Which of the following best describes the structural shift observed in Chhattisgarh's economy over the past two decades regarding sectoral contributions to the Gross State Domestic Product?

A. A steady decline in primary sector dominance accompanied by expansion in the secondary and tertiary sectors✓ Correct Answer
B. An absolute contraction of the industrial sector with complete reliance on traditional handicraft exports
C. A sudden stagnation of the service sector due to geographic isolation and rugged terrain
D. An exclusive growth of the primary agricultural sector without any diversification into manufacturing

💡 Solution & Explanation

Chhattisgarh has experienced a gradual structural transformation where the relative share of agriculture and allied activities has moderated, while manufacturing, electricity generation, mining, and modern services have expanded their shares in the total state output. This reflects broader economic development patterns where resources shift toward higher value-adding sectors. The state government actively promotes industrial corridors to accelerate this diversification.
