In India, between 1950 and 1990, the proportion of GDP contributed by agriculture declined significantly but not the population depending on it (69.5% in 1950 to 64.9% by 1990). The agricultural output could have grown with much less people working in the sector. This is because the industrial sector and the service sector did not absorb the people working in the agricultural sector. Many economist call this an important failure of our policies followed during 1950-1990.
