Jain said the team also held a meeting with local officials to know about plants and land in the area. "The SDCL officials informed that a similar project of developing hybrid and improved seeds is being run in ravines near Rajasthan's Kota city" he said. The land for the project is being searched near the Chambal river. The ravines in Chambal once ill-famous for dacoit gangs are the pieces of rugged land which is not arable. The meeting was convened to discuss the conversion of a large area of ravines in the Gwalior-Chambal belt into arable land.

Jain said the team also held a meeting with local officials to know about plants and land in the area. "The SDCL officials informed that a similar project of developing hybrid and improved seeds is being run in ravines near Rajasthans Kota city" he said. According to officials an estimated 20000 hectares of land will be needed for the proposed project. The land for the project is being searched near the Chambal river. The ravines in Chambal once ill-famous for dacoit gangs are the pieces of rugged land which is not arable. In July last year Morena MP and Union Minister for Agriculture Narendra Singh Tomar had said that more than 3 lakh hectares of rugged land is not cultivable and if this area is improved it will help in the integrated development of the Bihad area (ravines) in Gwalior and Chambal regions. The meeting was convened to discuss the conversion of a large area of ravines in the Gwalior-Chambal belt into arable land.
