New Delhi The Finance Ministry on Tuesday indicated signs of recovery in the agriculture, manufacturing and service sectors, saying the accelerated policy measures taken by the government and RBI have helped revive the economy with minimal losses. Describing the agriculture sector as the foundation of the Indian economy, the ministry said that this time the monsoon is expected to be normal and it will help to recover the economy.
The ministry said in a statement, “Although the agricultural sector does not have as large a contribution to GDP as the industry or service sector, its growth will have a positive impact on the economy due to the large population dependent on this sector. The recently announced reforms for this sector will go a long way in building efficient value chains and ensuring better returns for farmers.
