RAS question

What is the Livestock sub-sector's share in Agriculture GVA at current prices for 2024-25?

Correct answer: (B) 46.77%.

In Rajasthan's Agriculture and Allied Sector GVA at current prices for 2024-25, the livestock sub-sector accounted for 46.77%.

  1. (A)

    6.56%

  2. (B)

    46.77%

  3. (C)

    46.17%

  4. (D)

    0.51%

Explanation

Rajasthan's Economic Review 2024-25 places agriculture and allied sectors at 26.92% of the State's GSVA at current prices and then breaks that agriculture GVA into its sub-sectors. In Figure 4.2, livestock has the largest share at 46.77%, just above crops at 46.17%. The Review also states that livestock GVA in 2024-25 at current prices stood at Rs 1.98 lakh crore, higher than the crop sector, with milk as the major contributor to livestock income. So the question is testing the internal composition of agriculture GVA, not agriculture's overall share in the state economy.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) 6.56% is the share of forestry and logging in Agriculture and Allied Sector GVA, not livestock.
  • (C) 46.17% is the crop sector's share, which is slightly below livestock's 46.77% share.
  • (D) 0.51% is the fishing sub-sector's share, far smaller than the livestock share reported in the Review.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan economy's sectoral-GVA composition, especially the crop-livestock balance within agriculture and allied activities. It recurs in RAS because the Economic Review often supplies direct percentage-based questions from GSVA and sub-sector tables.
