The Ryotwari system was one of the main methods of land revenue collection in British India. Here's what it's associated with:

• Land Revenue Collection: This was its primary function. The British government collected taxes directly from the ryots (peasants or cultivators) who owned the land. This system contrasted with the Zamindari system, where taxes were collected through intermediaries called Zamindars.
• Individual Land Ownership: The Ryotwari system recognized individual cultivators as the owners of their land. As long as they paid the revenue, they could retain ownership.
• Areas of Implementation: The system was prevalent in parts of British India, including Madras, Bombay, parts of Assam, and Coorg provinces.
