    The document summarizes reforms made to the land revenue system in Bengal by British official Henry St. George Tucker in the late 18th century. Some key points: 1) Tucker established an individualized Ryotwari system where each landholder was separately assessed based on the quality and productivity of their fields. This distinguished private from state land. 2) Land surveys were conducted to accurately measure fields and assess average crop yields in order to determine fair revenue rates for each plot. 3) The goal was to make assessments more equitable and encourage land improvements by fixing rates for a number of years before reassessment, rather than subjecting peasants to arbitrary taxation.
