Tidbits : The Ryotwari Settlement was a revenue collection system introduced by the British in parts of India. Under this system, the government settled revenue directly with the ryot (cultivator). There were no intermediaries like zamindars in this system, unlike the Zamindari System. Alexander Reed began early experiments with this type of settlement, and subsequently, Thomas Munro played a significant role in its implementation and expansion, particularly in the Madras Presidency.
