Solution

Ganganagar

Explanation:

The building of the Rajasthan Canal, today known as the Indira Gandhi Canal, began in Ganganagar district. The canal was designed to bring irrigation to Rajasthan’s arid regions, transforming deserts into fertile agricultural grounds. Ganganagar was chosen for the initial phase due to its proximity to the Sutlej River, the canal’s main water supply.
