'''Uttar Pradesh Sodic Land Reclamation III Project''' ('''UPSLR IIIP''') is a [[land reclamation]] project in [[India]], designed to reclaim 1,30,000 ha [[Sodic soil|sodic lands]] in 28 sodic infested districts of the State of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. A pilot, to reclaim 5000 ha ravine land in two districts, [[Fatehpur district|Fatehpur]] and [[Kanpur Dehat]], is also envisaged in the project.<br />
<br />
A large number of the sodic lands holders are from the most deprived and poorest section of the community and lack basic amenities. The project is developed to bring a significant agriculture and socio-economic development in the project area. The project includes all the activities which are essential in a farming system approach for favorable changes in overall farm income.<br />
<br />
== Objectives ==<br />
The main objective is reversal of [[land degradation]] to achieve greater [[agricultural productivity]] by enhancement of [[soil fertility]] and improved provision of agricultural support services for farmers making a living on selected degraded agricultural land.<br />
<br />
Three key indicators of performance have been identified:<br />
increase in productivity of [[rice]] and [[wheat]],<br />
diversification in agriculture production, and<br />
increase in farm income.<br />
<br />
The expected results are:<br />
improved [[soil quality]],<br />
increased productivity, and<br />
higher cropping intensity.<br />
<br />
==Components==<br />
The project has five components, four are technical, and the last pertains to the management of the project:<br />
*On-Farm Development and Land Treatment<br />
*Improvement of Drainage Systems<br />
*Agriculture Support System<br />
*Institutional Strengthening for Improved Market Access<br />
*Project Management<br />
<br />
== District coverage ==<br />
29 districts have been selected for the project. [[Azamgarh]], [[Jaunpur district]], [[Ghazipur]], [[Sant Ravidas Nagar]], [[Pratapgarh district, Uttar Pradesh|Pratapgarh]], [[Sultanpur district]], [[Ambedkar Nagar district]], [[Barabanki district|Barabanki Lucknow]], [[Unnao]], [[Raebareli]], [[Hardoi]], [[Sitapur]], [[Fatehpur district]], [[Allahabad]], [[Amethi]], [[Kaushambi district]], [[Kanpur Nagar]], [[Kanpur Dehat]], [[Etawah]], [[Auraiya]], [[Kannauj]], [[Farrukhabad district|Farrukhabad Aligarh]], [[Bulandshahr district]], [[Firozabad]], [[Mainpuri]], [[Etah]] and [[Kanshiram Nagar]].<br />
