Question

Throw some light on different surveys conducted during colonial era.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The practice of surveying became common throughout the colonial administration because the British reflected that a country had to be precisely known before it could be efficiently governed. Comprehensive surveys were carried out by the colonial leaders to map the complete land.

The following are the two examples of surveying:

1. Land survey: the colonial administration began the survey of land to implement their policy of revenue accumulation. Under this survey, the land was classified in various categories.

2. Census was another form of surveying, this was adopted to know the religion and caste of the Indian population.
