Who introduced the office of the District Collector in 1772 ?
Warren Hastings
In 1772 the East India Company decided to take over revenue collection in Bengal directly, ending the dual system of government.
Warren Hastings, then Governor of Bengal, created the post of the District Collector, who was placed in charge of revenue collection and civil justice in each district.
Cornwallis later separated revenue and judicial functions (1793), while Ripon (1880-84) and Dalhousie (1848-56) came much later, so the office of 1772 belongs to Warren Hastings.
Hence, Warren Hastings.
