS and not necessarily circular economy

    — Srinidhi Gurunath

    🧑‍🌾 🗣️ 🗳️

    They say, Govind Gowda from Kyathanahalli village, Pandavapura taluk. We are with a farmer, a farmer activist, and we are also involved in a little political activity, small political activity. So, sir, that's how it happened.

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    👨‍🌾 🤝 💰

    What we need is a system to sell the farmers' produce in a planned manner. There should be no middlemen. It should be profitable for them, agriculture profitable

    — Smriti Tiwari · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    💸 🌱 😔

    The food prices are too high, what's the point of spending 3000-4000? Nothing grows. All the poor people are putting it in, or not putting it in. What can we do? We all work as laborers. If they do it or not, what can we do? After putting it in...

    Migration from villages to cities should be minimized and agriculture should be prioritized. What is the benefit of migrating to rural areas?

    — Smriti Tiwari

    This message is by DP. I would like to organize the farmers and meet them every week to give them information and educate them with the farming methods and how they can make more money by making byproducts.

    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

    🌱 ❓ 🤷‍♀️

    You are not receiving government benefits, are you? You are practicing organic farming, aren't you? You are doing just that. Can't you cultivate it normally and naturally? Do you have any information about this? Okay, I don't know anything.

    — Darshan S.K

    🏞️ 🛠️ 💧

    Please desilt the LBL canal a bit. That's why we are asking, as a lot of farmers are facing problems. If the LBL canal is desilted, we won't have water problems. Please fix it and select one more.

    — Likith Dip · Haravu, 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.

    🍺 🧑‍🎓 ⚖️

    I am unable to include all the information in a single slide. I believe this kind of alcohol will definitely affect our future generations; teenagers are also becoming addicted, which will destroy the future of our village. We were initially people of a dry land and lacked proper facilities. Sir, if you take action, our village development will automatically grow. I kindly request you to take decisive action against him. Even when I tried to complain to the Abkari Ilakke (Excise Department), they only came and put a fine on him, which didn't impact him much. They even gave a certain amount to the Melukote police station. The bar owner from Jakanahalli distributes a lot of alcohol here twice a week to people. Sir, I kindly request you to take action regarding this situation. I believe in you, sir; you will provide justice to me. If you need any further complaint, I am ready to identify myself. My name is LikhithkumarD, and I am from Balighatta. Thank you.
