We know, India is an agrarian nation. A major section of our population lives in rural areas and is dependent on agriculture as their main livelihood. The developmental strategies in many countries, including India, have always aimed at reducing the proportion of people depending on agriculture.
In 1972 - 73, 74.3% of workforce was engaged in primary sector, which declined to 44.6% in 2017 - 18. It shows substantial shift from farm work to non-farm work. It may be due to greater number of job opportunities available in the other two sectors.
Secondary and service sectors are showing promising future for the Indian workforce as shares of these sectors have increased from 10.9% to 24.4% and from 14.8% to 31% respectively. It may be because of rapid industrialisation and improvement of infrastructural facilities.

Water Contamination : Life depends to a great extent on water. However, increase in population, waste disposal from factories etc., contaminate water.

Deforestation has many adverse effects such as soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, disruption of the climatic cycle, etc. Therefore to benefit a few thousand people, the future of millions should not be compromised upon. So not acceptable.
