Shivaji Maharaj’s policy regarding agriculture.

Answer 1

Shivaji Maharaj's warned the officers that they should not collect more revenue than the amount that was fixed. He encouraged peasants to bring uncultivated land under cultivation. If the crop was lost due to excessive rains or drought or if an enemy army had devasted the area of the village, remissions were granted in land revenue and other taxes. Maharaj had instructed his officers to provide peasants with bullocks ploughing good seeds for sowing.
