Chandra canal is oldest Government managed irrigation system during Rana regime. The gross command area under Chandra Canal Irrigation System is 13,700 ha. and the net command area is around 10,000 ha. That is considered as fertile land. It was constructed during 1923-1927 AD by British Engineer. Local materials and manpower were used for the construction. As per the local inquiry made, the earthwork of all the canal system had been done by voluntary contribution and all structural work by the government agency.
