Kanpur Nagar, Kanpur Dehat, Etawah, Auraiya, Kannauj and Farrukhabad
Bharat Survey works as a survey agency in Kanpur division for campaigns, researchers, NGOs and departments that need answers from one city of millions and five largely rural districts along the Ganga and Yamuna. We run field surveys with an offline Android app that records GPS and time on every interview, and we plan samples around how the division's 27 assembly seats are split across Lok Sabha constituencies, because here those lines rarely follow district borders.
Kanpur division is administered from Kanpur. Kanpur Nagar alone holds ten of the division's 27 assembly seats and its only municipal corporation. The other five are largely rural.
A single parliamentary seat often pulls segments from two or three districts. A district-wise sample alone will miss that, so we draw quotas by assembly segment first and report both ways.
Figures come from district NIC sites and the constituency delimitation. We deploy field teams for projects in each district; we do not claim local offices.
Five urban seats make up the Kanpur Lok Sabha constituency, while Bithoor, Kalyanpur, Maharajpur and Ghatampur vote in Akbarpur and Bilhaur votes in Misrikh. Outside the city, the district office lists 4 tehsils (Kanpur Sadar, Bilhaur, Ghatampur and Narwal) and 10 blocks. City work has its own page.
Kanpur Nagar, the division headquartersIts four seats sit in four different Lok Sabha constituencies: Rasulabad in Kannauj, Akbarpur-Raniya in Akbarpur, Sikandra in Etawah and Bhognipur in Jalaun. An election survey agency in Kanpur Dehat has to weight each seat to its own parliamentary contest, and a political survey company in Kanpur Dehat should report them separately.
Across 6 tehsils, 10 blocks and 979 villages, our door to door survey agency in Kanpur Dehat work runs offline and syncs later. It also serves a market research company in Kanpur Dehat brief on rural buying, or a data collection agency in Kanpur Dehat job for a scheme audit. Because each of the four seats answers to a different MP, a survey agency in Kanpur Dehat has to budget four separate quota groups even for a modest sample, and the booth management app Kanpur Dehat teams use keeps committee reports by booth, not by voter.
Etawah has three assembly seats, and one of them looks outward: Jaswantnagar votes in the Mainpuri Lok Sabha constituency, while Etawah and Bharthana belong to the Etawah seat. An election survey agency in Etawah therefore splits its sample, and a political survey company in Etawah reads Jaswantnagar alongside Mainpuri.
The district runs through 6 tehsils, 8 blocks and 692 villages. A door to door survey agency in Etawah plans routes block by block. Programme monitoring by a data collection agency in Etawah and retail checks by a market research company in Etawah draw on the same village list, and a survey agency in Etawah running a Mainpuri-seat study sends one team to Jaswantnagar only. Booth management app Etawah users see daily booth reports from the same panel.
Auraiya was formed on 17 September 1997 from the Auraiya and Bidhuna tehsils of Etawah. Its three seats split two ways: Dibiyapur and Auraiya vote in the Etawah Lok Sabha constituency, Bidhuna in Kannauj. A political survey company in Auraiya should keep Bidhuna apart, and an election survey agency in Auraiya does the same when reporting trends.
The district has three tehsils (Auraiya, Bidhuna, Ajitmal), seven blocks and seven nagar palika or nagar panchayat towns. A door to door survey agency in Auraiya can cover the whole of a small town in days. Dealer and retail checks are typical for a market research company in Auraiya, and a data collection agency in Auraiya or survey agency in Auraiya can use the seven blocks (Ajitmal, Bhagyanagar, Sahar, Bidhuna, Achalda, Erwakatra and Auraiya) as ready-made strata. The booth management app Auraiya campaigns use runs offline.
Kannauj's three seats, Chhibramau, Tirwa and Kannauj, all vote in the Kannauj Lok Sabha constituency, which also takes Bidhuna from Auraiya and Rasulabad from Kanpur Dehat. An election survey agency in Kannauj covering the parliamentary seat must therefore go outside the district, and a political survey company in Kannauj should plan three districts' worth of field routes.
The town's attar distilleries give a market research company in Kannauj an unusual brief: artisan units, traders and buyers. With 3 tehsils, 8 blocks and 8 urban bodies, a data collection agency in Kannauj or a door to door survey agency in Kannauj can split towns from villages cleanly. Reports from a survey agency in Kannauj are easiest to use when they come block by block, and booth management app Kannauj teams report by booth.
Farrukhabad is the division's northern end, on the Ganga. Its four seats, Kaimganj, Amritpur, Farrukhabad and Bhojpur, all belong to the Farrukhabad Lok Sabha constituency, which makes it the simplest district here for an election survey agency in Farrukhabad to sample. The seat has a fifth segment, though: Aliganj in Etah district, so a political survey company in Farrukhabad can only report seat and district together once Aliganj is added.
Fieldwork spans 3 tehsils, 7 blocks (among them Kaimganj, Kamalganj, Rajepur and Shamsabad) and about 1,000 villages; a door to door survey agency in Farrukhabad plans them by block. The full block list is Barhpur, Kamalganj, Mohammadabad, Nawabganj, Kaimganj, Shamsabad and Rajepur; a survey agency in Farrukhabad, a market research company in Farrukhabad or a data collection agency in Farrukhabad should size field days by villages per block rather than splitting them evenly, and the booth management app Farrukhabad teams use needs no network in the field.
| District | Assembly seats | Lok Sabha seats involved | Tehsils | Blocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kanpur Nagar | 10 | Kanpur, Akbarpur, Misrikh | 4 | 10 |
| Kanpur Dehat | 4 | Kannauj, Akbarpur, Etawah, Jalaun | 6 | 10 |
| Etawah | 3 | Etawah, Mainpuri | 6 | 8 |
| Auraiya | 3 | Etawah, Kannauj | 3 | 7 |
| Kannauj | 3 | Kannauj | 3 | 8 |
| Farrukhabad | 4 | Farrukhabad (plus Aliganj, Etah) | 3 | 7 |
Quotas are set per assembly segment, then rolled up to seat and district.
Kanpur's wards need evening visits and gated-colony access; village blocks need offline routes. We brief the two teams differently.
Each evening the panel shows completes, refusals and locked houses by block, with GPS matched to the assigned village.

Six: Kanpur Nagar, Kanpur Dehat, Etawah, Auraiya, Kannauj and Farrukhabad, administered from Kanpur. Together they hold 27 assembly seats. Kanpur Nagar has ten of them and has its own page on this site.
Yes. We build the sample from assembly segments, so the Kannauj seat includes Bidhuna in Auraiya and Rasulabad in Kanpur Dehat, and the Etawah seat includes Dibiyapur, Auraiya and Sikandra.
The Android app saves interviews offline with GPS and time and syncs when the enumerator reaches coverage. Supervisors see any sync gap the next morning.
We do not claim an office in the division. For each project we recruit and train field staff, brief them on the district's tehsils and blocks, and supervise them through the web panel.
Share the districts, sample size and dates. We reply with a field plan and a quotation.
