The bar chart illustrates the contributions of three sectors—agriculture, industry, and services—to India’s GDP over a 40-year span from 1960 to 2000.
Overall, agriculture's share declined steadily, whereas services experienced significant growth. Meanwhile, the industry sector saw an initial increase before stabilizing in the final three decades.
In 1960, agriculture accounted for just over 60% of GDP, making it the dominant sector. However, its proportion gradually declined throughout the period, reaching a low of around 13% by 2000. Conversely, services followed the opposite trend, starting at just above 15% in the initial year before rising sharply to become the leading contributor, peaking at over 60% by the end of the period studied.
Turning to industry, its contribution stood at around 15% in 1960, similar to that of services. It rose noticeably over the next two decades, reaching about 25% in 1980, but unlike services, it stayed relatively stable for the remainder of the period.
