Rajasthan Economy: Official Scope and Core Indicators

For CET Senior Secondary, this topic must stay inside the RSSB 2026 syllabus block for Economy of Rajasthan. The official scope is: role of industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, and mineral sector in the development of the state; economy of Rajasthan, features and issues; concepts of state income and budget; handicraft industry, unemployment, drought, and famine; welfare schemes and Acts in Rajasthan, development institutions, small-scale enterprises, financial institutions, and the role of Panchayati Raj institutions in rural development; MGNREGA and Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Aajeevika Mission - Gramin (VB-G RAM G). India-wide Five Year Plans, 1991 reforms and RBI monetary policy are not the center of this Senior Secondary topic.

Rajasthan's economy should be read through three broad sectors: agriculture and allied activities, industry, and services. The official Economic Review 2025-26 estimates current-price GSDP at ₹18.75 lakh crore in 2025-26, compared with ₹17.01 lakh crore in 2024-25. Per-capita income at current prices is estimated at ₹2,02,349 in 2025-26. These figures help in objective questions because they show both size and direction of growth.

The sectoral structure is equally important. In 2025-26, agriculture accounts for 25.74% of Rajasthan's GSVA, industry for 26.55%, and services for 47.71%. Agriculture includes crops, livestock, forestry and fishing. Industry includes mining, manufacturing, electricity, gas, water supply, utilities and construction. Services include trade, hotels, transport, communication, financial services, public administration and other services. For CET, link these numbers to Rajasthan's conditions: a large dry state, uneven irrigation, strong livestock base, mineral wealth, tourism, handicrafts, growing MSMEs and service-sector expansion.
