Detailed Solution

The above statement is False:
The British failed in their attempt to settle jhum cultivators. Cultivating with a plough was challenging in places with hardly any water and dry soil. Due to their fields' low yields, jhum cultivators who switched to plough cultivation frequently suffered. As a result, the north-east Indian jhum cultivators insisted on continuing with their custom method. After intense opposition, the British permitted them to continue shifting cultivation in some parts of the forest areas. The British wanted them to settle for their advantages, but they were unable to do so for the above-mentioned reasons.
The correct statement would be the British failed in their attempt to settle jhum cultivators.
