Solution
About 17% of India’s national income is contributed by agriculture.
Explanation:
Its share has declined from 59% in 1950-51 to around 16% in recent years due to industrial and service sector growth, agriculture remains significant, as it employs about 43% of the labour force and supports food supply and raw materials for industries. This reflects India’s ongoing status as an agrarian economy despite diversification into other sectors.
