Question

Why did cultivators under the British land settlement system have no motivation to improve agricultural productivity?

विकल्प

• They were already using the most advanced technology available

• They were guaranteed fixed incomes by the British government

• They had no incentive to improve agricultural productivity

• They earned such high profits that further effort was unnecessary

Answer 1

Cultivators had no incentive to improve agricultural productivity. Surplus was extracted as rent and revenue, and the British government did nothing to improve their condition, so better farming brought them no reward.
