N2  - It is generally said that the non-government organization sponsored activities are functioning  better than the government assisted activities. The present study does not cover the various  aspects in detail. But in this comparative study two different irrigation systems are studied  considering the system management activities and the intervention strategies used.  The study was conducted in Andhi Khola Irrigation System (AK.IS, a non-government  assisted) and Lamage Phant Irrigation System (LPIS, a government assisted) in western hilly  region of Nepal. The questionnaire survey and other informal survey methods were carried out  during the study.  The findings of the study showed that the AK.IS has better water distribution, internal resource  generation, and higher gross production value per household. The Andhi Khola system  showing better for solving longitudinal inequity (head-tail) problems than Lamage Phant does.  The change in cropping intensity after the assistance program in AK.IS and LPIS is 72 % and  37 % respectively. The increase in gross production value per hectare in AK.IS and LPIS is  NRs 24,124 (US$ 355) and NRs 16,823 (US$ 247) respectively. The intervention strategies  used by the non-government and government are highly appreciated in principle but less  satisfied in practice.
