Answer:

To understand our economy better, famous economists like Fisher and Colin Clark have divided our economy into mainly three sectors. They are

Primary Sector

Secondary Sector

Tertiary Sector

To understand it better, the Indian economy can be divided into Agricultural sector, Industrial sector, Services sector. agricultural sector includes the farming, fisheries, Livestock, Forestry and some more which includes the production of raw materials. Whereas the Industries include the manufacturing, gas, current supplies and construction activities. The predominant sector of Indian Economy is the services which includes the Trade business, IT sector, Hotels, broadcasting, Real Estate, Government services and many more which includes the service activities.

The GDP distribution across these sectors is around

15.11% in agriculture

31.12% in Industries

53.77% in Services

But the workforce distribution is around

48.9 % in agriculture

24.3 % in Industries

26.9 % in services

This clearly sums up the issue. The growth and the productivity from the primary sector is very low. Though India ranks second in the agricultural output after China, the production per hectare is very low.

The important aspects of primary sector are :

provides employment to around 50% of our population

primary sector has a large share in the Indian national Income

provides basic necessities of our life

provides raw materials to the secondary sector(Industries)

The best way to improve the revenue from the primary sector is by modernization of agricultural methods. Almost all the developed countries employ the modernized methods. But the main problem is in India, almost 82% of farmers belong to small and medium sized category i..e have less than 2 hectares of land. So, mainly for these category of farmers there should be a substantial support from the government to encourage the new methods.

We can employ some other methods like

There is big gap of around 3 million metric tons of cold storage infrastructure predominantly for fruits and vegetables. So, there is a urgent need for Infrastructure growth in the primary sector

The improper storage of the agricultural items lead to a huge wastage of food. If this can be properly managed, it can result in a substantial increase of revenue and production

The role of middle men should be decreased.
