    The Voice Summary

    In your area, citizens are vocal about persistent challenges related to economic opportunity and basic amenities 💡. Key problems include a significant lack of local jobs, necessitating migration to cities, and a dire need for industrial development, particularly garment and small-scale industries. Farmers express deep concerns about low crop prices, lack of market access, and insufficient support for modern and organic farming methods. Critical infrastructure, such as road quality, proper drainage systems, reliable water supply, and functional street lighting, is consistently reported as inadequate or entirely absent 🛣️. Furthermore, there are pleas for better access to essential public facilities like hospitals, schools, colleges, and local revenue offices. Addressing these issues, residents are proactively suggesting solutions, including establishing new factories and skill development centers (computer, tailoring) to create employment, building agricultural infrastructure like cold storage and sales outlets, and improving governance responsiveness to farmer needs. There's a strong desire for community-led development initiatives and support for women's self-employment opportunities 💧.

    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

    👨‍🌾 💪 🛠️

    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

    🧑‍🎓 🏃‍♀️ 🏠

    Many educated young men and women from our town go to various capital cities. It is our request that we establish as many skilled and small-scale industries as possible here.

    🍅 💸 🏗️

    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.

    There is no factory in our village. We cannot do wage labor. Therefore, if the government establishes a factory, perhaps a garments factory or something, such a factory would help the ladies, it would help all of us. Any.

    — Darshan S.K · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka

    🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🏭 🏡

    A request to establish small industrial areas in various places within the Melkote assembly constituency for the people, to prevent young men and women from migrating to Bangalore.

    — Siddappa

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🧑‍🌾 📚 🏛️

    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

    🌾 🏙️ ❓

    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

    👩 💡 🏠

    Hello sir, we have come from Lakshmi Sagar. We are housewives and want to do something. If we want to do something from home, you have to support us, or if we need something, you have to give us an idea. We will do anything, but it has to be from home.

    — Bhargvi

    👷 💰 🚫

    We have been working until now. They told us, 'We are SC voters, SC community members, let's work, do the work, and we will arrange for a low grant.' But after that, if they just form a society, we will have no support. If there's work, there's an opportunity; otherwise, there isn't. What's the benefit for us in inquiring further about this? This is about government work.

    — rakshitha raju

    🧑‍🌾 🚫 💰

    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

    🧑‍🌾 📚 ✨

    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

    🧒 🏗️ ✨

    There are no industries in our village, so please open and develop them. It would be good if you do that, sir. All the children are waiting here.

    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

    👨‍🌾 💻 💔

    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

    🌾 🧑‍🎓 💔

    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

    🍚 🚫 👩‍🌾

    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

    🧑‍🌾 💡 💼

    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

    🧑‍🌾 💡 📈

    Dear Legislators, Please guide our villagers on what kind of businesses they can establish with the resources they have and how to market them.

    — Vinay E S · Pandavapura, 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

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🚧 ✊

    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

    🌱 🏪 💰

    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

    🚫 🤏 🏘️

    We say we won't give anything to those who say no. So they say they can't give everything. But even then, within our Panchayat limits or within our local Melkote area, what should happen is that...

    — Manjunatha G B · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka

    👨‍🌾 🔇 🙏

    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.

    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

    🏫 🧑‍🏫 🎓

    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

    🏗️ 👕 🤝

    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.

    — Uma mahadevappa · Bevukallu, 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

    🌱 📜 🛍️

    Bindalli PACS CEO in In the PACS workshop related to circular economy, expressed the need to have a BRC to change to organic, since the Pandavapura taluk has been declared organic. There is a need to setup a purchasing kendra as well.

    — Srinidhi Gurunath · Mysuru, Mysuru District, Karnataka

    💪 ⏳ 😔

    We are waiting for them to act in the future. Let's see when it will happen. We have taken this initiative, worked hard, and conducted business with the hope of some development today. They should have considered that.

    — Manjunatha G B

    🚶‍♀️ 🛣️ 🏢

    In Sonkatthur village, we now have to go 15 or 12 kilometers from here to Pandavapura for the hospital. So, if a hospital is opened here, it will be closer. Secondly, we need a Nadakacheri (revenue office) for our village.

    — Manjunatha G B · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka

    🤒 💪 💰

    You weren't feeling well, were you? The boys are here to do labor. Now, this is all there is. Everyone has to go for daily wages. If even one packet is made, it would be helpful.

    — Ranjan

    🧑‍🌾 🌱 🤝

    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

    🏘️ 🗑️ ✨

    Sir/Madam, we are from Melkote. Our Paramesh Gowda has made a lot of efforts for the development of Melkote in the past. Even now, Melkote lacks cleanliness and the tourists who come here don't have facilities. Neatness is also our aim.

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ 🏗️ 🏥

    A center, a hospital for us, should come to our village. That is what is important now because it is 12 kilometers away for us. Mandya is also far. Therefore, for us here

    — Manjunatha G B

    🌾 💰 🌱

    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

    🌾 🚧 🚚

    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

    🏫 🏗️ 😔

    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.
