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.

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 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.

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.

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
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 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
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
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...

Hello, greetings to all the madams and sirs. Many of our civic worker's children have gone. Even then, they say they will get jobs, but many people don't get jobs.
— Shram · Pandavapura, 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.

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
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
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.

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
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
If women who don't have land simply rely on their husbands, saying 'my husband, my husband,' then where will the food come from if there is no land? Going forward, even an elder brother's support will not be available. Therefore, women here must act patiently.
— Darshan S.K · Haravu, 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
Wealthy individuals/investors leave by 7:00 AM. Instead, if a factory were established here, it would benefit them as well. That approach would help people. There should be many garment factories; at least one such garment factory should exist.
— Uma mahadevappa · Bevukallu, 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
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
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
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
Oil prices, pulses, and all household rations should be slightly reduced for us. We are poor people, we must say this.
— Preetham P U
There are no industries in our village, so please open and develop them. It would be good if you do that, sir. All the children are waiting here.
— Darshan S.K
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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...
