Due to unfavourable conditions like high atmospheric temperature, less rainfall, transportation of sandy dunes and lack of moisture, the desert of Rajasthan was unfertile and barren and so it was considered a curse for the state. But after the discovery of reserves of mineral oil, gas and coal, it became prosperous. And the Indira Gandhi water canal project has made it green. Now, farming and plantation is done in this area, therefore it is now proving to be a boon for the state in the present time.
