Solution
India's service sector employs two different types of people. This statement is completely correct. People in India are divided into two categories: highly skilled and educated workers and unskilled and uneducated workers. The service sector employs highly trained and educated personnel as it grows in conjunction with modernisation. Information technology has also created a demand for highly qualified individuals in the service sector. On the other hand, a huge number of people work in small businesses such as repair shops and transportation. These are unskilled, ignorant labourers. These people struggle to make a living and are engaged in these services because they have no other options.
