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.

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

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.
— Pramodh k s
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
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
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.

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
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.

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.

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 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
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
What we need is a system to sell the farmers' produce in a planned manner. There should be no middlemen. It should be profitable for them, agriculture profitable

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
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
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
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
School children, the buses for children have become more. Now, buses do not stop at KR Pete Hand Post at all. Children miss many days of college to go to KR Pete College. It will be very difficult during exam time.
— rakshitha raju · Aralakuppe, Mandya, Karnataka
In our village, people have eaten the society's money, the society is in loss, the dairy is in loss, there is a road problem, and there is a street light problem. No matter how much is done or posted, it's not put up now, one

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
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.

Oil prices, pulses, and all household rations should be slightly reduced for us. We are poor people, we must say this.
— Preetham P U
They are experiencing a problem that stems from Kudandikol (or a specific system/source). Water is not reaching the last point, and this is causing numerous issues. When electricity, especially phased current, is supplied, people turn on their motors. This leads to insufficient water flow at the final level, and also affects the drainage.
— Uma mahadevappa
There are major problems with reservation in all sectors, even if they got all the benefits, because of this present generation is getting depressed and finding it difficult to get any education.

Madam/Sir, that's why meters haven't been installed. Also, for those roads, normally some necessary work hasn't been done. The pipeline has been laid well. Some (connections) work, some don't. Some taps get damaged repeatedly. Water is not reaching them. They haven't provided for the future.
— Ranjan · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka
We have a lot of vehicle problems, children are having a lot of trouble going to school. The vehicle only comes at 9:30 in the morning, which causes a lot of problems. If anything, only one in the afternoon.
— Ranjan
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
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
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
People in the fourth ward of Kennalu village are facing many problems. The government should pay attention to this.

There is no bus stop in our village. The bus stop is not properly maintained. Please ask them to build a proper bus stop. Also, buses do not stop, no matter which one passes. This causes a lot of trouble for school-going children. All the buses (are like this).
— Likith Dip
Adulteration is rampant in natural farming everywhere. The demand for original natural products is decreasing significantly. I request you to first control adulterated natural products.
— Smriti Tiwari · Pandavapura, 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
Many people are reporting problems with farming. We are trying to scale them, analyze all the feedback and determine the overall sentiment.

Sir, Pandavapura taluk, Odrahalli village, the mobile network is not available at all, sir. Because of the lack of network, children are unable to study online classes or access any network.
— chandan V K · Srirangapatna, 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
That's the problem, children don't stop properly here. The school facility is not good, the bus facility is not good, the surroundings are not clean. Look how it is here, please do something about it.
— Likith Dip
There are enough grants coming to the panchayat, but they are not being implemented. Many poor people have not received houses. It's surprising. So many people are in sheds, in temporary shelters, many near their land.
