Always have the following questions in your questionnaire.

Introduction: the right introduction to the survey can set the tone of the survey and is often
helpful in making the respondent understand why the survey is crucial and how it will help
her/him in return.
Identifiers: name, age, fathers name and location.
Consent: most surveys in India require organizations to seek the beneficiarys consent. Its a
good ethical practice.
Open-ended fields: ask for any information that might not be captured by the specific question
types.
Validations: information like GPS and time taken to validate whether the questionnaire was
filled correctly
The 8 main question types that can be used for surveys;
1) Text
This is the most open-ended type of question. One can type in anything. It is ideal to use
this type of question to collect a persons name or to collect qualitative information such
as Any other feedback.
Example: What is your name?
2) Dichotomous (Yes/No, True/False)
Dichotomous questions seek a binary response to a question.
Example: Do you love to read? A. Yes B. No
3) Numerical
This is used to capture numbers. Numerical questions should only be used to collect
specific numbers that cannot be confined into certain ranges.
Example: How many times do you jog in a month? (numbers only)
4) Multiple Choice Questions
This is the most frequently-used question type. This can be single-select or multiple
select based on the need of the question. Multiple choice questions (or MCQs) are highly
recommended, since they reduce the chances of capturing the wrong information.
Example (single-select multiple choice): What is your current education status?
Uneducated Primary Secondary Senior Secondary Graduate Post-graduate
Doctorate
When creating options in an MCQ, it is very important that all options are mutually
exclusive but collectively exhaustive.
5) Tabular / Roster
6) Scale
This question type is generally used to record preferences, opinions and ratings.
For example, you can use scale for capturing information on how good a particular class
was. This question could use a 5-point scale question: Bad, Fair, Good, Very Good,
Excellent.
7) Media Questions (Shall be vital for compliance survey like some picture insertion of
building technology)
Sometimes you want to capture information like pictures, audio, or drawings. If you are
using mobile-based technology, you can use media questions to verify captured
information.
8) Maps and Timestamps
If you are using mobile-based technology, it is also possible to capture geo-coordinates
and time-stamps to enrich your data and make it more verifiable.
