The productive and gainful economic activity in India is still linked very much to agriculture as the primary sector of the economy. |
The primary sector employs 22 percent of workers, the secondary sector 28 percent, and the tertiary sector 50 percent. |
There has been a perception in society that the primary sector is of less worth or value than the secondary sector. |
Much of the money at the moment is poured into the primary sector in health, leaving the secondary sector in dire straits. |
The decline in the primary sector was to an extent offset by the growth in production in the secondary sector. |
The share of the primary sector is negligible, and from 1996, a small disinvestment in the sector can even be observed. |
