Chunian Colony (1896-1898): Emerging in the Lahore district, it initially employed an auction system for land allocation. Chenab Colony (1892-onwards): Encompassing vast regions, including Lyallpur, Jhang, Gujranwala, and Lahore, diverse grant types catered to various objectives and qualifications. Jhelum Colony (1902-1906): Originating in the Shahpur district, it shifted from agrarian excellence to horse breeding for the army, resulting in redefined grant conditions. Lower Bari Doab Colony (1914-1924): Active in Montgomery and Multan, it factored in horse breeding, military land, indigenous groups, peasants, and lower castes. Upper Chenab and Upper Jhelum Colonies: Though smaller in scale, they were vital in transporting water to the Lower Bari Doab Colony, addressing historical gaps. Nili Bar Colony (1926-incomplete): Reserved land for pensioned service members, indigenous groups, and landless individuals encountering economic challenges.
