Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Shubham works for Ministry of External Affairs and was given a chance to visit China for work purpose. In China, he noticed that people didn’t even have basic rights like freedom to speak and had no right over the production activities they performed. He was disappointed with their state and came home happily realizing that in India everyone can exercise their rights without any bondage from the government or any other entity. But the question which came in his mind was that if India has such an efficient economic system then why we still face such a huge level of unemployment. He went to his friend Rajan who worked for Planning Commission of India. He asked Ranjan, "What do you think is the solution to the problem of unemployment?" to which Ranjan replied, "Strengthening the Manufacturing sector will lead to reduction in unemployment."
What do you think is the reason for unemployment in India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The major reason for sustained unemployment in the country is the hampered development process that took place. Indian manufacturing sector has not been developed properly. The contribution of agriculture sector has been substituted by service sector. Although, for a proper development of the country the pattern which it must follow should be development of agriculture sector then development of manufacturing sector and eventually service sector. India has missed the phase where manufacturing sector should have been developed.
