Agriculture employs more than 70% of the population. Over half of the country's workforce is employed in this industry, making it the biggest private sector job by far. The Indian government places a high priority on agriculture's success because of its role in the country's food security and employment. In 1950-51, agriculture's contribution to GDP was 55.4 percent; in 1960-61, it was 52 percent; and in 2012-13, it is just 13.7 percent. In addition, small and marginal farmers with relatively modest landholdings dominate Indian agriculture. Farming is the primary occupation of the vast majority of the population. Small and home-based businesses that rely on agriculture for raw materials and food are supported by this industry.EnglishThesis
