тАв Ryotwari System was introduced by Thomas Munro in 1820.
тАв This was the primary land revenue system in South India.
Major areas of introduction include Madras, Bombay, parts of Assam and Coorg provinces of British India.
тАв In Ryotwari System the ownership rights were handed over to the peasants. British Government collected taxes directly from the peasants.
тАв The revenue rates of the Ryotwari System were 50% where the lands were dry and 60% in irrigated land.
тАв Though ownership of land was vested with the farmers, excessive tax impoverished them. Furthermore, the tax rates were frequently increased.
