Detailed Solution

The British thought surveys were important for effective administration. Under colonial rule, surveying was an important practice that spread in India. The British believed that before a nation could be effectively managed, it needed to be known well. In-depth surveys were conducted to map the entire nation by the early nineteenth century. Revenue surveys were done in the villages. The objective was to get knowledge of geography, soil composition, flora and fauna, local histories, and cropping patterns—all the information deemed necessary to manage the area.
