Many farmers were disappointed due to lack of irrigation in Baglung Municipality-13 Damakphant. Paddy was planted under sky water. Now the farmers here will get irrigation facility.

This field, where thousands of muri paddy grows, is also known as Satrasaya. The farmers were forced to leave it barren without getting irrigation for years. Due to the irrigation project, their enthusiasm has increased. Currently, the lift irrigation project is under construction here. 

There are about 400 farmers' fields in Damakphant. They have been relying on sky water due to lack of irrigation and said that they got the plan after long efforts. "We have not been able to plant paddy for years, but now there is hope," said Om Bahadur Paudel Chhetri, chairman of the Damakphant Irrigation Project Consumer Committee, "as the contractor has not yet completed the work, there has not been enough irrigation in this rainy season." As the

project has not been completed, some people have not been able to plant paddy this year. Those who were left barren due to lack of irrigation are now hoping to be able to plant. "Now it seems that we will be able to plant rice," local Sita Poudel said, "If the work had been completed on time, we would not have suffered this rain, next year it would have been easy to plant."

Irrigation and water resources management project The work of this project started in 2080 through Kaski. According to the plan, water will be drawn from 4 pipes at the rate of 3 hours every day by constructing a well in Kaligandaki river. The project was not completed after the Papaya BSC Joint Construction Company took the contract at a lower price of almost half the amount in this project costing 3 crores. The contractor company has not yet completed the work that should have been completed last winter.

For immediate irrigation, the farmers have done the work by donating labor. In addition, Ward President Narayan Sharma Poudel said that technical work worth 32 lakh rupees was also done by the consumer. "It is said to be 1700 fields, 17 thousand muri of rice grow here, but there was a lot of trouble due to lack of irrigation, now something will happen," he said. After that, the chairman of the consumer committee said that it will be increased. At present, a 45-feet Samwell has been built in Kaligandaki river. Apart from that, an 85,000 cubic liter step tank has also been built in Kalidhunga by sending water to a height of 485 meters. After taking the water to Paiyumpata, 10 main and 131 small springs will have to be made in Dumkphant through 75 gate balls through the distribution tank.
