Answer:
The main purpose of the survey was to find a navigable waterway from Calcutta to the northern regions. In 1767 Lord Robert Clive, the then Governor of Bengal and Bihar, appointed him as surveyor-general of the East India Company's dominions in Bengal. After this Rennell was always accompanied by a company of Sepoys.
