We appealed to Nine. When we arrived, we reiterated our request concerning our ration card; there are 240 cards for two villages. We asked for mediation from both villages, as we are caught in the middle of this.

I am Ravi from Sunkathannur. There is no Nada Kacheri (village office) in our village. We have been requesting for a Nada Kacheri for two years, but it has not been done. We request that it be provided.

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 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.

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...

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
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
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
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.

I am unable to include all the information in a single slide. I believe this kind of alcohol will definitely affect our future generations; teenagers are also becoming addicted, which will destroy the future of our village. We were initially people of a dry land and lacked proper facilities. Sir, if you take action, our village development will automatically grow. I kindly request you to take decisive action against him. Even when I tried to complain to the Abkari Ilakke (Excise Department), they only came and put a fine on him, which didn't impact him much. They even gave a certain amount to the Melukote police station. The bar owner from Jakanahalli distributes a lot of alcohol here twice a week to people. Sir, I kindly request you to take action regarding this situation. I believe in you, sir; you will provide justice to me. If you need any further complaint, I am ready to identify myself. My name is LikhithkumarD, and I am from Balighatta. Thank you.
— Kumar
We are running. This is Mandaburam, a village near Adakkur. Our village road and increased water supply are the main needs. Sir, we have a big issue to raise.

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

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
We have come from Vasukkannambadi. We have a government encroachment. There is a population of 2000, but we don't have a playground, madam. Then, there is no playground for the school either, madam. Uh, what about that encroachment?
— Bhargvi
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
Even though Mannat is an MLA, he doesn't stay quiet. Please visit Kammali Malik Rama Panchayat once. Even after two years as an MLA, he has not visited our Todakuppa Panchayat village even once. Please.
— Santhosh Kumar v c · Vadesamudra, 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
For village development, the village's drainage system needs to be cleared repeatedly. There are also road problems. We request you, sir, to get all these issues rectified.

Subject: Request for recognition and development of Hosasayappanahalli village, Dinka Panchayat, Chinakurali Hobli Dear Darshan Sir, I wish to bring to your kind attention a deeply emotional issue of Hosasayappanahalli, a border village between Pandavapura and KR Pete. Historically, people from the old Sayappanahalli lost their homes and lands during the construction of the KRS Dam under the Mysore Wodeyars and were displaced to this new settlement, hence the name “Hosa” Sayappanahalli. Sadly, this village still has no mention in government or panchayat records, leaving residents without an official identity. Being a border village, it also lacks basic development, irrigation, and healthcare facilities. I request your kind intervention to include Hosasayappanahalli in official records and initiate essential development works to improve the lives of its people.
— Santhosh H S · Huyilalu, Belavadi, Mysuru District
Oil prices, pulses, and all household rations should be slightly reduced for us. We are poor people, we must say this.
— Preetham P U

— Ranjan · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
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
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
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.

A request to the Honorable MLA. I, Paramesh, am a resident of Bagalakote village, Melukote. All of us, generally 20 to 25 houses, have been living in this area for 200-250 years and have been paying our taxes to the Gram Panchayat. However, recently, due to the need to register these properties, they are telling us that we are outside the village limits and that we have a survey number. We have also informed you about this matter. We have requested you to help us get these properties registered through the Gram Panchayat. However, till date, you have not taken any action. Therefore, we are once again making a request to you. We are requesting through this that our house properties be registered.

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
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
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
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
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
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
There is no bus facility in Madali village. We have to go for rice for the ration card. To go to Madali, the road is not good. A vehicle cannot go, a scooter cannot go.
— Uma mahadevappa
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
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
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
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.
