Share in economy

If Bharat's doing well hasn't prevented the worst economic slump since independence, the reason is simple. In 1979-80, agriculture's share in India's GDP at constant prices was 33.9%; in 1957-58, it was 48.2%.

It is different today. That is estimated to go up to 16.3% this fiscal, but not enough to make a difference even in a bountiful monsoon year.
