History

[edit]

In the context of Nepal, concept and management of irrigation development has started in the collective activism and participation of local farmers than the state. It seems that the state is interested in irrigation as early as the basis of raising water or irrigation in the state system and controlling the society based on the economy provided economy. It seems that the local government has started regulating the beginning of the Shah-e-era in relation to the traditional irrigation area, which has been constructed, operated and managed, based on its own source, skill and technology. State Government of India Beginning in 1922 (1979 B.S.), the construction started. Chandra Nahar Canal irrigation system completed in 1928 (1985 B.S.) is the first modern irrigation system built from the state. Apart from this, in 1950 (2007 B.S.), before the patronage of democracy, the Jamshed Canal (Manushmaara) in Saralahi district, Jagirdashpur dam in Kapilavastu and Pargi dam in Pokhara were started.

Due to the lack of human power related to human rights, there should be a direct contribution to the state's limited contribution only due to the dependence on foreign manpower, and from the district structure rather than the different structure of the organization.

The challenge to confirm the basis of justification, achievement and achievement of establishment of separate irrigation from the Ministry of Water is not going to cross the federal form, as it is preparing for conducting irrigation activities in the form of water sources. Last modified two years ago, in the 73 districts across the country, five regional irrigation directorates and irrigation management and underground water irrigation directorate besides the Department of Irrigation and irrigation.
