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
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
If health is like this, then from here it will be more or less 15 or 10. Now, if we go to places like Pandavapura, the last border, the last border, if they have a hospital there, it would be convenient now. Otherwise, they have to go to Shivali from here, they have to go to Pandava.
— Manjunatha G B
There's no specialty here. If you go to the hospital, they'll tell you it's not good there and to go to Mandya. You have to travel to Mandya, but there aren't proper buses. There are all these kinds of problems.
— Uma mahadevappa · Bevukallu, 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
It would be very convenient if there was a direct bus service from Kyathnalli to Pandavapura. But Mysore city is on both sides for us. But first of all, we don't even have a bus to our taluk.
— Manjunatha G B
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.
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, 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
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
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.
— Preetham P U
What happened? Speak up, tell us. No, speak, they will leave. Speak, let it be. There's no hospital here. We need to go to Pandavapura, Mysore, Bangalore. Yes, speak like that, just keep speaking. That's all, just that.
— Ranjan
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
Telli and Chaksha need to walk two kilometers from the Telegram point to the circle. From there, we are requesting that a bus be arranged for us to Pandavapura.
— Manjunatha G B
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
There is no headquarters in our Sunkatanur area. Because if we need to give an injection, we have to go to the anganwadi and do it there. Also, we ASHA workers cannot sit together in one place and do our departmental work.
— Manjunatha G B · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
Sir/Madam, we are from Melkote. Our Paramesh Gowda has made a lot of efforts for the development of Melkote in the past. Even now, Melkote lacks cleanliness and the tourists who come here don't have facilities. Neatness is also our aim.
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
The system and its health system are both lacking in Mandya. Otherwise, everything is generally fine. People are doing well in their own homes. Everyone has the capacity and financial means in their homes. However, when health problems arise, they require assistance for those health problems.
— Uma mahadevappa · Doddabyadarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
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
Hey, there's a road problem here. College students face a lot of difficulty getting to college due to a severe bus problem. If this is fixed, it would be a great help. If we can get two (of these issues) resolved, that would be enough.
— Likith Dip · Doddabyadarahalli, 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
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.
— rakshitha raju · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka
They say don't go to Shivalli in the health system, go to Mandya. The health department people are not looking at Mandya like Shivalli. Here, if we are not feeling well, we show ourselves privately because there are no private facilities here and no government facilities.
— Darshan S.K · Bevukallu, Mandya, Karnataka
We will not go for any of this. Are there good facilities in your village's government offices? If there is no hospital available, where will they go now?
— Likith Dip · Hullenahalli, 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 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
We need roads. We don't have a road to go down here. We need roads there too, but there are none. Father, we need roads. Also, there is a drinking water facility.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
A request to establish small industrial areas in various places within the Melkote assembly constituency for the people, to prevent young men and women from migrating to Bangalore.
— Siddappa
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
Mangala won't become a singer. They say we'll visit everywhere, Bangalore, Mysore quickly. Is it possible to convince them? It should occur to them. Yes, if they have the desire to suppress our elders and youngsters, it should come from within their minds.
— Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
Okay, tell me. For children to travel back and forth, please provide a bus stand for us on this side as well. This is our only request from the Melkote Assembly constituency. What's your name? Umalakshmi. Yes, tell me. Okay, that's it.
— Darshan S.K · Haravu, 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
Our Pandu, our Pandupura needs to improve further. For that, we are asking for good engineering degree colleges to come up. Because the taluk has developed, if it improves further, it'll be even better. The main circle is here. However you go to Pandupura, the main circle is here.
— Bhargvi
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
The bus that comes in the morning reaches only in the evening. All the school children are facing problems. Two more buses are needed. Let's provide them, and keep this one too.
— Ranjan · Attiganahalli, 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
Our road should be developed, then the school, and then the hospital here. All of this needs to be developed. Some roads are not done. The power lines have all fallen down, so all that needs to be cleaned up and fixed.
— Likith Dip
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
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
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.
— Likith Dip · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka
We need to arrange for a bus to Melkote and Gerethannooru. There's a Pandavapura bus available for us, which is helpful. This bus comes three times. One service is at 2 PM and another at 9 AM.
