Explanation:

The ravines of Chambal valley are an example of badland topography. These ravines are formed due to gully erosion in loose unbound soils. The gullies formed by running water (mainly during flash floods in arid regions) gradually widen to give rise to ravines. Formation of these ravines makes the land unusable for any productive activity.
Recently Madhya Pradesh government was planning to level these ravines and convert them into farmlands.
