Answer :
There were various reasons that the British felt the need to survey in India which were-
• As they expanded their trade in India to gain profit, they surveyed so that they can analyse how much they had expanded and record it for their benefit.
• After surveying, it became easy for the British in terms of revenue collection and to map all the places.
• Survey of the land helped them to know about the important states and the number of princely states.
• It became easy for them to administer the different states.
