'''Sikandarpur''' is a village in [[Tadiyawan]] block of [[Hardoi district]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]].<ref name="Census 2011">{{cite web |title=Census of India 2011: Uttar Pradesh District Census Handbook - Hardoi, Part A (Village and Town Directory) |pages=335–52|url=https://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/09/0924_PART_A_DCHB_HARDOI.pdf |website=Census 2011 India|access-date=18 June 2021}}</ref> As of 2011, its population is 2,812, in 493 households.<ref name="Census 2011"/> Located by the [[Sarda Canal]], Sikandarpur's topography varies from flat to gently sloping, and its soil ranges from [[alluvial]] [[silt]]y [[loam]] to mixed silty and [[clay]]ey loam with imperfect drainage.<ref name="Usar">{{cite journal |last1=Singh |first1=Daman |last2=Bajaj |first2=Manjul |title=Usar (Sodic) Soils in Uttar Pradesh: A Case Study of Two Villages in Hardoi District |journal=Economic and Political Weekly |date=1988 |volume=23 |issue=52/53 |pages=A181-7 |jstor=4394183 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4394183 |access-date=18 July 2021}}</ref> It is almost exclusively an agricultural village, with few non-agricultural employment opportunities.<ref name="Usar"/> It is characterised by a landownership pattern of very small, fragmented holdings.<ref name="Usar"/><br />
<br />
The [[1961 Census of India|1961 census]] recorded Sikandarpur as comprising three hamlets, with a total population of 1,057 (562 male and 495 female), in 214 households and 160 physical houses.<ref name="Census 1961">{{cite book |title=Census 1961: District Census Handbook, Uttar Pradesh (36 - Hardoi District) |date=1965 |location=Lucknow |pages=lxii-lxiii of section "Hardoi Tahsil" |url=http://lsi.gov.in:8081/jspui/bitstream/123456789/987/1/22855_1961_HAR.pdf |access-date=10 June 2021}}</ref> The area of the village was given as 774 [[acre]]s.<ref name="Census 1961"/><br />

Sikandarpur (specifically, the namesake hamlet within the village unit of Sikandarpur) was one of two pilot sites (the other being the hamlet of Kotpurva in the village of [[Alisabad]]) chosen for Phase I an [[usar]] (alkaline soil)-reclamation project that began in early 1986 and expanded to include sites in 12 districts for Phase II in 1987.<ref name="Usar"/> At that time, the hamlet had a population of 398, in 65 families.<ref name="Usar"/> Its extent was listed as 75 [[hectare]]s, 18.4% of which was counted as usar land and another 7% of which was waterlogged.<ref name="Usar"/> The result was that per capita availability of arable land was extremely low, and most farmers' lands were tiny and highly fragmented.<ref name="Usar"/> Agriculture in the hamlet was unmechanised, with no families owning a [[tractor]] and a significant portion not owning a [[plough]] and/or a pair of [[ox|bullock]]s.<ref name="Usar"/> As a result, farm productivity was low.<ref name="Usar"/> Most farmers interviewed said that they did not grow enough produce even for their own needs, and they could not afford to invest in agricultural technology.<ref name="Usar"/><br />
