Explanation:

The Ryotwari System aimed to maximize the revenue collection for the British, rather than improving the conditions of the peasantry. Under this system, the peasants, or 'ryots,' were recognized as the owners of the land, but they were directly liable to the British government for the payment of land revenue.
