A Bhojpuri-majority district on the Rapti, with a city that grew by 32 villages

Bharat Survey is a survey company in Gorakhpur for campaign teams, NGOs, brands and public programmes. Gorakhpur Nagar Nigam now has 80 wards after absorbing 32 villages, and the district's nine assembly segments vote in the Gorakhpur and Bansgaon seats. We plan samples on both maps, send Bhojpuri-speaking interviewers where needed, and log every record offline with GPS and time.

What changed

Count

From 70 to 80 wards

The delimitation before the 2023 civic polls created ten new wards, so any sample drawn on the older map misses part of the city.
Boundary

32 villages brought in

Villages on the city edge became Nagar Nigam wards. Their answers on roads, drains and services can differ from older wards, so they get their own quota.
Names

More than 40 wards renamed

Many wards took new names. We match every sampled ward to the current list before briefing teams, so interviewers are not sent to wards that no longer exist.

City segment plus four around it

Gorakhpur Urban is the city core; Gorakhpur Rural, Pipraich, Sahjanwa and Caimpiyarganj bring village and small-town households into the same seat. Quotas are set per segment so the city does not drown out the rest.

Khajni, Chauri Chaura, Bansgaon and Chillupar vote in Bansgaon, which also reaches into Deoria district. A Bansgaon study sends a team across that boundary.

Bhojpuri as the working language

Just over half the district reported Bhojpuri as mother tongue in 2011. Questionnaires are written in Hindi and piloted aloud in Bhojpuri, so interviewers phrase questions the same way in every village.

Our view

Election work

Door to door survey agency in Gorakhpur wards

Nagar Nigam surveys cover the 80 current wards, with the merged-village wards as a separate stratum and consent, GPS and duration on every visit.

Segment surveys for assembly and Lok Sabha

Nine segments sampled in one round and reported for the Gorakhpur seat, the Gorakhpur district share of Bansgaon, or both.

Booth work for volunteers

After research, campaigns can use the booth management app Gorakhpur volunteers run offline for booth tasks and turnout reports. It never imports voter lists.

FAQ

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

Which segments are in the Gorakhpur Lok Sabha seat?

The district administration lists five: Caimpiyarganj, Pipraich, Gorakhpur Urban, Gorakhpur Rural and Sahjanwa. The district's other four segments, Khajni, Chauri Chaura, Bansgaon and Chillupar, vote in the Bansgaon seat. We tag each interview with its segment and report the seats separately.

How many wards does Gorakhpur Nagar Nigam have?

80. The delimitation before the 2023 civic polls raised the count from 70, brought 32 villages into the corporation and renamed more than 40 wards. We sample on the current list and treat the merged-village wards as their own group.

Why do you pilot questionnaires in Bhojpuri?

Census 2011 recorded Bhojpuri as the mother tongue of about 51% of Gorakhpur district, slightly more than Hindi. Reading a Hindi form aloud in natural Bhojpuri changes wording, so we agree the spoken phrasing in a pilot and brief every interviewer on it.

Does the monsoon affect Gorakhpur fieldwork?

It can slow access in low-lying areas and villages. We keep buffer days in monsoon schedules, move affected sample points later in the round, and replace a location only after telling you and recording why.
