Ganga Pur Agriculture Reforms
The great achievement of Sir Ganga Ram is Gangapur agricultural project writes Sir Edward Mclegan Lieutenant governor of the Punjab who visited the Farm in 1920. A special feature of the whole of the Gangapur enterprises was extent to which scientific invention and machinery was used to make the project a gigantic success. Gangapur was the first farm to introduce a mechanical reaper, and ridger, and harrows, scythes, sprays and new type of gardening instruments were among the many modern designed and improved tools used. Agricultural experiments the use of modern mechanical devices with steam and electric power, and village planning on a most practical basis are all unique features, of striking or originality and breath of vision and have made the reputation of the estate, but the real triumph of Gangapur lies in yet another thing, the trolley which connects the estate with the railway station.
