Farming & Rural Support

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

— Smriti Tiwari

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.

KS Nandini Jayaram, KR Pete, Chikmagalur village. How can we make our villages smarter? Meaning, whatever we grow, we can pack it right there.

— Smriti Tiwari · Pandavapura, 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

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

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

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

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

I am speaking from here, from Peru. I am interested in finding out if the fruits and vegetables here are grown using organic farming or chemical farming. The fruits are very good and very fresh. But I don't know what kind of farming they are doing.

— Srinivas Mangipudi · Orrantia, Lince, Lima Metropolitana

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 a population of seven people. There were 20 people then. They were producing enough food for 20 people. The population increased. The government could not maintain it. They could not maintain it. The land is the same. The land is decreasing. So many factories are coming up. Then so much is happening.

— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

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 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.

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.

Sir, I am Marasamma Gowda, son of Gooli Kethegowda. We are from Halebeedu, sir. Two acres of land were already sanctioned to us during Alagegowda's time in the application. They have given us everything for cultivation.

— Manjunatha G B · Attiganahalli, 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

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

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

People from Kumbarakoppa, Chincholi Taluk, Mandya district, and Gummanahalli Gram Panchayat have come. We needed advice regarding the death. They were doing this to make organic mushrooms.

— Bhargvi

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.
