Kushinagar, Maharajganj and Deoria: from the Nepal border to the Ghaghara

Bharat Survey is a survey agency in Gorakhpur division for political teams, NGOs, researchers and departments that need field data from the north-east corner of Uttar Pradesh. The division runs from Maharajganj's border with Nepal down to Deoria, and its seats are stitched across district lines. We plan by assembly segment, deploy field teams recruited for the project, and record location and time on every interview through an offline Android app.

  • Segment-first samples for split Lok Sabha seats
  • Offline collection in border and forest blocks
  • Hindi questionnaires with Bhojpuri-speaking enumerators where needed
  • Daily coverage by block

The division

Gorakhpur division is headquartered in Gorakhpur city and has four districts: Gorakhpur, Deoria, Kushinagar and Maharajganj. Maharajganj's northern boundary is the international border with Nepal, and much of the division is flat, densely settled farmland where villages sit close together but roads between blocks can be slow in the monsoon.

Why the seat map needs care

Seats here overlap districts more than in most of the state. Kushinagar district's Tamkuhi Raj and Fazilnagar segments vote in the Deoria Lok Sabha seat. Deoria district's seven segments are spread over three Lok Sabha seats: Deoria, Salempur and Bansgaon. Even Gorakhpur district sends one segment, Khajani, to the Sant Kabir Nagar seat. A plan written district by district will quietly mix electorates, so we start from the segment list.

Kushinagar district is administered from Padrauna, while the town of Kushinagar, known worldwide as the place of the Buddha's Mahaparinirvana, gives the district its name. Five of its seven segments (Khadda, Padrauna, Kushinagar, Hata and Ramkola) form the Kushi Nagar Lok Sabha seat; Tamkuhi Raj and Fazilnagar go to Deoria. A political survey company in Kushinagar has to keep those two apart, and an election survey agency in Kushinagar should report them with the Deoria seat when the question is about Parliament. The district site lists 6 tehsils and 14 blocks, which a data collection agency in Kushinagar uses to schedule teams. Pilgrim and tourist traffic gives a market research company in Kushinagar a visitor segment that most eastern districts lack. For household work, a door to door survey agency in Kushinagar covers villages that stretch toward the Bihar border. The booth management app Kushinagar volunteers carry works offline. When a client asks a survey agency in Kushinagar for one district number, we still hand over the segment-wise counts underneath it.

Maharajganj is the division's border district: the district site notes that its northern boundary touches Nepal. Its five segments are Pharenda, Nautanwa, Siswa, Maharajganj and Paniyara, and together they make up the whole Maharajganj Lok Sabha seat, so a political survey company in Maharajganj can treat district and seat as one sampling frame. Towns such as Nautanwa sit on the road to the Sonauli crossing, so cross-border movement and trade are real topics for an election survey agency in Maharajganj and for a market research company in Maharajganj studying traders. With 4 tehsils and 12 blocks, a data collection agency in Maharajganj can cover the district in fewer field days than Deoria, but signal drops in forested northern blocks, which is where offline collection matters. A door to door survey agency in Maharajganj should record locked houses from seasonal migration. Booth management app Maharajganj teams sync when back in range, so a survey agency in Maharajganj builds an evening sync stop in Nautanwa, Siswa or Pharenda into each route.

Blocks / urban bodies
16 / 17

Deoria has the most fragmented seat map in the division. Deoria, Pathardeva and Rampur Karkhana sit in the Deoria Lok Sabha seat; Bhatpar Rani and Salempur in Salempur, which extends into Ballia; Rudrapur and Barhaj in Bansgaon, which is mostly Gorakhpur district. A political survey company in Deoria that reports one district figure is averaging three different contests, so an election survey agency in Deoria should weight by segment. The district site lists 16 blocks, 1,122 gram panchayats and 17 urban local bodies, a heavy workload for a data collection agency in Deoria that needs village-level coverage. The number of small towns gives a market research company in Deoria more urban sampling points than Maharajganj offers. For scheme verification, a door to door survey agency in Deoria plans block by block along the Ghaghara side in the south. The booth management app Deoria campaign workers use can group booths by Lok Sabha seat. Across the district's 5 tehsils, a survey agency in Deoria gets the cleanest seat reads by treating Salempur and Bhatpar Rani as one fieldwork cluster and Rudrapur and Barhaj as another.

Our view

Not the right fit if

  • An office or resident team in Kushinagar, Maharajganj or Deoria
  • Surveys across the border inside Nepal
  • Voter-roll imports or tracking individual voters
  • Promised election outcomes

A good fit if

  • Seat surveys where segments cross districts
  • Scheme and household studies in rural blocks
  • Visitor and trader research around Kushinagar and Nautanwa
  • Campaign teams running booth work offline
FAQ

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

Which districts does Gorakhpur division include?

Four: Gorakhpur, which is the headquarters, Deoria, Kushinagar and Maharajganj. Gorakhpur city has a separate page. This hub goes district by district through the other three and compares all four in one table, using seat data from the 2008 delimitation and block counts from district websites.

Which Lok Sabha seats cover Deoria district?

Three. Deoria, Pathardeva and Rampur Karkhana are in the Deoria seat. Bhatpar Rani and Salempur are in the Salempur seat. Rudrapur and Barhaj are in the Bansgaon seat. The Deoria seat also includes Tamkuhi Raj and Fazilnagar from Kushinagar district.

Can your app work in the northern blocks near the Nepal border?

Yes. The Android app collects fully offline, stores location and time with each record, and syncs when the phone next finds network. Supervisors see those records once they sync, so plan a sync point in a town each evening.

Do you have local staff in the division?

We do not claim an office or permanent team here. Enumerators are recruited and trained for each project, ideally from the same area so they speak the local dialect, and their work is checked through app evidence and supervisor back-checks.
