Robert Clive, the governor of Bengal appointed native agencies who helped him collect the revenues on behalf of the Company. However, this system failed when Clive left India in 1767.
They hence forced the peasants to pay heavy dues as land taxes and forced artisans to sell their goods at very cheap rates. This drove the peasants and artisans away from their villages, which consequently led to a decline in the production of artisanal goods and agricultural crops. The economy of Bengal collapsed.
Bengal was struck by a terrible famine in 1770, which killed ten million people. The company therefore introduced many land revenue systems. In 1793, the Permanent Settlement system was introduced by Lord Cornwallis, the Governor-General of India.
