In 1925 the late Sir Ganga Ram, Kt., C.I. E., M.V.O., R. B., Lahore, with
that generosity for which he was so well known, handed over to the Punjab Govern-
ment a sum of Rs. 25,000 for the endowment of a prize of the value of Rs. 3,000
to be called the Maynard-Ganga Ram Prize and to be awarded every three years,
for a discovery, or an invention, or a new practical method which will tend to increase
agricultural production in the Punjab on a paying basis. The competition is open
to all throughout the world. Government servants are also eligible to compete for
it.

Applications for the next award were invited by the 31st December, 1932. The
response was, however, poor and it has been decided by the Managing Committee
of the above-mentioned prize that the award should be postponed for another
year and that further applications should reach the Director of Agriculture. Punjab,
Lahore, on or before the 31st December, 1933.
