These primary, secondary and service sectors of the Indian economy are interdependent and collectively drive employment, GDP growth, and infrastructural development, making them essential for India’s inclusive and sustainable economic progress. India’s economy is moving from traditional industries to knowledge-driven sectors, driven by the accelerating pace of technological innovation and the expanding influence of globalization.
