Patna: Brihaspathi Technologies carried out a massive live webcasting and surveillance operation during the Bihar Legislative Assembly Elections 2025.
The company enabled real-time monitoring across all 17,307 polling stations, covering 10 districts and deploying more than 34,600 cameras on polling day. The entire setup was completed within 30 days and streamed live for 11 to 12 hours, from 5 AM to 8 PM.
A central Integrated Command and Control Centre allowed authorities to track events as they happened and respond without delay.
Extensive District Coverage
The rollout covered 10 districts and included installations at polling stations, counting centers, strong rooms, and other sensitive points. The district distribution was as follows:
Nalanda (5,530 cameras)
Bhagalpur (5,372 cameras)
Katihar (5,084 cameras)
Nawada (4,338 cameras)
Jamui (3,190 cameras)
Munger (2,416 cameras)
Banka (2,246 cameras)
Jehanabad (2,018 cameras)
Lakhisarai (1,808 cameras)
Sheikhpura (1,164 cameras)
In total, 34,634 cameras were installed, taking the cumulative deployment to around 35,500 units.
Strong Technology Backbone
The system relied on integrated tools designed to help authorities manage polling day more effectively. Key features included live webcasting with cloud and disk backup, AI-driven video analytics, and state-level dashboards for quick decision-making.
Assembly-level coordinators handled rapid issue resolution. Brihaspathi worked closely with the Election Commission of India, District Magistrates, Nodal Officers, and telecom partners Jio, Airtel, and BSNL to keep the network running smoothly.
Challenges Managed on Ground
The team faced issues with terrain, low connectivity, and locked school buildings. They handled these by escalating access problems to local authorities, switching between networks, providers when required, and using offline recording in areas with no network. These steps helped maintain uninterrupted coverage through the day.
Acknowledgement From Election Authorities
The Election Commission of India and state CEOs appreciated the role of Brihaspathi Technologies in improving transparency and security during the election.
Rajasekhar Papolu, Managing Director of Brihaspathi Technologies, said, “Delivering a project of this scale within 30 days demanded absolute precision, discipline, and technological excellence. The Bihar Elections 2025 exemplify how digital infrastructure can strengthen democratic processes. Our team is proud to have contributed to transparent and secure polling across the state, and we look forward to advancing election technology across India in the future.”
