A capital city seat that runs out into Khordha's villages
Bharat Survey is a survey company in Bhubaneswar for political researchers, government programmes, NGOs and brands. The city's corporation has 68 wards, but its Lok Sabha seat also includes Jatni, Begunia and Khordha, where interviews are rural. We write questionnaires in Odia, deploy field teams per project and record every interview offline with GPS, time and consent.

Straight answers to the questions people ask most about this topic.
Which assembly segments are in the Bhubaneswar Lok Sabha seat?
Seven: Jayadev (reserved for SC), Bhubaneswar Central, Bhubaneswar North, Ekamra-Bhubaneswar, Jatni, Begunia and Khordha, as shown on the CEO Odisha constituency map. Three are mainly urban, so we plan urban and rural strata separately.
How many wards does Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation have?
68 wards, the structure used for the 2022 urban local body election. Ward-level studies use these as the base unit; we confirm boundaries with the latest BMC publications before fieldwork.
Are interviews in Odia?
Yes. Questionnaires are written and piloted in Odia, with Hindi and English versions for respondents who prefer them. The app records which version was used for every interview.
Can you cover villages in Khordha along with the city?
Yes. Rural segments such as Begunia and Khordha are routed separately and captured offline, then synced when teams reach network. Results can be reported for the city, the rural segments, or the seat as a whole.
