Both Mangalore and Kerala are identical in almost all aspects. However there could only be 1 or 2 differences at the maximum. I will be delighted if both Mangalore and Udupi are merged with Kerala.
There are plenty of similarities between Mangalore and Kerala. The similarities are too long to be mentioned here. Kerala follows uniform pattern of development throughout the state. Kerala has always been welcoming to everyone since antiquity.
I definitely hope and wish that Mangalore and Udupi soon become a part of Kerala.
Thanks Numbeo for providing APIs for our project. Our project is for an Australian client.
Karnataka government have only developed Bangalore, and now want to develop Hubli and Belgaum, alongside Bangalore.
It is now the right time for Mangalore and Udupi together to form a new separate state.
It lacks the vibrant atmosphere, energetic vibes and youthful enthusiasm of cities such as Bangalore.
Even the people in this coastal city are very spiritual. Every person after finishing his studies wants to work somewhere else. There is a severe lack of job opportunities here especially in the professional sector. The population is around 6 lakhs only! Is this a city or a town?
Most highways and railway lines connecting Mangalore are of very poor quality. During monsoon, landslides and potholes can completely disrupt transport connectivity with other places.
In my opinion, Mangalore is a good place only for school, college students and the aged people (above 60 years). At present, it's certainly not the place to be for age-groups between 25 and 60 years. Bangalore is a much better place for employment, PhD education, business and entertainment. Bangalore is a great place, but Mangalore is also equally good.
But crowdsourced information especially about cities should be taken with a pinch of salt. I feel that Numbeo is accurate at a country level. Not very sure about cities though.
And let us respect the opinion and comments of each and every person.
So, climate has very little to do with quality of life in my opinion.
There is no good or bad place in this world. It is our mindset that needs to be changed. It is our own mind that creates borders and walls. These quality of life, crime, pollution and healthcare ratings shouldn't be taken seriously.
I am from Mangalore and have travelled all over India. I have also travelled to more than 35 countries across the world. Let me tell you frankly and honestly that people are kind and helpful everywhere in the world. Wherever we go in this world, that particular place is our home. Be happy to make friends with people from all nationalities and states.
It is very true that Karnataka does not consider Mangalore as part of its territory. Even after the resumption of train services after lockdown, not even a single train runs between Karnataka and Mangalore.
Train have now started functioning between Bangalore, Mysore, Hubli and Belgaum. But not Mangalore. I have heard many Karnataka people mocking Mangalore with false allegations such as fish smell, etc.
Being from Uttarakhand, let me tell you that Mangalore is among the cleanest places in South Asia. Mangalore is much cleaner and less polluted than any place in Karnataka.
Being an Indian, I don't understand the levels of apathy shown by Karnataka. Karnataka is among the worst states in the world.
Sorry to be blunt, but I too want Mangalore and Udupi to jointly form a separate state soon.
We will make use of the API offered by this site. This website's data is very useful for our company's project.
We Keralites like the Karnataka state capital Bangalore and Bangalore is a home away from home for us Malayalees.
I have written many answers in Quora where I feel that people in Mangalore, Udupi and North Karnataka are very narrow-minded. It will be good if separate states are formed.
I am suffering from severe mental illness. But the Bangalore dry climate was helpful in reducing my Schizophrenia and mental illness. I had undergone mental treatment in Bangalore at NIMHANS.
I am now undergoing psychiatric treatment in my hometown Kochi. Kochi and Bangalore have much better Quality of Life than Mangalore.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to comment.
Despite being with Karnataka state for nearly 64 years, there connectivity between Mangalore and Karnataka is miserable. The Karnataka government doesn't consider Mangalore as part of its territory. There is not even a proper highway or railway route between Mangalore and the state capital.
In fact, the connectivity from Mangalore within the state is unabated/unaffected only between Udupi and Karwar.
Sorry to disappoint you Prashanth sir, but the connectivity between Mangalore and Kerala is seamless throughout the year.
Kerala will soon construct a high-speed rail from Trivandrum to Kasargode, with a possible extension to Mangalore. This single rail connects all the major towns and cities of Kerala. The entire journey takes just 4 hours!
To summarise my point, either form a separate state comprising the Mangalore region, or merge Mangalore with Kerala. I don't think that Mangalore has any future with Karnataka.
