Social Issues
Uttara Karnataka's Struggle: Inequalities and Challenges
Shortages in medical facilities and healthcare professionals exacerbate healthcare inequities. Deficient infrastructure less connectivity and economic growth, especially in rural areas. Governance inefficiencies and limited job prospects further slow down progress. Tragic events like maternal deaths occur when doctors neglect their responsibilities. Article A-371 is used only for aesthetic purposes, ignoring its actual intent.

Hindu Muslim unity celebration denied
Last year in November, the Muslim community was denied permission to celebrate Tipu Jayanti at the Idgah Maidan in Hubballi. Because of this Muslim leaders came to the Uttara Karnataka Janashakti Sena. We took permission on our own responsibility and celebrated Tipu Jayanti.

Fight Against Micro-Finance Company
In the name of micro-finance, the exploitation of poor people and girls was going on in Hubli. They used to Get important documents of the poor and on those give the loan to others, also we got complaints that collection agents used to collect monthly amounts and not deposit to the company, resulting making the borrowers defaulters. When these issues were brought to us we filed a police complaint and registered FIR against the microfinance company. By our act of solidarity, many families are living in peace from these fraudsters.
Farmers Issues
Agricultural Extension Services, And Policy Implementation Issues
Farmers face horrible consequences, those who seeking fertilizer are met with gunshots, while sugarcane growers suffer losses due to low rates. These obstacles highlight the critical need for more finance for irrigation projects, better extension services, and more equitable allocation of subsidies. Addressing these issues thoroughly is vital to ensuring equitable agricultural development and prosperity in the region.
Farmers Protest At Axis Bank
When the farmers of Kalghatagi, Navalgund, and Naragunda in North Karnataka, were reeling under drought, we came to know about the goondaism with farmers who received the lowest loans from Vijaya Bank at their residences.

Their actions were intended to draw attention to the region's complaints and guarantee that North Karnataka's concerns were taken into account when making decisions about the diversion of water from the Mahadayi River. Because of UJS engagement, political action and community engagement around this subject in North Karnataka were highlighted.
Educational ISSUES
Education Inequality in Uttara Karnataka
Concerns arise over the unequal distribution of educational opportunities, with prestigious institutions often concentrated in regions like Dakshina Karnataka, leaving students in Uttara Karnataka at a disadvantage. This educational inequality extends to examinations like the KPSC, where North Karnataka residents may face discrimination. Despite VTU being located in Belagavi, courses are developed elsewhere, further exacerbating disparities. Together, we advocate for equality in education, urging for fair resource allocation and opportunities for all.
Infrastructure Issues
Infrastructure Deficiencies in Uttara Karnataka
Poor infrastructure in North Karnataka exacerbates daily challenges for its residents. Insufficient road networks and poor public transportation systems lead to difficulties in traveling and accessing essential services. Frequent power outages due to inadequate electricity infrastructure disrupt economic activities and daily routines. Overall, the lack of proper infrastructure in North Karnataka significantly impacts socio-economic development and reduces the quality of life for its people. The UJS actively supports infrastructure improvements, pressure for better road networks, more reliable public transportation, and enhanced electricity infrastructure to address the region’s pressing needs and improve the lives of its residents.
UJS Pressures HDUDA To Drop Hubli Land
When a proposal was made to acquire 100 acres of fertile land in Hubli on the pretext of HDUDA Layout, the UJS gave a deadline to HDUDA and fought for people, and played an important role in getting HDUDA to give up the proposal and securing their rights and protecting valuable resources. This led to a victory for the people.

UJS Fights for Citizen Safety Amidst BRTS Chaos
BRTS project has been a curse to the citizens of twin city, impractical planning, implementation has led to many accidents, and disasters for the people. There was a parliamentary committee report that BRTS is a failed scheme yet the local leaders brought it to us instead of making it just two way or flyover or metro like Bangalore. UJS has played an important role in raising concerns about the troubles people are facing with inadequate resource planning, delays and inconvenience for travelers. The crosslines where other vehicles have to cross has been a nightmare for people who travel every day between the cities.UJS continues to fight with the authorities to make the project convenient for travelers.
Legal issues
Legal Issues Cause Worry for Uttara Karnataka Residents

Illegal Liquor Supply
Illegal liquor was being supplied to every house in the village in Kalghatagi taluk and when the nearest police station, which was sitting blindfolded, was surrounded, the officers who were sitting in the police station in a drunken state were warned by UJS. Due to this, the illegal Liquor Supply is stopped there only.
Disabled Access In Government Offices
A meeting was held with the tahsildars office to ensure that the facilities reserved for the disabled were made available to them immediately. As a result of all this, today disabled people have not worked courageously in the government office but are doing their work by telling the Uttara Karnataka Janashakti Sena.
Office Shifted For Accessibility For Disabled People
People with disabilities are neglected by society, for the first time we gave them courage by holding a conference of disabled people on the premises of Shivan Murty of Shivapura Colony in Hubli.

Proper Ration Delivery To Poor In Hubli
It is the credit of the UJS that many poor people of Hubli got their ration cards. UJS ensures that every poor person should get rations in a time.
Industries ISSUES
Unfair Industrialization Practices In Uttara Karnataka
The unfair treatment meted to Uttara Karnataka people for the growth of industries is very much evident as major industries and manufacturing units have shied away from the region. Although there are small industrial estates are in operation in Gokul Road, Gamangatti, Tarihal, Navagar etc, the poor state of infrastructure in these places has made prospective industries to move away.
Examples such as Aeques SEZ is still not operational and lands in these industrial units have been purchased at below market rates from farmers to fill the land bank of the rich. Infosys which opened with much furore is still not operational and authorities maintain silence. Recent examples of Tata Nano Project and Hero Motors Plant moving out of North Karnataka is a big setback to people, their job aspirations and it invited a brain drain of youth. UJS consistently raised its voice and protested against the lack of interest by legislators in promoting industries and jobs in the region
