    🏘️ 🛠️ ❓

    Whom should I ask? To no one. Now, if we say we want to make a village a smart village, basic amenities are needed. How can we get basic amenities, sir? Those basic...

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    👨‍🌾 💸 🍚

    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

    👷 💰 🚫

    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

    🌾 💰 🌱

    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

    🚫 🤏 🏘️

    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

    👨‍🌾 💪 🛠️

    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

    🧑‍🌾 🚫 💰

    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

    🍅 💸 🏗️

    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.

    — Srinidhi Gurunath · Mysuru, Mysuru District, 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 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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    ⚠️ 🛠️ ✨

    There are a lot of problems in Pandavapura, especially regarding electricity and water scarcity. And I want to look into solutions. Instead of relying on software, why don't you build something else? When my friends visit this place... Right?

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ 💡 🏗️

    What kind of development do you want from us, tell us for the village and for us, for the village for the village?

    — Darshan S.K · Ingalaguppe, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ 🏭 🤝

    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

    🌾 🏙️ ❓

    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

    🧑‍🌾 🌱 🤝

    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

    🧑‍🌾 📚 ✨

    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

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🚧 ✊

    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

    👷 💸 😔

    Are you doing well? We are going for some work. Beyond that, we are leaving having gained nothing. What have we gotten? Why is there no development? What have the villagers done for us? We went for wages, but we were not paid.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🧒 🏗️ ✨

    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.

    — Darshan S.K

    🌾 🚧 🚚

    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

    🗣️ 🏢 🚫

    We have repeatedly requested for a revenue office in our village. But they haven't taken any action. If we get a revenue office, it would be a bit convenient for us. -Lokesh.

    — rakshitha raju · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka

    ♻️ 🤝 💸

    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

    💸 🌱 😔

    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...

    — Preetham P U

    🏠 🚧 😡

    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

    📝 🚫 ❓

    There is nothing there. Despite the grant being written, the people didn't provide anything for the cattle shed. What is the benefit of whatever facility is there? It's useless, no matter which MLA provides it. They had done it for us in Halebeedu village.

    — Manjunatha G B

    🏗️ 🚫 🙏

    I am speaking from Ennolle Kuppali. The entire village is being developed, but they are not doing it in front of our house. When asked why it's not being done, they say it hasn't been sanctioned here. Mr. Darshan Putani, please come for the groundbreaking ceremony.

    — Meenaa Shankar · Ennehole Koppalu, Mandya, Karnataka

    💰 🚫 🏠

    There are enough grants coming to the panchayat, but they are not being implemented. Many poor people have not received houses. It's surprising. So many people are in sheds, in temporary shelters, many near their land.

    — Darshan S.K

    🚧 🏗️ ✨

    Our road should be developed, then the school, and then the hospital here. All of this needs to be developed. Some roads are not done. The power lines have all fallen down, so all that needs to be cleaned up and fixed.

    — Likith Dip

    🚶‍♀️ 🛣️ 🏢

    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

    👨‍🌾 💻 💔

    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

    👩 💡 🏠

    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

    🧑‍🤝‍🧑 📉 🌱

    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

    🏘️ 🛣️ 🏛️

    From Circle to Hedral, a road should be built from Circle to Agnanalli. After that, what our village needs for all its hamlets is a Nadu Kacheri (revenue office), that's one important work that needs to be done. There was the main road and the Nadu Kacheri.

    — rakshitha raju · Aralakuppe, 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

    👨‍🌾 🔇 🙏

    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.

    — Pramodh k s

    🏘️ 🗑️ ✨

    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

    🚧 🚑 🛠️

    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

    🚧 🚫 ❓

    Tell me, our problems are that the streets are not straight, and the drains are not made. What will the current MLA do for us? First, our village members are not good. They don't bring any grants to our village. How do these people vote in the assembly elections for this constituency?
