Dakshina Kannada district minister U.T. Khader on Saturday, 17 October 2026, said the Prajaseva initiative could serve as a model for other countries. He was speaking after inaugurating the district-level Prajaseva campaign at Mangalore University in Konaje. Khader said Karnataka is the only state with a separate department for Prajaseva and urged officials to understand public grievances and resolve them. Issues needing state-level decisions will be escalated, he added.

Deputy commissioner H.V. Darshan said the campaign is an effective platform to address long-pending issues at taluk and hobli levels. A total of 309 petitions were received from the public during the programme. Khader said officials should act as a bridge between the government and the public, especially in rural areas.
Both outlets report the same event with near-identical quotes and facts, such as the 309 petitions received and Khader's remark that Karnataka has a separate Prajaseva department. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible slant. The key takeaway from the uniform coverage is the government's stated aim to streamline administration and resolve grievances at the local level, with the next step being the escalation of unresolved issues to state authorities.
