Role of Modern Ryotwari System

Abstract

The Britishers introduced many land revenue reforms in order to increase their wealth. Among these reforms modern Ryotwari system occupied an important place because it introduced many changes in the land related problems and replaced the defects of Roytwari system of 1814. The two obvious defects of the Ryotwari System of 1814 were found in the classification of land, methods of survey and over assessment. Among the two obvious defects the over assessment made or caused many of the inhabitants had fled the district. After that the government introduced many relief measures. Though these were benefited by only a few.
