So as to bring higher level area under irrigation L.I.S. are taken up.

Famous quotes containing the word lift:
“For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
