\nBoth the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Statement I is true: India’s gross domestic savings rate declined from a peak of 36.8% of GDP in 2007-08 to 31.1% in 2015-16. This represents a significant decline.
\n– Statement II is true: The decline in the overall savings rate was largely driven by a fall in the savings of the household sector (both financial and physical) and the public sector (government and public enterprises) during this period.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– The household sector is the largest contributor to overall domestic savings in India. Public sector savings turned negative in some parts of this period, further contributing to the overall decline. Private corporate sector savings showed resilience but could not offset the decline in other sectors.
\n– Statement II correctly identifies the components whose decline led to the overall sharp decline in the savings rate mentioned in Statement I, thus acting as a correct explanation.
