Question

Why, despite the implementation of the green revolution, did 65 percent of our population continue to be engaged in the agriculture sector till 1990?

विकल्प

• India failed to achieve structural transformation associated with the agricultural revolution and development.

• Industrial and service sector failed to generate significant employment opportunities in order to attract and absorb excess agricultural labour.

• The agricultural contribution to GDP has fallen from 51% in1960-61 to 44% in 1970-71

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

India's agricultural revolution and growth failed to bring about fundamental change. To put it another way, the industrial and service sectors failed to create enough jobs to attract and absorb surplus agricultural labour. The proportion of agriculture to GDP fell from 51% in 1960-61 to 44% in 1970-71, while the percentage of industry and service sector in India's GDP climbed only from 19% to 23% and 30% to 33% during the same period. Meanwhile, the percentage of people who rely on agriculture has barely changed since 1950, falling from 67.50 percent to 64.9 percent (in 1990). As a result, growth in the industrial and service sectors was insignificant, and the agricultural sector was unable to hire and attract surplus labour. It's possible that this is due to the fact.
