define outputstructure of indian eonomy in the eve of independence

At the time of Independence, Indian economy was mainly an agrarian economy. However, even while the area under cultivation was large, the productivity was low and the level of output was dismally low. In 1950-51, the primary sector accounted for approximately 51% of the GDP. Further, the industrial sector was also at an infant stage and there was hardly any capital goods or modern industries worth the name. Thus, the industrial sector made a negligible contribution to the total ouptput/GDP. In 1950-51, the contribution to GDP by this sector stood at approxiamtely 20%. Similar to this the service sector, in terms of health, education, power, transport, etc. remained inadequate. The service sector accounted for 29% of the GDP in 1950-51.
