Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy because :
(i) In India, about 63% people were engaged in agriculture
sector in 2001.
(ii) Share in GDP was
more than 40% in 1973.
(iii) Raw materials for secondary sectors are mostly
supplied by agriculture. But now, the share of agriculture is declining in the
GDP year by year. So, it is a matter of serious concern for all.
(iv) Share of
agriculture in the GDP has declined from 44% to 24% during 1973 to 2003.
(v) The primary sector continues to be the largest employer
even in 2000 but the production has not increased by this rate
