● Statement 1 is Incorrect: The primary sector in India (agriculture and mining sectors) contributes around 16 per cent of Gross Value Added (GVA) while it employs around 43 per cent of the workforce (as per PLFS, 2018-19). This indicates the huge potential to provide gainful employment opportunities for people employed in these sectors. ● Statement 2 is Incorrect: Industry and Services are estimated to contract by 9.6 per cent and 8.8 per cent during the year.
