The correct answer is: c) Agriculture and allied activities
Agriculture is the primary sector of Arunachal Pradesh’s economy. It employs about 70% of the state’s population and contributes about 30% of the state’s GDP. The main crops grown in Arunachal Pradesh are rice, maize, wheat, millet, and pulses. The state also has a significant livestock population, including cattle, buffalo, pigs, goats, and sheep.
The state government has been promoting agriculture in recent years by providing subsidies for inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. The government has also been investing in irrigation projects and agricultural research. These efforts have helped to increase agricultural production and productivity in the state.
However, agriculture in Arunachal Pradesh faces a number of challenges, including poor infrastructure, lack of access to markets, and climate change. The state government is working to address these challenges by investing in infrastructure, improving access to markets, and promoting climate-resilient agriculture.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Heavy industries are not a major part of Arunachal Pradesh’s economy.
- Financial services are a small part of Arunachal Pradesh’s economy.
- Technology and innovation are not a major part of Arunachal Pradesh’s economy.
