The Indira Gandhi Canal is a major step in reclaiming the Thar Desert and checking desertification of fertile areas. There is a planting programme for greening the desert in areas near the Indira Gandhi Canal which was started in 1965. This consists of the planting of shelter belts along roads and canals, blocks of plantations and sand dune stabilization. The tree species being used for planting are "Dalbergia sissoo", "Eucalyptus tereticornis", "Eucalyptus camaldulensis", "Morus alba", "Tecomella undulata", "Acacia tortilis", "Azadirachta indica", "Albizia lebbeck", "Cassia fistula", "Populus ciliata", "Melia azedarach", and "Vachellia nilotica".
