what steps can be taken to control soil erosion in the hilly areas?
Steps taken to control soil erosion in hilly regions are:

Terrace farming: Making terrace or steps along a slope of mountains is called terrace farming. Terrace cultivation restricts erosion and have been well developed in western and central Himalayas.

Contour Farming: Ploughing horizontally along the contour lines can decelerate the flow of water down the slope and helps in minimizing soil erosion.
