Under the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Survey of India (SOI) was set up in :

  • A.1767
  • B.1757
  • C.1777
  • D.1787

Answer: A

The Survey of India was set up in 1767.

The Survey of India, the national mapping agency now under the Department of Science and Technology, traces its origin to 1767, when the East India Company appointed Major James Rennell as Surveyor General of Bengal. It is one of the oldest scientific departments of the government.

1757 is the year of the Battle of Plassey, and 1777 and 1787 are not founding years of the Survey.
