Colonies, villages and high-rises in one city-state
Bharat Survey is a survey company in Delhi for campaign teams, brands, research firms and departments that need interviews that reflect the whole city: planned colonies, urban villages, JJ clusters and resettlement colonies. We recruit and train enumerators for each project, interview in Hindi, English, Punjabi or Urdu, and GPS-stamp every visit so you can see which wards were really covered.

Our view
Assembly and ward-level opinion research
Each of Delhi's 70 assembly constituencies holds very different housing types within a few kilometres. We sample by MCD ward and settlement type so an unauthorised colony and a DDA flat pocket in the same seat are read separately, then weight to the seat.
Findings are reported neutrally, with sample sizes stated, and never with promises about outcomes. We do not name clients.
- Ward and settlement-type strata
- Evening and weekend slots for working households
- No voter-roll import
Seven Lok Sabha seats, ten segments each
Each Delhi Lok Sabha seat spans ten assembly segments, so parliamentary studies are built up from segment-level samples rather than a single city-wide number.
Delhi's hard part is access, not network.

| Settlement type | Main challenge | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Planned colonies and DDA flats | Gate and RWA access | Advance permission letters, evening visits |
| Group housing societies | Guard desks, few adults home by day | Weekend slots, society contact |
| Urban villages | Dense lanes, many tenants per building | Floor-by-floor listing |
| JJ clusters and resettlement colonies | Shift work, shared addresses | Morning and late-evening rounds |
Not the right fit if
- You need a local office address
- You want voter-roll data loaded into an app
- You need telephone (CATI) interviewing from us today
A good fit if
- Ward-level face-to-face samples
- Mystery shopping with GPS evidence
- Neutral political research

Do you cover all of Delhi NCR or only Delhi?
Projects can cover the National Capital Territory alone or extend to Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad. Because those cities fall under Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, we keep them as separate strata so Delhi results are not mixed with neighbouring states unless you want a combined NCR estimate.
How do you get into gated societies and colonies?
We request RWA or society permission in advance with a letter describing the study, schedule evening and weekend visits, and record refusals so response rates are honest. Where access is refused, we replace within the same ward and housing type rather than moving to an easier area.
Do you have an office in Delhi?
We do not claim a local office. Field teams are deployed per project: we recruit and train enumerators for the wards in scope and check quality through GPS location, interview duration flags and independent back-checks visible on the web panel.
Which languages are used for Delhi interviews?
Hindi is the default, with English versions for many planned colonies and offices. Punjabi and Urdu versions can be added where households prefer them, and Bengali or Bhojpuri-speaking enumerators help in some migrant clusters. Every version is back-translated and piloted first.
Tell us the wards or seats, languages and dates. We reply with a sample plan and timeline.
