                              1. Provide seeds, fertilizers, pesticides motors to the farmers with the subsidy.<\/li>\n
                              2. The government should see that the people who are engaged in Industrial and Service sectors more than required are shifted to the agricultural sector so that the share of the agricultural sector in GDP increases.<\/li>\n
                              3. The government should implement welfare schemes so that the agricultural sector flourishes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

The service sector in India employs many different kinds of people. At one end there are a limited number of services that employ highly skilled and educated workers. At the other end, there are a very large number of workers engaged in services such as small shopkeepers, repair persons, transport persons, etc. These people barely manage to earn a living and yet they perform these services because no alternative opportunities for work are available to them.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In developing countries many people depend upon agriculture sector whereas In developed countries it is the industrial sector which gives more work but recently we observe the trend that many people are shifting from industrial sector to service sector for their livelihoods.<\/li>\n

The sectors of economy are analysed In data form. The share of GDP from agriculture is very less and it has been reducing year by year. Industries are slightly decreasing from 2013. it is 29% only in 2012. But service sector is gradually increasing.
                                                                                      \nMany people nowadays are interested in working with service sector as they feel that it is white collar job. Nobody Is interested in agriculture. No farmer is interested to make his son a farmer because in agriculture more distress is seen. Irregular rainfall, low prices (MSP), shortage of seeds, pesticides problem, fertiliser problem and so many problems, the agriculture sector is facing. In Industries also work conditions are not supportive. Agriculture is technologically up\u00acgraded. Agriculture labourers are shifting to service, industrial sectors. Though 92% of workers are there In unorganised sector, they are contributing about 50% in GDP, Government should support the farmers and agriculture should be made a benefitable one.<\/p>\n

At one end there are a limited number of services that employ highly skilled and educated workers. At the other end, there are a very large number of workers engaged in services such as small shopkeepers,repair persons, transport persons, etc. These people barely manage to earn a living and yet they perform these services because no alternative opportunities for work are available to them. Hence, only a part of this sector Is growing in Importance.<\/em>

But there are many items that are not sold\/ purchased in the market. One important example is the work that is done at home like cooking, cleaning, organizing, bringing up children, tending to plants and cattle, etc. In most instances, these do not involve any monetary transaction and therefore remain outside the GDP measure, though they are extremely important for the economy. Also, the unpaid work is done mostly by women even today, in India and across the globe.<\/em>

                                                                                          \nRead the following paragraph and write whether you agree with this or not.

                                                                                          \nSo, even if few people move out, production will not be affected. In other words, workers in agricultural sector are underemployed.<\/em>
                                                                                          \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                                                                                          2. Partial employment is there. It means many people depend on agriculture but they are not fully employed.<\/li>\n
                                                                                          3. If some of them move to another sector it will not affect the production.<\/li>\n
                                                                                          4. In other words, it is called disguised unemployment. There are so many farmers like Gayathri owning about 2 or less acres of land.<\/li>\n
                                                                                          5. All the five members are working in the same fields though they don’t have sufficient work.<\/li>\n
                                                                                          6. My suggestion is that the government should collect data of this situation throughout the state and prepare plans to provide work by implementing programmes like MGNREGA, Watershed Development Program, Water Conservation Movement (Neeti Samrakshana Udyamam), and other activities.<\/li>\n
                                                                                          7. Thus the people are engaged in some useful work and so they get sufficient work and improve their living conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

This means that even if several people from agricultural sector are provided with proper work elsewhere, agricultural production will not suffer. The incomes of the people who take up other work would increase the total family income.<\/em>

                                                                                            3. Lakhs of families in India are small families having less than two acres of cultivable land.<\/li>\n
                                                                                            4. All the family members depend on the small piece of land.<\/li>\n
                                                                                            5. They get less work and they don’t work up to their potentials.<\/li>\n

                                                                                            7. According to my opinion the government should identify these people and plan to design various schemes to be implemented.<\/li>\n
                                                                                            8. In villages many people have no sufficient work. Many developmental works are needed for villages and towns.<\/li>\n
