Map of Sikandarpur Sarausi CD block

Sikandarpur Sarausi is a community development block in Unnao tehsil of Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh, India.[1] It consists of 96 rural villages, with a total population of 185,779 people.[1]

Historically, there was a pargana of Sarosi, which was created during the reign of Akbar in the 1500s.[2] The pargana was later renamed Sikandarpur after another one of its main villages; C.A. Elliott wrote in 1862 that the name change had "recently become habitual" then.[2]

The present block was inaugurated on 1 October 1961 in order to oversee implementation of India's Five-Year Plans at a local and rural level.[3] It was one of two blocks in the district (the other being Safipur) that was selected for implementation of the applied nutrition programme.[3] Sikandarpur, the old pargana's namesake, was chosen as the block headquarters.[3]
