  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Which one of the following is correct? Over the years the _________.
    Solution
    In India, percentage of population employed in Agriculture has decreased from period of independence to the current date since with the rise in demand for goods and services produced by secondary and tertiary sector, workforce of primary sector starts decreasing and as a result, the GDP from agricultural sector also gets reduced from the period of Independence to the current date.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Workers in the _________ sector do not produce goods.
    Solution
    After primary and secondary, there is a third category of activities that falls under tertiary sector and is different from the first two. These are activities that help in the development of the primary and secondary sectors. These activities, by themselves, do not produce a good but they are an aid or a support for the production process. For example, goods that are produced in the primary or secondary sector would need to be transported by trucks or trains and then sold in wholesale and retail shops. At times ,it may be necessary to store these in godowns. We also may need to talk to others over telephone or send letters(communication) or borrow money from banks (banking) to help production and trade. Transport, storage, communication, banking, trade are some examples of tertiary activities. Since these activities generate services rather than goods, the tertiary sector is also called the service sector.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Most of the workers in the _________ sector enjoy job security.
    Solution
    Organised sector covers those enterprises or places of work where the terms of employment are regular and therefore, people have assured work. They are registered by the government and have to follow its rules and regulations which are given in various laws such as the Factories Act, Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Shops and Establishments Act etc. It is called organised because it has some formal processes and procedures. Some of these people may not be employed by anyone but may work on their own but they too have to register themselves with the government and follow the rules and regulations.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    The ________ covers activities in which natural products are changed into other forms throughways of manufacturing that we associate with industrial activity.
    Solution
    The secondary sector covers activities in which natural products are changed into other forms throughways of manufacturing that we     associate with industrial activity. It is the next step after primary. The product is not produced by nature but has to be made and therefore some process of manufacturing is essential. This could be in a factory, a workshop or at home.
  • Question 5

    When we produce a good by exploiting natural resources, it is an activity of the
    Solution
    When we produce a good by exploiting natural resources, it is an activity of the primary sector. Why primary? This is because it forms the base for all other products that we subsequently make. Since most of the natural products we get are from agriculture, dairy, fishing, forestry, this sector is also called agriculture and related sector.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Which sector is also called agricultural related sector?
    Solution
    When we produce a good by exploiting natural resources, it is an activity of the primary sector. Why primary? This is because it forms the base for all other products that we subsequently make. Since most of the natural products we get are from agriculture, dairy, fishing, forestry, this sector is also called agriculture and related sector.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Solution
    The largest proportion of work force in India is engaged in the primary sector. This sector employs 50-60% of the population. Primary sector consists of agriculture. It is also known as raw material sector. Agriculture, crop production, animal husbandry, fisheries and mining- all are included in primary sector.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Underemployment occurs when people
    Solution
    Even though industrial output or the production of goods went up by more than nine times during the period, employment in the industry went up by around three times. The same applies to the tertiary sector as well. While production in the service sector rose by 14 times, employment in the service sector rose around five times. As a result, more than half of the workers in the country are working in the primary sector, mainly in agriculture, producing only about one sixth of the GDP. In contrast to this, the secondary and tertiary sectors produce the rest of the produce whereas they employ less about half the people. Does this mean that the workers in agriculture are not producing as much as they could? What it means is that there are more people in agriculture than is necessary. So, even if you move a few people out, production will not be affected. In other words, workers in the agricultural sector are underemployed.
  • Question 9

    Solution

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    How many days of work is guaranteed  under MNREGA?
    Solution
    The central government in India made a law implementing the Right to Work in about 625 districts of India. It is called Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act2005 (MGNREGA 2005).
     Under MGNREGA 2005, all those who are able to, and are in need of, work in rural areas are guaranteed 100 days of employment in a year by the government.
    If the government fails in its duty to provide employment, it will give unemployment allowances to the people. The types of work that would in future help to increase the production from land will be given preference under the Act.
