How constituents rate their representative, ward by ward and issue by issue
An MLA report card shows how people in a constituency see their elected representative: whether they know who the MLA is, how they rate work on roads, water, schools and jobs, and what they want done next. Bharat Survey builds MLA and MP report card surveys from random household interviews in the local language, verified by GPS and time, and reports results by block or ward with sample sizes printed beside every score.
- Awareness measured before any rating
- Ratings by issue, not one popularity score
- Block and ward-level results
- Same method for any representative or party

What gets scored
A useful MLA survey report breaks performance into parts people can judge from their own experience.
Accessibility
ContactHas the household tried to meet the MLA or their office, and was it possible?
Local works
DeliveryRatings on roads, drainage, water, electricity, schools and health centres in the respondent's area.
Grievance help
ServiceWhether people who asked for help with a certificate, pension or scheme got a response.
Priorities
IssuesUnprompted top problems, so the report shows what matters, not just scores on a fixed list.
Overall rating
SummaryAsked last, after specific items, so it reflects considered judgement rather than name recognition.
Our view on report cards
Method
An MP performance survey covers a Lok Sabha constituency, which usually spans several assembly segments. The sample is spread so each segment can be read on its own.
Sample
Random households in every segment
Polling-station areas drawn at random within each assembly segment, then households by fixed interval. No voter-list personal data.
- Segment-wise bases
- Urban and rural mix

Before elections
A candidate report card survey compares how several possible candidates are known and perceived in a seat. It measures name recognition, perceived accessibility and association with local work, among a random sample of residents.
We report these findings as group-level evidence, not a verdict. Surveys can't measure a candidate's integrity or organisational strength, and the report says so. Decisions stay with whoever commissioned the study.
Who commissions report cards
Representatives who want honest mid-term feedback, parties reviewing their seats, civil society groups tracking accountability, and media organisations. Every client receives the same neutral method, and we don't publicise client names.
Report includes
- Awareness and rating by block or segment
- Issue-wise scores with bases

FAQ
Straight answers to the questions people ask most about this topic.
What is an MP report card?
An MP report card is a summary of how constituents in a Lok Sabha seat rate their Member of Parliament on awareness, accessibility, local works and priorities, based on a survey of residents. It reflects public perception on the fieldwork dates, not an audit of spending or parliamentary activity.
How many interviews does an MLA report card need?
Enough to report each block or ward cluster you care about. Around 1,000 random interviews gives roughly ±3 points on a constituency-wide share before clustering effects; smaller units need their own adequate bases, which we set in the proposal.
Will the representative know who answered?
No. Responses are anonymous and results are reported only for groups. We don't share names, phone numbers or household-level answers with clients.
Can report card results be published?
Yes, if the client chooses, with the method, sample size and fieldwork dates disclosed. During elections, publication must respect ECI rules, including the 48-hour silence period under Section 126 for electronic media.
