Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
India is a significant agricultural nation. Its population is primarily farmers, at two-thirds. The majority of the food we consume is produced through the primary industry of agriculture. It also generates raw materials for many industries, in addition to food grains. Although its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been declining since 1951, agriculture has been the foundation of the Indian economy. In 2010–11, the farm sector employed about 52% of the total labour force, making more than half of the Indian population dependent on agriculture for survival.
The correct statement is “Two-third of its population is engaged in agricultural activities”.
