The share of agriculture in India's national income in 1950-51 was 51.9%

The national income of a country is used to know the economic growth of the country. The national income measures the income of a country contributed by various sectors such as primary, secondary, and service.

Agriculture is the primary sector of India's economy and contributes a huge percentage to its national income. This is because half of the population is engaged in the primary sector.

The share of agriculture in India's national income during 1950-52 was as follows:

  • Agriculture contributed 51.9% to the national income of India during the year 1950-51.
  • This means that half of the Indian population was engaged mainly in agriculture during this period.
  • The percentage of agricultural contribution to India's national income decreased roughly to 13.7% which is way too low compared to before.

Thus, the agricultural contribution to India's national income in 1950-51 was the highest of all.
