The British administrators attach so much importance to survey, mapping and the census Advertisement because they want to know where Britishers are ruling. How they are controlling the region?

To decide how much tax was to be collected from where is the right answer.

The system of surveying became general under the colonial rule because British considered that a nation had to be accurately known before it could be effectively regulated. Detailed surveys were conducted out by the British officials to map the entire land. In other words, these surveys were being conducted as a part of a colonial policy of revenue collection. The information (about the quality of soil, cropping patterns and flora and fauna) collected by the survey of the land was used to determine the rate of taxes to be imposed on people. The colonial government in India also introduced census operations. The census held at the interval at every ten years. The census was conducted to records information about castes, religions and occupation of people. Therefore, all these information collected from survey or census were kept in mind by the British official while preparing the rate of revenues.
