Detailed Solution

The stated assertion is false.
Agriculture has been the backbone of the Indian Economy, even though its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) share has been dropping since 1951; the sector contributes over one-third of our GDP and helps us earn foreign cash for the country. According to the 2011 Census of India, 54.6 per cent of the entire workforce was engaged in agricultural and related sector activities, making agriculture the primary source of income for more than half of the Indian population. It supplies raw materials to the industry. The sector also feeds the country's massive population.
Thus the correct statement would be Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian Economy.
