Farming Futures

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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 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 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

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

— Manjunatha G B · Aralakuppe, 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

If women who don't have land simply rely on their husbands, saying 'my husband, my husband,' then where will the food come from if there is no land? Going forward, even an elder brother's support will not be available. Therefore, women here must act patiently.

— Darshan S.K · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka

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...

I need two lakhs (200,000 rupees). If I get those two lakhs, I have one acre of land where I can harvest 60 tons of sugarcane. From that, the income will be 30,000. If we cultivate organically, the income will be only 3,000. [The last part is unclear and seems like an incomplete sentence. It could mean something like "What's the use/benefit for me?"]

— 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
