The Geological Survey of India is a scientific agency under the Ministry of Mines of the Government of India. It was officially established on 4 March 1851, and Thomas Oldham, professor of geology at Trinity College, took charge as its first official surveyor the next day. It was the second survey agency set up in British India, after the Survey of India, which dates from 1767. The name was first used in an 1847 to 1848 report of the committee that investigated the coal and mineral resources of India. The agency conducts geological surveys, and it is the primary provider of geological information to government departments, agencies and the public.
