Sir Ganga Ram, a visionary who established the first hydro power station in Renala near Lahore, Pakistan. A success story that laid foundation for Pakistans hydro power generation using rivers and canal system. Sorry the commentary is in Urdu, not English, but the essence is when Sir Ganga Ram was awarded a vast barren land he wanted to irrigate this land using the canal system. He envisioned building a hydro power station on the canal itself and pump the water to his land at a higher ground. He turned his barren land into lush green land using his vision and will power. It is amazing to know that this power station that was built in 1937 is still functioning and produces electricity fifteen times cheaper than current systems.
