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
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
If health is like this, then from here it will be more or less 15 or 10. Now, if we go to places like Pandavapura, the last border, the last border, if they have a hospital there, it would be convenient now. Otherwise, they have to go to Shivali from here, they have to go to Pandava.
— Manjunatha G B
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
We had a small health center, a primary health center. We request that a 100-bed maternity hospital be sanctioned.
— Ranjan
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
The system and its health system are both lacking in Mandya. Otherwise, everything is generally fine. People are doing well in their own homes. Everyone has the capacity and financial means in their homes. However, when health problems arise, they require assistance for those health problems.
— Uma mahadevappa · Doddabyadarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
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
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.
— Darshan S.K · Bevukallu, Mandya, Karnataka
We just want an ambulance facility in our village. It will not remain empty, it will be used.
— Likith Dip
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
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
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
What happened? Speak up, tell us. No, speak, they will leave. Speak, let it be. There's no hospital here. We need to go to Pandavapura, Mysore, Bangalore. Yes, speak like that, just keep speaking. That's all, just that.
— Ranjan
They will get it. We will be a little bit like this about their health. We will be on a safe side. We will have courage whatever happens. We can be in any good hospitals. What is available here, if we go to Care Hospital here, if we bring them to Care Hospital, they cannot just take pills and tablets, what can they do with their hands
— Bhargvi
Our village has a population of 10,000 people, and there are 7,000 voters. Please, we need a Naad Kacheri (revenue office); we have to go 15 kilometers to Chimpuli. Please, we need it. Aralukuppe village.
— Ranjan · Aralakuppe, 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
Revanṇa, who went with fear, Revanṇa, who went with fear. Our village needs a drama office/theater. It is far (currently), it will be convenient for everyone. We need a drama office/theater. And for us, we need the Cauvery water system.
— Darshan S.K · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka
There is no headquarters in our Sunkatanur area. Because if we need to give an injection, we have to go to the anganwadi and do it there. Also, we ASHA workers cannot sit together in one place and do our departmental work.
— Manjunatha G B · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
Say something. I only talk. My name is Manju from Shungathannooru. Our village needs both a drama company and a hospital. That is the biggest problem here.
— rakshitha raju
When returning from there, we turn back towards Salanakana. From there, there is no hospital. If there were a hospital, it wouldn't be in the village at all. There is only one hospital.
— rakshitha raju · Ingalaguppe, Mandya, Karnataka
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
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
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
We need roads. We don't have a road to go down here. We need roads there too, but there are none. Father, we need roads. Also, there is a drinking water facility.
— 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
After that, the doctor system in all hospitals should be proper. All doctors should properly examine our patients who come, and give good treatment. Also, free medicine, clean vaccination medicine, everything.
— Uma mahadevappa
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
It would be very convenient if there was a direct bus service from Kyathnalli to Pandavapura. But Mysore city is on both sides for us. But first of all, we don't even have a bus to our taluk.
— Manjunatha G B
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
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
Our Kiro Thannuru Parasadvayam is a place with many problems, we request you to correct them properly and build a proper stadium. Also, develop schools and colleges.
— rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, 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
Oh, there's a big problem with water here, and they don't clean the drain at the back, so water collects everywhere. Also, we don't have much electricity. Please provide that, that's all.
— Likith Dip · Aralakuppe, 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
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
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.
— Manjunatha G B
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
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
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
