In Punjab, future of paddy and wheat no more green [1]

Primary sector's contribution to GSDP is declining, that of secondary & tertiary increasing

Punjab—the pioneer of Green Revolution—is facing stagnancy in agricultural growth. According to an economic survey, the share of primary sector in the gross state domestic product (GSDP) is constantly decreasing in the state while that of secondary as well as tertiary sector is increasing. Survey shows the growth in primary sector has been tardy, due to near saturation in production of wheat and paddy in the absence of technological break through.
