Correct Answer: Sir Thomas Munro


Solution : The correct answer is Sir Thomas Munro.

In 1820, under the governance of Sir Thomas Munro, the Ryotwari settlement was initiated. This settlement system allowed peasants to have ownership of their land and gave them the liberty to sell, mortgage or gift their land as they desired. The peasants paid their land revenue directly to the government. The Ryotwari settlement system was implemented in Madras and areas of Bombay.
