Explanation:
The correct answer is A: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation of Assertion (A):
The share of agriculture in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is declining in India. This can be attributed to several reasons, including:
1. Non-irrigated land: A significant portion of agricultural land in India is rain-fed, leading to a higher dependency on monsoons for irrigation. This makes agriculture vulnerable to droughts and crop failures.
2. Increasing debts: Many farmers in India face a high level of indebtedness due to factors such as low crop prices, lack of access to credit, and high input costs. This financial burden reduces the profitability of agriculture and discourages investment in the sector.
3. Seasonal employment: Agriculture in India is largely characterized by seasonal employment, with a majority of farmers engaged in subsistence farming. This means that agricultural activities are limited to specific seasons, leading to income instability and lower overall productivity.
Explanation of Reason (R):
The problems of non-irrigated land, increasing debts, and seasonal employment are contributing factors to the declining share of agriculture in India's GDP. These problems directly impact the productivity and profitability of the agricultural sector, making it less attractive for investment and leading to a shift towards other sectors of the economy.
Therefore, it can be concluded that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
