What Does Assam Really Want? The Raijor Raai Study Breaks It Down

Guwahati, Assam — April 21, 2026: Independent data analytics and research group Genius30 has unveiled the results of "Raijor Raai – The People’s Perspective," a comprehensive public opinion study. By gathering input from more than 50,000 verified individuals across 126 assembly segments in Assam, the project stands as one of the most significant data-backed sentiment analyses ever undertaken in the region.

Spanning multiple phases, the survey encompassed a wide range of geographic areas, including Upper, Middle, and Lower Assam. The research team utilized a mix of digital platforms and telephonic outreach to connect with participants, ensuring a balanced representation from both semi-urban and urban centers.

To maintain high standards of data integrity, the organization employed a multi-layered verification process that included consistency analysis, duplication checks, and respondent validation. This substantial sample size provided the researchers with a comprehensive view of opinions across various socio-economic backgrounds, professions, and age demographics.

Technology-Led Research Framework

A team of data professionals and engineers spearheaded the project, creating a scalable system for auditing and collecting data. This framework prioritized automation and real-time validation to reduce manual bias and improve overall precision.

By approaching the initiative as a data engineering challenge, Genius30 aimed to construct a structured dataset that captures on-the-ground sentiment with transparency and measurability.

Key Observations from the Study

The data reveals a growing emphasis among respondents on practical, development-focused issues. The primary areas of concern identified include:

• Infrastructure development and road connectivity
• Employment opportunities and transparent recruitment processes
• Ease of doing business and support for entrepreneurship
• Administrative efficiency and service delivery
• Education, skill development, and youth opportunities

Additionally, the study noted significant participation from younger demographics, especially first-time respondents. This group showed a clear preference for long-term growth indicators and tangible, measurable outcomes.

Emphasis on Data Transparency and Insights

Genius30 states that the primary goal of this research is to establish a scalable, reliable model for gauging public opinion through the use of technology-based tools.

"This initiative was designed as a large-scale data exercise to better understand citizen priorities through structured and verifiable inputs," said Nitesh Pandey, Co-lead at Genius30.

"Our approach focuses on ensuring that large datasets can be collected and analysed in a way that remains transparent, unbiased, and useful for broader research and analytical purposes," added Rajat Agnihotri, Co-lead of the organisation.