I think that Karnataka government has different approaches to different regions of the state. The government is fully aware that the people from Mangaluru and Coastal Karnataka are highly entrepreneurial and hence the private sector has blossomed in the coastal region.
Hence the government utilizes a vast majority of its funds in the less entrepreneurial regions such as Bengaluru-Mysuru zone and North Karnataka.
Bengaluru mainly developed due to governments' support and people migrating and investing in that city. The contribution of Bengaluru's native people has been very little to that city's growth.
I am totally against the separation of Mangaluru region from Karnataka, and completely oppose the formation of another state. It will only lead to more problems and absolutely no benefits.
Remember that Karnataka government and Central government focuses more on other places because they think that the non-coastal areas of Karnataka can't develop without the help and support of the government.
If you are wondering why many software companies haven't come up in the Mangaluru region, then that's probably due to the presence of a Port and very less population. Port cities are usually given more preference for Hardware, chemical and manufacturing industries. But even then, there are a few software companies and many startups in Mangaluru.
Better infrastructure will lead to better utility services, healthcare, transport and job opportunities. So, I certainly wish and hope that Mangalore gets separated from Karnataka. Dear reader, please don't feel offended as every person has the right to voice his/her opinion.
Mangalore may have good quality of life, but the Karnataka government considers Mangalore as its waste dumpyard. Karnataka does not want Mangalore for any reason. Many Kannadigas think that Mangalore is worse than hell. Then you better stay in your dusty, dry, barren, air-polluted, water-deprived, greenery-deprived, 3000 feet high altitude safe places of interior Karnataka. Don't come to your hell known as Mangalore.
Karnataka government does not consider Mangalore as part of its territory. The tiny city of Mangalore with an estimated population of 0.5 to 0.8 million generates the 2nd highest revenue to Karnataka state every year. But successive Karnataka governments have only shown total apathy to Mangalore since decades. So it is high-time that Mangalore region is made a separate state, and gets permanently detached from Karnataka (Bengaluru state).
Even though Mangalore city is the 2nd highest revenue generator for Karnataka, the Karnataka government gives peanuts in its recent budget to Mangalore. Mangalore is also surrounded by a useless state living in total delusion called "Kerala".
In my opinion, Mangalore along with Udupi have to form a new separate state very soon. Both Karnataka and Kerala governments are among the most useless and horrible state governments within India.
Karnataka government is capable of shifting the entire seaport from Mangalore to their beloved city Bangalore. Karnataka will certainly move the International Airport from Mangalore place it in Southern Bangalore.
Dump everything in Bangalore but provide the absolute worst infrastructure and connectivity to Mangalore. All the Karnataka Chief Ministers from 1956 should be impeached and held responsible for ruining the state, except their paradises Bangalore and Mysore.
It is shameful for Mangalore to be a part of Karnataka, which is also called "Bangalore state".
Mangalore and Udupi together should soon form a separate Tulu state and get permanently separated from Karnataka (Bangalore state).
1. Port city Mangalore is at the confluence of Kerala and Goa, 2 of the most frequently visited and considered to be the best Indian states by the people of the Western World (Europe, Americas and Australia)
Mangalore enjoys straight line connectivity, and is only an overnight journey via train from any place in Kerala and Goa.
2. In addition to Karnataka, Kerala and Goa places, Mangalore is an overnight journey via train from entire coastal Maharashtra, except for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Places such as Ratnagiri are only an 8 hour journey via train from Mangalore. Navi Mumbai too is just 11-12 hours away. Even Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu is well connected with Mangalore through the railways. It is also easily accessible via trains (7 hour journey).
3. Due to its location, Mangalore is a potpourri of cultures, and a highly multicultural society. It is a mix of Tulunad, Coorg, interior Karnataka zone, Kerala, Goa, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu cultures.
Hence, Mangalore's strategic location is important for both India and many people from the Western World.
If it wasn't for its entrepreneurial people, private sector and the late U. Srinivas Mallya, then Mangalore would never have made it to the Quality of Life rankings. Mangalore and Udupi don't deserve to be in that Karnataka state anymore.
Most people in Mangalore vote for the Prime Minister and not for the MLA/MP candidates. So even if a cow, snake or pig were to stand as MLA/MP contestant, it will win from Mangalore constituency. And I'm not at all kidding about this fact.
