Some farmer wants more water from canal but they are binding in rule and regulations and Chitaidar regularly monitor the irrigated water. The theory “Tragedy of Commons” argues that people want more water and they always want to break the rule for irrigation water. But in this Irrigation Project the theory “Tragedy of Commons” is not applicable because if the common property is utilized properly by individuals, project is well maintained. The people involvement is vital in maintaining the order. There is also exception that Chairperson of this project is continuing till the project start which may have some positive and negative attribute but people have rights to change their leadership in general assembly, but people are satisfied and continuing their leadership. There is good operation and Maintenance fund collection system in justifiable manner in the ropani basis. Now there is Nrs. 200.00 per ropani collection system as operation and Maintenance fund. This fund is utilized for the payment to wages for Chitaidar and minor repair and maintenance of canal. There is Nrs. 5,00,000.00 (five lakh rupees) in the fixed deposit in Janahit Cooperatives and more than one lakh in the saving account. There is a commercial vegetable farm established after completion of the project. There is more than 12 farmers, who profit more than Nrs. 3,00,000.00 (Three Lakh Rupees), which shows the successful impact of the project.
