About the constituency

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-160.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px” ]

Sarvagnanagar constituency, located in the north-east of the city, has a mix of developed as well as developing areas. The constituency includes Nagavara, HBR Layout, Banasavadi, Kammanahalli, Kacharkanahalli, Kadugondanahalli, Lingarajapura and Maruthi Seva Nagar wards. Like other suburbs in the Cantonment area, Cox Town has a large Tamil population.

While the constituency has a large number of educational institutions, hospitals and commercial establishments, the infrastructural development has not kept pace with the population influx. The main problems raised by citizens in these wards include bad roads and poor drainage systems. HBR Layout is full of potholes, badly asphalted roads and irregular Cauvery water supply.

The lack of sanitary outlets in the layouts has also created problems, according to Muniraju N, Secretary of Hennur Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA). Even though sanitary connections have been provided from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board ( BWSSB), lack of outlets makes sanitary pipelines empty into open drains.

The constituency had 1,07,946 voters in 2008, which increased to 1,40,703 in 2013. Today, the total number of registered voters here is 3,34,473.

Give the poor homes or allow them to build? Ambedkar Nagar may hold the answer

by and April 22, 2025 Governance
The residents of the resettlement site in Chennai have made gradual upgrades to their homes, but are yet to get formal land titles from the government.

Across Indian cities, resettlement policies have often failed to provide long-term solutions for displaced communities, leaving them with insecure tenure, inadequate infrastructure, and limited growth opportunities. These challenges become even more apparent in resettlement schemes such as Chennai's Perumbakkam, where displaced communities were relocated into government-built apartments nearly 30 kilometres away. Antony, one of the first allottees of a plot in Chennai's Ambedkar Nagar, compares plots and apartments. He explains that having land allows gradual construction and improvements. "This is best. Here, with land, we can construct over time. There (in Perumbakkam), they cannot. There, even if they have money,…

Making the invisible visible: Why Bengaluru needs effective groundwater monitoring

by April 16, 2025 Governance
Ten assessment points in Bengaluru are over-exploited for groundwater, while government bodies lack the resources for effective monitoring.

Monitoring groundwater level is like keeping a tab on your income and expenses—if you are spending more, it is a warning sign. You can cut down spending or find ways to earn more. Similarly, a city must decide whether to reduce extraction in certain areas or improve recharge methods, such as rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment, or preserving open spaces. So, does Bengaluru have enough groundwater monitoring systems? While a WELL Labs report estimates the city's groundwater consumption as 1,392 million litres a day (MLD), BWSSB’s groundwater outlook report states that the extraction is only 800 MLD. This suggests a significant…
