Solution
No, I do not agree. The tertiary sector, commonly known as the service sector, is critical to India’s economic growth. It comprises services such as transportation, banking, education, health care, and communication. Over time, the tertiary sector’s contribution to India’s GDP has grown dramatically. It employs a large proportion of the population and promotes the growth of the primary and secondary sectors by providing necessary services.
