Ganga Singh

Ganga Singh raised the Bikaner Camel Corps, a military unit that served in the British Indian Army. The corps fought in the Second Afghan War, the Boxer Rebellion, and World War I, gaining a reputation for effectiveness in desert warfare.

Maharaja Ganga Singh initiated the construction of the Ganga Canal (later renamed the Gang Canal) to irrigate the arid regions of Bikaner. The project, completed in 1927, transformed the region's agriculture and economy.

Maharaja Ganga Singh was the sole Indian representative at the Paris Peace Conference after World War I. He signed the Treaty of Versailles on behalf of India, marking India's first appearance as a separate entity in international diplomacy.

Ganga Singh was elected the first Chancellor of the Chamber of Princes, a consultative body for Indian princely states. He used this position to negotiate with the British government on matters of princely sovereignty and constitutional reforms.

Ganga Singh was appointed as a member of the League of Nations Council, representing India. He served on various committees, including the Permanent Mandates Commission, and advocated for Indian interests on the global stage.
