What to Focus On

  • The economy at Independence was backward, traditional and stagnant.
  • Low per capita income and high poverty were major problems.
  • Most people depended on agriculture.

  • National income has grown steadily since 1951.
  • GDP growth accelerated in the later years.
  • India is the fifth largest economy in the world by GDP.

  • Per capita income is a better index than total national income.
  • Per capita income rose more than 9 times from 1950-51 to 2022-23.
  • Growth of per capita income improved after 2003-04.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If national income rises, the economy is automatically developed.

Indian economy became fully developed after 1951 because growth started.

The service sector is the largest employer in India, so it must also be the largest sector in the economy in every sense.
