The contribution of agriculture sector to the GDP of India is around ___________ at current prices.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 20%
The share of agriculture (with forestry and fishing) in India’s gross value added at current prices was close to 20 per cent in 2020-21, as reported in the Economic Survey 2020-21. It rose from about 18 per cent the year before because agriculture kept growing in the pandemic year while industry and services shrank. About half of India’s workers still depend on this sector, though it produces only about a fifth of the national output.