The following problems persisting since decades in Mangalore, will never get solved by these incapable elected representatives
1. Eliminate private buses, introduce KSRTC buses, electric buses and build a new city bus stand
2. Introduce both the BRTS and Metro Rail to Mangalore
3. Build a new International Airport with a 4000 meter long runway at Padubidri
4. Eliminate all the Railway level-crossing problems within the city
5. Improve sanitation and beautify the city with tree lined roads, sidewalks, garden parks and upgrade beaches and port
6. Complete all the pending flyover constructions, and build a flyover at Nantoor junction
7. Clean the Mangalore port and Panambur beach. It is littered with coal and charcoal. All tourist arriving here grumble about this drawback
8. Detach Mangalore from Southern Railway zone and bring it into the South-Western Railway zone
But the bottom line is that India itself is a stupid country, run by utterly brainless people
For Nature lovers, Mangalore is strategically located in Karnataka. All the popular Malenadu hill station places are at Max 4 hours away and nearby from Mangalore. They are
-Madikeri
-Somwarpet
-Sakleshpur
-Mudigere
-Kudremukh
-Kalasa
-Koppa
-Balehonnur
-Balur Estate
-Sringeri
-Chikmagalur/Mullayangiri
-Bababudangiri
-Agumbe
-Thirthahalli
-Bhadra sanctuary
-Mandagadde
-Hulikal
-Hosanagara/Kodachadri
-Sagara
-Jog Falls
-Yellapura
-Sirsi
Ranipuram at Kasargod is also nearby. Wayanad, Ooty and Nandi Hills are in the 250 - 350 km distance range from Mangalore.
So, if you are a Nature lover, you will definitely like to settle down in Mangalore.
We Mangaloreans need Product-based Software companies and Research institutes. We don't need those Petrochemical industries at all.
Private buses over here are the most primitive, polluting and worst buses you'll ever find. There is absolutely no improvement in their condition for the past 30 years.
But still, Mangalore is Heaven for all the Kerala people.
People keep voting for foolish political parties and the useless Indian government and worthless Karnataka government have completely neglected Mangalore.
All the politicians in India are awful, ignorant, pathetic and selfish.
It is a matter of life or death while landing at Mangalore Airport, but government does nothing to expand the runway or build a new airport at Padubidri.
Government wants to increase the Death Rate rapidly in Mangalore. They have sold this airport without the people's consensus to Adani, who is a crooked ignorant person.
Very soon, Indian government and Karnataka government will sell the entire Mangalore city to Adani or Ambani.
Shame on India government !
Shame on Karnataka government !
In order to improve, there have been questions (criticisms) that have been posted by some people from Mangalore, who want their city to improve:
Majority of these questions can be found in the link pasted below:
https://www.quora.com/topic/Mangalore-India-3/all_questions
Please go through the relevant questions. I request the Mangalore city dwellers and the Administration to take the criticisms from all the relevant questions as a challenge, and in the right spirit.
It is the people's mindset that needs to change.
Talking about just 1 aspect - "Corruption"
There is a Goon named S. Ganesh Rao from Karavali College who wants to become a future MLA.
1. This person had slapped students for no reason.
2. Had abused faculty members and had threatened to physically assault them
3. This Karavali College Goon S. Ganesh Rao had Bribed the AICTE officials to stop the closure of his education institute.
4. All employees had a bond and were sent for Marketing outside the college without any reimbursements.
5. Students had to deal with the pathetic infrastructure of this education institute.
6. The student lab manuals were printed in the photocopies of the employees' markscards
7. This goon S. Ganesh Rao has Bribed the local media such as Daijiworld and Udayavani.
The local Mangalore people are stupid to call this person (S.Ganesh Rao) a clean and humble person.
Mangalore is safe for Hooligans and Right Wing fanatics only.
Mangalore is a highly corrupt city, where bribing officials and media will turn a Goon into a Righteous person.
I agree with the ratings for Quality of Life.
Some of the local news channels have focused on the negative side of the city, but I always felt very safe to stay in Mangalore. I am living in this city since 1985.
Overall, Mangalore is a wonderful place to stay.
history. Less pollution, traffic is ok except during peak hours. But that too u dont hav t wait for more than 5 mins. Traffic wil get going.
Climate is good. Rainy season is beautiful nd humidity is good. It keeps the skin clean
Population as per 2011 census was around 600,000.
Climate is not good, due to high humidity and heavy rains during the monsoon.
Apart from these things, the city is fairly OK in my opinion.
