Why is the tertiary sector becoming so important in India ? there could
be several reasons. First, in any country several services such as
hospitals, educational institutions ,post and telegraphic services, police
stations, courts, village administrative offices ,municipal corporations,
defence, transport, banks, insurance companies etc are required .These
can be considered as basic services. In a developing country the
government has to take responsibility for the provision of these
services. Second ,the development of agriculture and industry leads to
the development of services such as transport, trade ,storage and the
like as we have already seen. Greater the development of the primary
and secondary sectors ,more would be the demand for such services.
Third ,as income levels rise, certain sections of people start demanding
many more services like eating out, tourism ,shopping ,private hospitals,
private school, professional training etc. You can see this change quite
sharply in cities ,especially in big cities.
