Five districts around the state capital, from the Nepal border in Kheri to the Ganga at Unnao

Bharat Survey works as a survey agency in Lucknow division for campaign teams, researchers, NGOs and departments who need data from the districts around the capital rather than from the capital itself. The division has six districts: Lucknow, Hardoi, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Unnao and Raebareli. Lucknow city has its own page. This one covers the other five, where most respondents live in villages, several Lok Sabha seats cross district lines, and field plans have to follow assembly segments, not district maps.

Why the division matters

Lucknow division is where district boundaries and parliamentary boundaries disagree most often. The Misrikh Lok Sabha seat takes three assembly segments from Hardoi, one from Sitapur and one, Bilhaur, from Kanpur Nagar in the neighbouring division. Dhaurahra joins three Kheri segments with two from Sitapur. Sitapur district alone sends its nine assembly segments into four different Lok Sabha seats. A sample drawn by district will look tidy and still answer the wrong question for a parliamentary study.

What this means for a field plan

We draw samples by assembly segment first, then roll results up to whichever unit you report on: district, Lok Sabha seat or the whole division. Interviews run in Hindi, with enumerators comfortable in the Awadhi speech common across these districts.

District by district

Figures come from the Election Commission's 2008 delimitation order and district NIC websites. Where we could not verify a number, it is left out.

Hardoi is split between two parliamentary seats: Sawayajpur, Shahabad, Hardoi, Gopamau and Sandi sit in Hardoi, while Bilgram-Mallanwan, Balamau and Sandila belong to Misrikh. A political survey company in Hardoi therefore has to sample the southern tehsils separately. The district's 5 tehsils and 19 blocks tie it with Sitapur for the most blocks in the division, and an election survey agency in Hardoi should report the two seats side by side. The same village frame serves a market research company in Hardoi studying agricultural inputs or rural retail, or a data collection agency in Hardoi running a scheme study. Door to door survey agency in Hardoi work is mostly rural, and at about 5,989 sq km on the district's own figures, a survey agency in Hardoi should expect long travel days. Booth management app Hardoi users can map booth committees by segment.

Kheri is Uttar Pradesh's border district with Nepal and holds Dudhwa National Park, so blocks such as Palia and Nighasan involve long travel and patchy network. At about 7,680 sq km it is the largest district in Uttar Pradesh by area, and a survey agency in Lakhimpur Kheri working there needs an app that records offline and syncs later. Palia, Nighasan, Gola Gokarannath, Sri Nagar and Lakhimpur form the Kheri seat; Dhaurahra, Kasta and Mohammdi go to Dhaurahra. An election survey agency in Lakhimpur Kheri or a political survey company in Lakhimpur Kheri should budget for that split. A market research company in Lakhimpur Kheri will find sugarcane shaping household income, and a data collection agency in Lakhimpur Kheri should plan around the monsoon. Door to door survey agency in Lakhimpur Kheri teams work across 7 tehsils and 15 blocks, and booth management app Lakhimpur Kheri teams can keep booth lists by segment.

Survey company in Sitapur

Lok Sabha

No district in the division is cut more finely. Sitapur's nine segments feed four parliamentary seats: Sitapur, Laharpur, Biswan, Sevata and Mahmoodabad form the Sitapur seat; Maholi and Hargaon go to Dhaurahra; Misrikh, home to the Naimisharanya pilgrimage area, has its own seat; and Sidhauli joins Mohanlalganj next to Lucknow. A political survey company in Sitapur has to weight each piece correctly, and an election survey agency in Sitapur should never report one district number for four seats. With 7 tehsils and 19 blocks on the district list, a survey agency in Sitapur has to keep segment codes on every record or the four seats blur together. A market research company in Sitapur, a data collection agency in Sitapur or a door to door survey agency in Sitapur can use the same household frame. Booth management app Sitapur teams can separate booth work by seat.

Survey company in Unnao

Assembly segments
6
Lok Sabha
Unnao (all 6)
Tehsils / blocks
6 / 16

Unnao lies between Lucknow and Kanpur across the Ganga, so its towns mix commuters, tannery and industrial workers with a large farming population. All six segments, Bangarmau, Safipur, Mohan (SC), Unnao, Bhagwantnagar and Purwa, make up the Unnao seat, one of the few Lok Sabha seats in the state with six segments. A political survey company in Unnao can therefore read district and seat from one frame, and an election survey agency in Unnao should sample the highway belt apart from the interior. A market research company in Unnao can study both urban and village buyers in one round. Across 6 tehsils and 16 blocks, a survey agency in Unnao or a data collection agency in Unnao has to record visit outcomes for every household to keep coverage honest. Door to door survey agency in Unnao projects need town and village quotas, and booth management app Unnao users can track booth committees by segment.

Survey company in Raebareli

Assembly segments
6
Lok Sabha
Rae Bareli, Amethi (Salon)
Blocks
18

Raebareli lost Tiloi to the new Amethi district in 2010, and today five of its segments, Bachhrawan, Harchandpur, Rae Bareli, Sareni and Unchahar, form the Rae Bareli seat, while Salon votes in Amethi. A political survey company in Raebareli that ignores Salon will misread the seat. The district is also home to the Modern Coach Factory at Lalganj and an NTPC plant at Unchahar, so a market research company in Raebareli meets salaried households alongside farmers. The district office lists 6 tehsils and 18 blocks, and a survey agency in Raebareli covering the Rae Bareli seat still sends a separate team into Salon for the Amethi side. An election survey agency in Raebareli, a data collection agency in Raebareli or a door to door survey agency in Raebareli gets GPS and time evidence on each visit, and booth management app Raebareli teams can assign booth work by segment.

FAQ

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

Why not sample Lucknow division district by district?

Because parliamentary seats here cross district lines. Misrikh draws on Hardoi, Sitapur and Kanpur Nagar; Dhaurahra on Kheri and Sitapur. A district-based sample cannot be re-weighted cleanly to those seats. Sampling by assembly segment lets us report by district, seat or the whole division from the same data.

Can interviews be done where there is no mobile network?

Yes. The Android app works offline, stores location and time on the device and syncs when network returns. That is common in the Terai blocks of Lakhimpur Kheri near the Nepal border and in parts of interior Sitapur and Hardoi.

Do you have a local office in Lucknow division?

No. We do not claim offices or standing teams in these districts. For each project we recruit and train enumerators who speak the local language, deploy them to the assigned segments and supervise the work through the dashboard and back-checks.

Is Lucknow district included on this page?

Lucknow is part of the division, but it has a separate city page because its urban wards and assembly segments need a different plan. This page covers Hardoi, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Unnao and Raebareli. A division-wide study can include all six districts.
