The Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar division

Bharat Survey is a survey company in Aurangabad, officially Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and the rest of Marathwada, working for campaigns, researchers, NGOs and departments. Marathwada is a historical region; its eight districts together form the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar revenue division. Rainfall is uncertain here, and many families migrate for seasonal work, so we record who is away as carefully as who answers. Every interview carries GPS and time.

  • Eight districts, one division
  • Seasonal migration recorded
  • Renamed districts mapped to old data

The region

The division covers Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Beed, Jalna, Dharashiv, Nanded, Latur, Parbhani and Hingoli. Two district names changed in September 2023, so older datasets still say Aurangabad and Osmanabad.

Survey company in Aurangabad

Tehsils
9
Assembly seats
9
Lok Sabha
Aurangabad, Jalna

The district has nine tehsils and nine assembly seats, split between the Aurangabad and Jalna Lok Sabha constituencies. Census 2011 recorded Marathi for about 70% of residents and Urdu for about 15%, so a political survey company in Aurangabad fields both languages. As an election survey agency in Aurangabad we treat the city's three seats apart from Paithan, Vaijapur and Sillod. Waluj and Shendra industrial areas give a market research company in Aurangabad auto-component workers and suppliers. Ellora and Ajanta bring tourists a data collection agency in Aurangabad keeps out of resident samples; a door to door survey agency in Aurangabad logs visit outcomes, and the booth management app Aurangabad volunteers use holds booth tasks only.

Survey company in Nanded Waghala

District talukas
16
Urban body
Municipal corporation
Lok Sabha
Nanded, Latur, Hingoli

The Nanded-Waghala corporation is the headquarters of a 16-taluka district whose seats spread across three Lok Sabha constituencies: Nanded, Hingoli and Latur. A survey agency in Nanded Waghala has to know which one a client means. The gurdwara at Hazur Sahib draws Sikh pilgrims, so a political survey company in Nanded Waghala samples residents at home. Talukas on the Telangana border need an election survey agency in Nanded Waghala to pilot wording first. Students and coaching institutes give a market research company in Nanded Waghala a young sample. A data collection agency in Nanded Waghala or door to door survey agency in Nanded Waghala plans Kinwat's forest villages as long routes, and the booth management app Nanded Waghala teams use works offline.

Survey company in Latur

Talukas
10
Urban body
Municipal corporation
Lok Sabha
Latur, Dharashiv (Ausa)

Latur district has ten talukas, and its seats do not all vote together: Ausa votes in Dharashiv, while the Latur Lok Sabha seat takes Loha from Nanded district. A survey agency in Latur checks both. The city's coaching schools draw students from across Maharashtra, which a political survey company in Latur or an election survey agency in Latur treats as a non-resident group. Soybean and tur dal mills give a market research company in Latur a strong agri-trade brief. The 2016 water trains are remembered, and a data collection agency in Latur or door to door survey agency in Latur studying water supply should ask about tanker use. The booth management app Latur volunteers use syncs later.

Survey company in Parbhani

Talukas
9
Assembly seats
4
Lok Sabha
Parbhani

Parbhani district has nine talukas and four assembly seats. The Parbhani Lok Sabha constituency adds Partur and Ghansawangi from Jalna, so a survey agency in Parbhani working at seat level must cross into the next district. A political survey company in Parbhani or an election survey agency in Parbhani samples Jintur's hill villages apart from the Godavari-side talukas. The agricultural university's campus and cotton and soybean trade give a market research company in Parbhani farmer-panel options. A data collection agency in Parbhani or door to door survey agency in Parbhani finds many houses locked after Diwali when cane-cutting season starts, and the booth management app Parbhani teams use keeps booth notes offline.

Survey company in Jalna

Talukas
8
Assembly seats
5
Urban body
Municipal corporation

Jalna is a municipal corporation city known as a centre of the hybrid seed business, with steel rolling mills beside it. A survey agency in Jalna can reach seed dealers, growers and mill workers in one district. Its five seats split: Jalna, Badnapur and Bhokardan vote in Jalna Lok Sabha, Partur and Ghansawangi in Parbhani, so a political survey company in Jalna or an election survey agency in Jalna reports two contests. A market research company in Jalna testing hybrid seed adoption has a natural home here. A data collection agency in Jalna or door to door survey agency in Jalna covers eight talukas by planned routes, and the booth management app Jalna volunteers use runs offline.

Survey company in Bid

Talukas
11
Marathi speakers
83.4% (2011)
GI product
Beed custard apple

Bid, usually spelled Beed, has eleven talukas and sends large numbers of workers to cut sugarcane in other districts each season. A survey agency in Bid times household rounds before they leave or after they return. A political survey company in Bid or an election survey agency in Bid records migrant members rather than treating locked houses as refusals. Census 2011 recorded Marathi for 83.4% of residents. Beed's custard apple holds a GI tag, one brief for a market research company in Bid; cotton and soybean are others. A data collection agency in Bid or door to door survey agency in Bid working on women's health can ask about migration-linked care gaps, and the booth management app Bid teams use syncs later.

Survey company in Osmanabad

Official name
Dharashiv (2023)
Talukas
8
Assembly seats
4

Osmanabad district is officially Dharashiv since September 2023, and a survey agency in Osmanabad must match both names in old and new datasets. Its four seats vote in the Dharashiv Lok Sabha constituency, which adds Ausa from Latur and Barshi from Solapur. A political survey company in Osmanabad or an election survey agency in Osmanabad therefore works in three districts. Tuljapur's Tulja Bhavani temple draws pilgrims, so resident samples stay at home addresses. Drought-prone farms give a market research company in Osmanabad crop-insurance and irrigation briefs. A data collection agency in Osmanabad or door to door survey agency in Osmanabad covers eight talukas, and the booth management app Osmanabad volunteers use stores tasks offline.

Survey company in Udgir

District
Latur
Assembly seat
Udgir
Lok Sabha
Latur

Udgir is a taluka town in Latur district close to the Karnataka border, and traders in its markets deal across state lines. A survey agency in Udgir pilots questions before relying on a Marathi-only form. The Udgir seat votes in the Latur Lok Sabha constituency, so a political survey company in Udgir or an election survey agency in Udgir reads results within that seat. The town is not among Maharashtra's 29 municipal corporations. Grain and pulse trade give a market research company in Udgir a mandi-based design. A data collection agency in Udgir or door to door survey agency in Udgir can cover the town in days, and the booth management app Udgir teams use records booth tasks, not voter data.

FAQ

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

Is Marathwada an official division?

Marathwada is a historical region, but its eight districts together make up the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar revenue division, so the two cover the same area.

Do you use old or new district names?

Both. Reports use Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Dharashiv, and we map them to Aurangabad and Osmanabad in older data so trends stay comparable.

How do you handle seasonal migration?

Interviewers record absent household members and the reason, and locked houses get repeat visits. We time rounds before or after the cane-cutting season when the brief needs full households.

Do you have staff in Aurangabad?

We do not claim an office in Marathwada. For each project we recruit and train interviewers, brief them on talukas and supervise them through the web panel.
