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.

Check how your MPs have performed in Parliament (and here’s why)

From 100% attendance to only 26%, how did your MP perform this Budget Session? See who is truly representing your voice in our MP Tracker.

When Ranjan Gogoi, the former Chief Justice of India, retired from the Rajya Sabha two months ago, his performance in Parliament became a matter of debate. As per an analysis by Livelaw, Gogoi did not ask a question to the government even once during the six years of his tenure and participated in the debate on only one Bill.  More recently, when seven AAP MPs defected to BJP, another analysis by Indian Express revealed that one of these seven defecting MPs, Harbhajan Singh, a former cricketer, had only 26% attendance.  Why do we typically go around digging data on the…

Deepening reservoirs, rainwater harvesting: Sustainable alternatives to the Mamallan dam

by May 12, 2026 Governance
Why Mamallan reservoir? Experts say Chennai's water future lies in greener solutions — desilting old reservoirs and maintaining neglected tanks.

Ever since the contentious Mamallan reservoir was proposed in the ecosensitive Kovalam–Nemmeli backwater system, fisher communities in Chennai have repeatedly asked: Does it have to be here? Experts and scientists say no, urging the government to abandon the project and work on sustainable alternatives.  Critics point to a long list of costs: high expenditure, land acquisition, and risks to livelihoods and biodiversity. As we have reported earlier, the central concern driving the project is the looming drinking water supply crisis – demand is projected to rise from 1,100 million litres a day (MLD) to over 2,500 MLD for the Greater…
