    Study Notes

    Indian Economy Sectors

    • An economy is best understood by studying its components, or sectors
    • Sectoral classification is done based on several criteria
    • Three types of classifications are discussed: primary/secondary/tertiary, organized/unorganized, and public/private
    • Examples familiar to students and related to daily life should be emphasized
    • The changing roles of sectors should be highlighted by drawing attention to the rapid growth of the service sector
    • Students may need to be familiarised with fundamental concepts such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment
    • Activities can be grouped using criteria, and these groups are called sectors
    • Economic activities are interconnected
    • The government plays a role in providing essential services
    • The primary sector is involved in natural resource-based activities (agriculture, dairy, forestry)
    • The secondary sector involves transforming natural resources into manufactured goods
    • The tertiary sector provides services (transportation, communication, banking)

    Employment and Sectors

    • The primary sector employs a large number of people
    • The secondary sector has increased employment opportunities
    • The tertiary sector saw higher growth in employment
    • The number of workers in the organized sector, while growing, did not keep pace with the total production growth
    • Underemployment(hidden unemployment) occurs when individuals are ostensibly working, but not to their full potential
    • This is often seen in the agricultural sector
    • There is a need for further development within the secondary and tertiary sector to create more employment opportunities, which could address underemployment in the primary sector
    • The government can support the development of services or new industries to create additional employment opportunities in rural areas
    • Public sector activities benefit society and may not be profitable
    • Private sector activities focus on earning profits or making a return on investment
    • The Indian government plays an important role in providing services and infrastructural development
    • The government may provide financial help or loan to individuals or enterprises in need to help them succeed

    Economic Activities Classification

    • Activities in the economy can be classified based on who owns the assets and is responsible for delivering services.
    • Public sector: The government owns most of the assets and delivers services.
    • Private sector: Individuals or companies own the assets and deliver services (profits).
    • Public services are necessary for the society and often cost the government more than a return on investment
    • Private sector enterprises need support to function and produce profitable output
