Industrialized
Agrarian-based
Service-oriented
Technology-driven
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: b) Agrarian-based.
Meghalaya’s economy is primarily characterized as agrarian-based. This means that the majority of the population is employed in agriculture, and agriculture is the main source of income for the state. The main crops grown in Meghalaya are rice, maize, and potatoes. The state also has a significant livestock population, including cattle, pigs, and poultry.
The agrarian-based economy of Meghalaya is facing a number of challenges, including low productivity, deforestation, and soil erosion. The state government is working to address these challenges by promoting sustainable agriculture practices, such as organic farming and agroforestry.
The other options are incorrect because:
- a) Industrialized: Meghalaya is not a highly industrialized state. The manufacturing sector accounts for a small share of the state’s economy.
- c) Service-oriented: The service sector is growing in Meghalaya, but it is still not as developed as the agricultural sector.
- d) Technology-driven: Meghalaya is not a technology-driven state. The technology sector is not as developed as the agricultural sector.
