It is said that Pandit Nehru was a great fond of the Bhakra-Bhakra-Bhakra-Nangal Canal Project. He went 10 times during this project.

Nehru had built them the main engineer of the Bhakra project.
13000 people, 300 Engineers, 30 specialists
To meet the Bhakra project as soon as possible, 13,000 people were employed. It included 300 Indian engineers and 30 experts were enclosed from outside.
