Case Study: Indira Gandhi Canal Command Area
This Class 12 Geography topic examines the Indira Gandhi Canal Command Area as a case study within Planning and Sustainable Development in the Indian Context. Students learn how canal irrigation transformed parts of north-western Rajasthan by supporting agriculture, settlement, and regional development. They also study the planning process, changes in land use and livelihoods, and challenges such as waterlogging, soil salinity, drainage problems, and ecological pressure. The topic helps students assess both the benefits and limits of large-scale development projects.
