Suratgarh is a city and a municipality in Ganganagar
district in
the Indian state of Rajasthan. Akashwani Suratgarh broadcasts on
918 kHz with a 300 kw radio transmitter. It has been given the name
"Cotton city channel".
Suratgarh
was a significant arena of historical incidences in the ancient past. The city
was once called Sodal. Around 3000 BC Suratgarh is believed to have been a
lush, green place due to the presence of two big rivers, Sarasvati and Drishadvati. Present sand possessed various botanical
and zoological species within the basins of chaste Sarasvati and Drishvati. The
emergence of Kalibangan and Barod civilizations were
facilitated by the geographical and environmental complements of the Sarasvati,
and Suratgarh was a noteworthy testimony of this. The traces of ancient
civilization near Rangmahal, Manaksaar and Amarpura show the historical significance
of Suratgarh where Sarasvati civilization has receded after 1500 years of
stability.
Suratgarh
developed greatly under the rule of Maharaja Ganga Singh who built a hunting
lodge at Suratgarh and ensured the connectivity of Suratgarh to train service.
Hanumangarh and Bikaner came under the Suratgarh District when the district was
established. Establishment of the Ganges canal in 1927 helped Suratgarh
develop; it became a city after partition when various refugees from Pakistan
came in and started settling there. Suratgarh Central State Farm was
established in 1956, followed with the establishment of the Indira Gandhi Canal
project and Central Animal Reproduction Farm in the 1960s. Meanwhile an air and
military base station, Akashvani and various offices had been established.
Suratgarh Thermal Power Station started working from 3 November 1998 and this
laid down one more milestone in the progress of Suratgarh city.
It
has a thermal power plant of 1500 MW and a PLF of 93%, which has won an award
for one of the best-operated plants in India. The industry experienced acute
growth with the construction of the thermal power plant and its residential
buildings. Since then the industry has been growing quickly. With the reducing
demands as a result of completion of the thermal power plant project, bricks
from Suratgarh are now supplied to various parts of Rajasthan especially to the
districts of Churu and Jhunjhunu.

SKILL
Earth
God has given such a beautiful gift
That is our Earth
But what has happened
The Earth has been polluted
Oh! Why can’t we keep the earth clean
And save ourselves.
Earth is our
life,
Without it we are not fine.
So take care
of Earth,
And save it
for your pleasure.
Save the Earth
And save
yourself from being lost.

Air Pollution
Air is one of
the most important aspect that is required to survive. We breathe air thousands
and millions of time in a day. If we will not breathe a single minute then we
will die. The pollution of air due to over use of vehicles, etc. has led to
this air being polluted. The pollution of air is a major problem rising all
around the world. It is not only causing damage to environment but also causing
a number of disease and major damage to National heritages and monuments. It is
tit for tat, today we are not caring for environment but soon a day will come
when environment will laugh on us and will not care for us. So it is better
that we change with time otherwise time will change us. We should at least
plant one tree in a year and care for it. I guarantee that soon 121 crore
people of India will give rise to 121 crore trees in a year which will not only
free us from pollution but also will give us fruits, paper, etc. So we should
understand our duties and take steps towards it to save mother Earth and humanity.-Anumesh Rao/ IX/ GH
