The Ryotwari system was a land revenue system in British India, introduced by Thomas Munro in 1820 based on system administered by Captain Alexander Read in the Baramahal district. 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.

The 2 main features were:

  • It tried to eliminate the influence of the intermediaries, that is the middle men in the collection of land revenue.
  • It tried to extract revenue directly from the Ryots, that is the villagers. 4.3. 116 votes. 116 votes. Thanks 122. sonabrainly. Genius.
