Why were revenue surveys were conducted by british officers?

Answer 1

hala mate,

Detailed surveys were carried out by the British to map all of India, and revenue surveys (to decide how much tax was to be collected from where) were conducted in villages in order to know the topography, the quality of soil, flora, fauna, cropping patterns, etc.

By the end of the 19th century, the British had started conducting census operations which provided information about the distribution of population in different provinces, castes, religions, and their occupations.
