Why, despite the implementation of green revolution, 65 per cent of our population continued to be engaged in the agriculture sector till 1990?
Answers
Answer:
☆☆The structural change in composition of GDP shows that India is on the path of sustained development. But the occupational structure pattern shows that India is still underdeveloped.
☆☆When nearly 60.8 per cent of the working force is engaged in agriculture where productivity is low and employment uncertain this would surely lead to low per capita income and widespread poverty for the rural masses which form about 72.2 per cent of India’s population.
☆☆It also means that excessive pressure of population on land would be a hindrance in the way of productivity improve¬ment in agriculture sector.

Answer:
During 1950s, the contribution of agriculture to the GDP was 59%; which decreased substantially to 35% by 1990. Contribution of other sectors in the GDP increased sharply during this period. But employment generation in secondary and tertiary sectors did not increase at the same pace. As a result, even after about four decades of the planned economy, contribution of agricultural sector in employment generation remained more or less same. 65% of the total population still continued to be engaged in agriculture till 1990.
