Ryotwari settlement was primarily introduced in the Madras Presidency and parts of Bombay Presidency, not in the Gangetic valley and the North-West Provinces.

The settlement under the Ryotwari system was not revised periodically. It involved fixing the revenue for a specific period (usually 20 to 40 years) without frequent revisions.

The Ryotwari system did not introduce the concept of peasant ownership. Instead, individual peasants, known as ryots, were recognized as the owners of their cultivated land, but they had to pay the land revenue directly to the British government.

Therefore, statement 2 is correct, while statements 1 and 3 are not correct
