28 districts, dozens of languages, very few straight roads

Bharat Survey works as a survey company in Arunachal Pradesh for departments, researchers, NGOs and campaign teams who need verified household data from valleys that can be a full day's drive apart. We plan travel district by district, write questionnaires in Hindi and English with local-language prompts reviewed by speakers of the tribes being surveyed, and use an offline app that holds a week of interviews before a signal returns.

  • Offline for days in low-network valleys
  • Hindi, English and tribal-language prompts
  • Travel plans around landslide season
  • Inner Line Permit time built into schedules

Electoral research

Assembly seats here have small electorates spread across scattered villages, so a handful of misplaced interviews can swing an estimate.

We design polling-station samples inside each constituency and set minimum interviews per circle, so a seat estimate is not built from the one village next to the road. Questions are neutral and never name a preferred outcome, and results are reported with the sample size beside every figure.

Assembly and parliamentary cycles

The 60-member assembly was elected in 2024 together with the two Lok Sabha seats, Arunachal West and Arunachal East. An assembly election survey agency Arunachal Pradesh campaigns rely on has to plan around that shared calendar; we use the quiet years for governance perception panels that later give trend lines.

Booth-level coordination

The booth management app Arunachal Pradesh teams use keeps tasks and visit logs on the phone for days in circles with no network, then syncs with GPS and time. It does not import voter-list personal data.

Towns

Survey company in Itanagar

Itanagar, the capital, sits with Naharlagun inside the Itanagar Capital Region and has the state's only municipal corporation. As a survey agency in Itanagar we cover government colonies, market wards and fringe villages as separate strata. Campaigns that need a political survey company in Itanagar or an election survey agency in Itanagar get the same field team brands use as a market research company in Itanagar. Departments hire a data collection agency in Itanagar when they need a door to door survey agency in Itanagar. Booth management app Itanagar teams sync on the capital's better network.

Survey company in Pasighat

Pasighat, headquarters of East Siang district on the Siang river, was founded in 1911 and is a hub for Adi-speaking villages. A survey agency in Pasighat needs Adi-language prompts and river-crossing time in the plan. Campaigns use us as a political survey company in Pasighat or an election survey agency in Pasighat, and traders as a market research company in Pasighat. As a data collection agency in Pasighat we work as a door to door survey agency in Pasighat, and booth management app Pasighat volunteers can work fully offline in upstream circles.

Household listing in dispersed villages

Villages of a few dozen households can sit hours apart. We list them from LGD codes, then cluster by road access so travel time is visible in the budget.

Beneficiary and asset checks

Water connections, roads and housing are checked on site with consent-first photos and GPS, which matters where a structure's existence is itself the question.

Development work

Evaluation matrix first

Indicators, sample and comparison groups are agreed with the department before any tool is built, including which districts can support separate estimates.

Season-aware field windows

Heavy rain from roughly May to September brings landslides on hill roads; we place remote strata in drier months and document any substitutions.
CSR

Livelihood and horticulture projects

Kiwi, orange and large-cardamom growers are sampled by village cluster so outcomes are not read only from road-side farms.

School and health programmes

Facility checks and household interviews combined, with results split by district where the sample allows.
Consumers

Small markets, careful quotas

Retail in the state runs through Itanagar, Naharlagun, Pasighat and a few district towns supplied from Assam. We audit outlets with shelf photos and GPS, and set quotas so capital-region shoppers do not stand in for the whole state.

Field operations

Offline for a week

Forms, media and GPS stay on the phone until a signal returns, with no loss of timestamps.

Enumerators trained per project

We recruit and train enumerators for the project, preferring people who speak the languages of the surveyed circles.
NGOs

NGOs working on nutrition, maternal health or schooling in remote circles need consent that respondents actually understand. Consent is read aloud in Hindi or the local language, sensitive modules run in no-photo mode, and dashboards show circle-level progress rather than names.

Not the right fit if

  • You need all 28 districts surveyed within a week
  • You want voter-list personal data in the app
  • You need a claimed local office

A good fit if

  • Studies that budget honest travel time
  • Remote circles with no network
  • Reviewers who audit GPS-stamped records
FAQ

Straight answers to the questions people ask most about this topic.

Do enumerators need an Inner Line Permit in Arunachal Pradesh?

Visitors from outside the state need an Inner Line Permit. We prefer enumerators already resident in the state, and where outside supervisors travel we add permit processing time to the schedule. The requirement is set by the state government, so we check current rules at inception.

Which languages are used in questionnaires?

English and Hindi form the base, since Hindi works as the link language across tribes. For village interviews we add prompts reviewed by speakers of the relevant language, such as Adi around Pasighat or Nyishi in the central districts, and pilot them before fieldwork.

How long does a state-wide survey take?

Longer than in plains states of similar population, because travel dominates. After tools are approved, a district-stratified study usually needs several weeks of fieldwork, and more in the monsoon. We share a district-wise travel plan with the proposal instead of a single headline date.

Can the app work in circles with no mobile network?

Yes. The Android app stores forms, photos and GPS offline for days and syncs later without changing timestamps. Supervisors then review records by location and duration before they are accepted into the dataset.
