摘要

The field of geodetic sciences in India began with the Great Trigonometrical Survey (GTS) and Arc on 10 April 1802. This bicentenary, a landmark, in the history of science in India is being celebrated from 10 April 2002 for a full year. The Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India has proposed a series of activities for commemorating this event (Box 1). Going back to about the 1800s, little was known about the earth's size and shape. Accurate maps were non-existent. What helped to change this were the surveys conducted by the Survey of India, one of the oldest in the world. The Survey of India began its operations in 1767 with the commencement of the Bengal Surveys. Major James Rennel was the first Surveyor General of Bengal Survey.
