Solution
Agricultural development is crucial for the overall development of the Indian economy because it is the source of livelihood to a large proportion of country’s population.
Explanation:
Around 43% of the labour force depends on agriculture for their livelihood. Despite the decline in its share of national income, agriculture remains the main source of employment and provides raw materials to key industries, supports food supply, and contributes significantly to foreign trade. This makes agriculture foundational to economic growth, employment, and industrial development in India.
