Consider the following pairs of current sectoral composition of Indian Economy - Economic Survey 2025-26: Sector | Feature 1. Primary Sector | Largest share in employment with lowest share in GDP. 2. Secondary Sector | Lowest share in employment with second largest contribution in GDP. 3. Tertiary Sector | Largest contribution in GDP. How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?

Primary sector

• Agriculture and allied activities continue to employ the largest proportion of the work force of the country, while their share in the gross value added is the smallest among the three sectors. Hence, pair 1 is correctly matched.

Secondary sector

• The industrial sector, comprising manufacturing, mining, electricity and construction, engages the smallest share of the workforce and contributes the second largest share to the gross value added. Hence, pair 2 is correctly matched.

Tertiary sector

• The services sector is the largest contributor to the gross value added of the Indian economy, contributing more than half of it, and has been the main driver of growth. Hence, pair 3 is correctly matched.
• This structural pattern, in which the share of the primary sector in output falls much faster than its share in employment, is a distinctive feature of the Indian economy.
