    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

    🌾 💰 🌱

    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 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

    💰 🌿 💸

    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

    🤒 💪 💰

    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.

    💸 🌱 😔

    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...

    ☀️ 🌱 😌

    You have no rain, what kind of drought is this? What fertilizer can be used? What will be sown? Yes, relax.

    — Likith Dip · Bevukallu, 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

    👷 📜 🙏

    I am a contractor. There is no approval from the Bakari Gram Panchayat either. I am requesting you to please help me get some approval. I have been working for about five years, as a panchayat assistant, please help me get some approval.

    — Manjunatha G B · Kurubara Bettahalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🍅 💸 🏗️

    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

    📉 💸 💀

    This is strong, isn't it? Yes, this is strong. Alas! Okay, sir, now the fluctuations in my income are decreasing day by day. Then death becomes my direction. My only... what is it... day by day they...

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🧑‍🌾 🚫 💰

    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

    🍚 🚫 👩‍🌾

    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

    🧑‍🌾 🌱 🤝

    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

    👨‍🌾 💪 🛠️

    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

    🌾 🚧 🚚

    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

    🏘️ 🛠️ ❓

    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

    🤯 💼 🌾

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🚧 ✊

    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

    🧑‍🤝‍🧑 📉 🌱

    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

    🌾 🏙️ ❓

    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

    🌱 ❓ 🤷‍♀️

    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

    👩 💡 🏠

    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

    💸 ❓ 🤷

    That's the only job, putting it on, putting it on, what happens? It's going away. Oh, where, where should I inquire? I don't know. Go to the Social Welfare Department and bring it. We don't know where or what.

    — Darshan S.K · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏛️ 🚫 💪

    What has this government given you? Nothing from this government. From Modi's side, only a gas connection named Bhagya Jyothi came, that's all. They haven't done anything else for us, not even for the village's development. What else can we do? We just do labor work and survive.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🚧 📉 💰

    Hello everyone, I am Sunasi Murthy from Sunkatondoor. The road construction work in our village has been somewhat reduced, so I am requesting that it be compensated for. Also, the sanitation of our village and the village itself...

    — 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.

    — Manjunatha G B

    🏚️ 💰 🆘

    Sir, it's not repaired, please get it repaired. Also, we need to be given the title deed and all that. And Sir, our house is an old, tile-roofed house, it's about to collapse/fall apart. We don't have a grant, please help us get one.

    — 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

    🪦 🚫 🙏

    Yes, tell me. Maranahalli village does not have a graveyard. The government has not released a graveyard for us. Please, the poor are facing a lot of trouble. Identify a graveyard there.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, 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.

    ♻️ 🤝 💸

    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

    🏫 🏗️ 😔

    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.

    — Likith Dip

    🏞️ 🛠️ 💧

    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

    ❓ 🚧 🧐

    If it is necessary, what kind of problem is this?

    — 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

    🏠 🚧 😡

    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

    🌱 🏪 💰

    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.
