________ introduced the daroga system, replacing zamindari thanedars under the direct control of the district head and on its payroll.
The correct answer is Lord Cornwallis.
This code is significant because it attempted to separate revenue administration from the administration of justice. While the Permanent Settlement dealt with land revenue, the code also included reforms in the civil and criminal justice systems and the police administration. The daroga system was a direct outcome of these police reforms, aimed at establishing a more effective mechanism for maintaining law and order under direct British control.
