The Department of Civil Engineering successfully conducted a field visit for the 2078 batch specializing in Irrigation and Drainage Engineering from Magh 17 to 20, 2081. The visit aimed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications by allowing students to study major irrigation projects firsthand. During the visit, students had the opportunity to study three major irrigation projects: the Bagmati Irrigation Project, the Narayani Lift Irrigation Project, and the Khageri Irrigation Project.

At the Bagmati Irrigation Project students examined headworks, the western main canal, desilting basins, cross drainage structures, head regulators, canal falls, and outlets, gaining insights into system design and maintenance. In the Khageri Irrigation System they observed river training works and diversion headworks, understanding their role in water distribution and flood control. At Narayani Lift Irrigation Project the visit included an in-depth look at the intake system and pump house, where students learned about the mechanisms involved in lifting water for irrigation.

The visit was led by Er. Ramesh Bala, Er. Bibek Thapa, Er. Bikesh Khatri, Er. Gaurav Bhusal, Er. Aenish Dyopala, and Er. Riya Shrestha, who provided expert guidance throughout the trip. Interacting with technical personnel allowed students to better understand the planning, operation, and challenges of irrigation systems in Nepal. Such hands-on experiences are crucial in reinforcing theoretical knowledge, ensuring students are well-prepared for real-world engineering challenges.
