Detailed explanation-1: -The primary sector was the largest producing sector in 1973 because the primary sector had a 45% share in GDP because the majority of the population was involved in agriculture due to lack of economic development. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-2: -While the share of agriculture and allied activities in GDP has declined from 40 per cent in 1973-74 to less than 14 per cent in 2013-14, that of the services sector has risen to about 60 per cent through the same period.
