Abstract
Using primary level data, this article describes economic, environmental, social and institutional sustainability, which affects the livelihood of people depending on sodic agricultural lands in Uttar Pradesh. Though some of positive impacts such as increase in productivity of various crops, consumption of both food and non-food items was observed in reclaimed areas, yet reversal of sodic reclamation with high pH, poor Organic Carbon Percentage (OCP), unsustainability in increase in productivity over years, substantial poverty among marginal and small landholders and inequality in income, poor knowledge on reclamation and maintenance of the sodic soil are some of the major observations. Therefore, sustainability of livelihood of the people living in the sodic affected regions has become a great challenge for the future.
