RAS question

What is the contribution of Agriculture sector to GSVA at current prices in 2024-25?

Correct answer: (C) 26.92%.

In Rajasthan's 2024-25 Advance Estimates, the Agriculture sector contributes 26.92% to GSVA at current prices.

  1. (A)

    26.54%

  2. (B)

    45.92%

  3. (C)

    26.92%

  4. (D)

    28.39%

Explanation

The relevant distinction is current prices versus constant prices. Rajasthan's Economic Review 2024-25 lists sectoral contribution to GSVA separately for both measures. For 2024-25 at current prices, Agriculture is shown at 26.92%, while Industry is 27.16% and Services is 45.92%. Rajasthan's Economic Review 2024-25 also states that the Agriculture sector here includes crops, livestock, forestry and logging, and fishing. Therefore, 26.92% is Agriculture's GSVA share at current prices. The nearby 26.54% figure belongs to Agriculture at constant (2011-12) prices, so it is not the current-price figure.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) 26.54% is the Agriculture sector's GSVA contribution at constant (2011-12) prices, not at current prices.
  • (B) 45.92% is the Services sector's contribution to GSVA at current prices in 2024-25, not Agriculture's share.
  • (D) 28.39% is the Industry sector's contribution at constant (2011-12) prices, so it differs by both sector and price basis.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan economy estimates, especially how GSVA shares change by sector and by price basis. RAS repeatedly asks such figures because Economic Review tables are direct sources for prelims-ready state economy data.
