Question

Why is the largest share of Indian workers engaged in the agriculture sector?

Hint:

India's large agricultural workforce is due to agrarian dependency and limited industrial jobs.

Answer 1

A majority of the Indian population depends on agriculture for their livelihood due to India's agrarian economy. Despite industrial growth, agriculture remains the primary occupation for many due to the lack of sufficient industrialization in rural areas and limited access to alternative employment opportunities. The country's vast agricultural land and dependence on farming practices for food production further sustain this trend. Additionally, the lack of large-scale technological advancements in rural regions means most workers continue in the agricultural sector. Therefore, a large percentage of Indian workers are still engaged in agriculture.
