Kannada Agriculturist Explains Pepper Plantation Process. Know Its Price

In a recent Karnataka Janaspandana program, a young farmer’s request for help in finding a marriage partner drew widespread attention. This highlighted the challenges faced by young farmers in the Mandya-Chamarajanagar area, who even considered trekking to Male Mahadeshwara Hill to find brides. In response, the district administration of North Kannada has launched an innovative solution: the Jeevan Sangam marriage matchmaking portal. This initiative aims to address the marriage challenges faced by young farmers, as well as individuals with disabilities and those affected by HIV, by providing a suitable platform for forming relationships. The Jeevana Sangama portal, available on the North Kannada district administration website (https://uttarakannada.nic.in/), offers matchmaking services to young farmers, the disabled, widows, and HIV-positive individuals within their community.

The portal seeks to facilitate meaningful and respectful marriages by ensuring a safe environment for all users. It serves as a bridge for individuals seeking relationships, regardless of their background, and allows users to register and utilise its services free of charge. The portal also supports economically disadvantaged individuals, providing a valuable platform for farmer youths who struggle to find partners due to a lack of education or employment opportunities.

The Jeevan Sangam Portal is designed to be a highly secure platform where user privacy and dignity are prioritised throughout the matching process. Marriage applications and profiles are carefully reviewed by various officials from the Uttara Kannada district administration, including village administrative officers and revenue inspectors from the applicant’s locality.

These officials ensure the authenticity and credibility of each applicant’s profile, maintaining a trustworthy and reliable environment for all users. The service is open to individuals of all religions, allowing users to specify their religious preferences for matchmaking, and to choose matches within their own caste or opt for intercaste options based on personal preferences.

The portal is fully committed to protecting users’ personal information, ensuring that all data remains confidential and is used solely for marriage matchmaking. This platform is exclusively available to eligible young men and women residing in the North Kannada district, assisting only local residents.
