Question

Critically appraise the development of agriculture between 1950 and 1990

Answer 1

Explanation:

In India, between 1950 and 1990, the proportion GDP contributed by agriculture declined significantly but not the population depending on it (67.5% in 1950 to 64.9% by 1990). The agricultural output could have grown with much less people working in the sector.

Answer 2

Critically appraise the development of agriculture between 1950 and 1990

• In India, the share of agriculture in the GDP decreased dramatically between 1950 and 1990, but not the number of people who depended on it (67.5 per cent in 1950 to 64.9 per cent by 1990).

• The industrial sector's share of GDP increased throughout the course of the decade, rising from 11.8 percent in 1950–1951 to 24.6 percent in 1990–1991 A key development indicator is the growth in the industry's GDP share. It is admirable that the industrial sector has grown at a pace of 6% per year during this time.
• Another measure to advance equity in the agriculture sector was the land ceiling. This entails establishing the largest parcel of land that a single person may hold. Land ceilings were implemented in order to spread out the ownership of land.
