Back in 1954, India conducted a scaled and scientific measurement and announced the height of Mount Everest as 8,848.86 metres. Now the revised height stood at 8,848.86 meters.
It has been widely reported that to measure the revised height the surveyors went for scaled measurement and scientific research. The measurement exercise was conducted in six rounds.
