RAS question

What was milk's share in Rajasthan's livestock Gross Value Output at current prices in 2024-25?

Correct answer: (B) 80.17%.

Milk accounted for 80.17% of Rajasthan's livestock Gross Value Output at current prices in 2024-25.

  1. (A)

    70%

  2. (B)

    80.17%

  3. (C)

    90%

  4. (D)

    60%

Explanation

In Rajasthan's Economic Review 2024-25, Figure 4.5 gives the percentage share of livestock products in Gross Value Output at current prices for 2024-25. Milk stands at 80.17%, far ahead of the other listed livestock products. Milk is therefore the major contributor to income from the livestock sector. Livestock GVA at current prices stood at ₹1.98 lakh crore in 2024-25, higher than the crop sector, which explains why this share is important in Rajasthan economy questions.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) 70% understates the figure shown for milk in Figure 4.5, which is 80.17%.
  • (C) 90% overstates milk's share; the official figure for 2024-25 is 80.17%.
  • (D) 60% is well below the official 80.17% share reported for milk in livestock GVO.

Concept

This tests the Rajasthan economy syllabus area on agriculture and allied sectors, especially livestock output. It recurs in RAS because milk is identified as the major contributor within the livestock sector.
