hey vaishu!

Land degradation is a process in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by a combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land.

Activities causing land degradation:
1.Deforestation has caused degradation .
2.Over-grazing is causing land degradation in places like Gujarat, Rajasthan etc.
3.Over-irrigation is a major cause of land degradation which causes water logging leading to increase in salinity and alkalinity of the soil.
4.Industrial waste cause water and land pollution in many parts of India .


Presently, about 130 million hectare of land is reported under degraded land in India, in which about 28% of land belongs to forest and about 28% is water eroded area. Rest degraded land is because of over deposition of salinity and alkalinity. 

hope it helps u dear :)!
