Answer

In case of developed countries, the evolution of the economy happened in the most logical
pattern. Growth in the primary sector was followed by a growth in the secondary sector.
After that, the growth of the tertiary sector followed. The employment generation also kept
pace with related changes in different sectors.
The case of India is somewhat different. Both the Secondary and Tertiary sectors are
increasing at the expense of the Primary sector, but the increase in Tertiary sector is more.
The growth of the primary sector was not followed by the growth of the secondary sector,
rather it was the tertiary sector which took the lead. But employment generation in either
the secondary or tertiary sector could not keep pace. For India, to become a strong
industrialised nation, the Secondary sector should have increased more but this is not
happening due to a variety of reasons.
