Bhojpur. Bhojpur: The construction of a concrete irrigation well has made it easier for the residents of Bhangeri of Bhojpur municipality-6. The construction of a pucca well at a cost of Rs 5.3 million, including shramdaan at the initiative of the ward, has made it easier for the farmers who have been facing water crisis for years.
Ward Chair Shailendra Karki said that the Odare-Bhandare irrigation well has been constructed with the cost sharing of the central government, state government, Swiss government and local government. According to him, 923 meters of irrigation well has been constructed here with the budget received in partnership.
“The farmers here had a lot of problems due to lack of irrigation wells,” he said, adding, “We had been demanding a well many times targeting this area.” After a long time, we have been able to build the well. This has directly benefited the farmers here. ’
Ward Chair Karki said that this well will provide irrigation facility to 500 ropanis of land of about 50 to 60 households in the winter and rainy season. He said that the construction of irrigation wells would help in agricultural production as there is a lot of fertile land here.
Rudra Bahadur Koirala, a local, said that the construction of irrigation well has made farming easier. He said that the problem of irrigation for generations has ended after the construction of Odare and Bhandare Wells. He said that after the construction of the well, there is a situation to bring water from odare rivulet and cultivate it on time.
“The problem of lack of irrigation wells is not possible,” he said, adding, “We had to depend on sky water for cultivation.” It was difficult to keep the seeds in the field. Due to water, there was a fight with the neighbor almost every day. Now it has become easier for us after the construction of irrigation wells. We have been able to cultivate on time. After a long time, the dream of irrigation well has been fulfilled. We are very happy. ’
Rita Koirala, a local farmer, said that the construction of the well would make it easier to cultivate vegetables and cash crops during the winter along with paddy crop cultivation. According to him, after the construction of the well, a situation has been created to bring water from the river to the field in 10 minutes. He said that the work done at the initiative of the ward has made the daily life of the farmers easier. According to him, the expansion of irrigation has added energy at a time when the fields are becoming barren due to lack of irrigation.
Pradeep Tamang, chairman of the Well Construction Users’ Committee, said that the construction work has been completed and the water has been operated. He said that the expansion of irrigation facilities in his village has increased the enthusiasm. He said that the construction of the well has ended the situation of farmers looking at the sky for cultivation in drought.
“There was a lot of problem in the construction of this well due to geographical remoteness,” he said, adding, “There was a lot of risk as the well had to be expanded from the cliff.” We all consumers have completed the construction on time. It has become easier for us to construct irrigation wells. ’
