The long main canal has been completed. The distributary system of the canal is about 9000 km. Out of these, 6000 km. Distributors have been made. Presently, 10 lakh hectares of land have come under the irrigation area of ​​the project. After the completion of the project, a total of 15.79 lakh hectares of land in the region will be benefitted from irrigation, which will generate 3.5 million tonnes of food grains, 3 million tonnes of commercial crops, and 6 million tonnes of grass. A total of 5 lakh families will settle in the project area. Towns and many villages in Jodhpur, Bikaner, Churu, and Barmer districts will be provided with drinking water supplied by various “lift projects” from the canal.
