Survey of India. General Report 1930 to 1931 From 1st October 1930 to 30th September 1931

1932

Detailed accounts are given of the Basline measurements of the reduction of the Geodetic Trianglation treated iii five portions of the early Pendulum observtions of Telegraphic Longitude and Astronomical Latitude operations of Tidal observations and of Levelling of high precision. [...] PREFACE THE WORK OF THE SURVEY OF INDIA The department is primarily responsible for all topographical surveys and explorations and for the maintenance of geographical maps of the greater part of Southern Asia. [...] Indian geodesy has thus disclosed by far the largest known anmalies of gravitational attraction in the earth's crust and these have led to some of the most important developments of modern geodetic research whilst the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India enjoys all international reputation for its very valuable contributions to estimates of the size and figure of the earth. [...] Owing to the serious financial situation of the country this year vast economics and reorganisation of the Survey of India have become imperative the consequence of which will result in considerable retardation of work in the future and the completion of the series will not now be possible before 1950. [...] The undertaking of such work by a regular survey unit during the past few years has resulted in the training of a number of young surveyors in Alpine technique which should prove of value in the mapping of Himalayan areas in the future.
