Abstract
IN considering a title for this paper my first thought was to call it Survey of India since the partition of Further reflection showed that this would be misleading; it would indicate that the big changes in policy in the employment and organization of the Survey of India were the result of the termination of British rule and the partition of India. In fact they were not, but have resulted far more from economic and world conditions arising since the war than from political changes in India itself. The partition of India and the termination of British rule altered the area of responsibility of the Survey of India and caused serious difficulties by the departure of experienced British officers; it did not however affect the general lines on which the Survey of India was working, except perhaps to increase potential demands for cadastral surveys from areas which had formerly been ruled by Indian princes. Of this I shall have more to say later.
