| This is a story of the construction of the Rajasthan canal and efforts being undertaken to transform this dry desert into green pastures. The land of Rajasthan is very fertile, but because of scarce water resources it has not been able to grow anything. The regaining of the lost fertility of the desolate tract of Rajasthan required herculean efforts. Due to the skill and vigour of engineers and workers, water has been brought from Himalayas to the sandy and arid areas in Rajasthan. | ||
