		In Mahakali Irrigation Project (Stage I), a large surface irrigation project administered by the government, the farmers were organized hierarchically from the lowest hydraulic unit (tertiary level) to the main system level.

		I consider the main strength of West Gandak management transfer experimentation is its ability to relearn from the history and successful experience of the indigenous FMIS organizational system and its processes.
