Question

The teacher informed the students that in order to remove the drawbacks of the Permanent Settlement, a British officer introduced the Ryotwari system in which the government decided to take land revenue directly from the farmers. What was the name of that British officer?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The system was devised by Capt. Alexander Read and Thomas (later Sir Thomas) Munro at the end of the 18th century and introduced by the latter when he was governor (1820–27) of Madras (now Chennai). The principle was the direct collection of the land revenue from each individual cultivator by government agents.
