Question
Write about agriculture and mining in India with context to the economy of India.
Solution
Agriculture is the most common occupation in India, employing approximately 70% of the population and covering approximately 60% of the land area. The northern region of the country is rich and fertile, making it ideal for agriculture, and it is well irrigated. The majority of crops are grown for local consumption, but a few are also grown for export. Agriculture is India's most important economic contributor. Mining occurs primarily in India's peninsular region, with the Chhota Nagpur Plateau being particularly mineral-rich. Digboi, along with Kalol and Koyali in Gujarat, and Mumbai High on Mumbai's west coast, provide oil reserves. These have also helped the Indian economy to some extent.
