Detailed Solution

India is an agriculturally important country because there are major industries based on agricultural raw materials. The share of agriculture in providing livelihood and employment opportunities was more than 50 percent during 2010-11. The share of agriculture in GDP was upward-moving until 1951. But it started to decline after 1951. More than that, many major industries include industries like cotton, jute, silk, woolen textiles, sugar industry, paper industry, vegetable oil industry, etc. These industries depend on agricultural products for production, which includes even the basic needs of people. Thus, any decline happening in the sphere of agricultural production will have an impact on the decline of industrial production also.
