Three sectors viz agriculture, manufacturing and services sectors have shown “green shoots” of recovery as the government and the Reserve Bank of India took timely steps to contain the damage by coronavirus lockdown, the government said on Tuesday. “Early green shoots of economic revival have also emerged in May and June with real activity indicators like electricity and fuel consumption, inter and intra-state movement of goods, retail financial transactions witnessing pick up,” the statement by Ministry of Finance said, adding that both the government and RBI took prompt policy measures in both short term and long term to revive the economy at the earliest with minimal damage.
With expectations of healthy monsoon this time, agriculture is likely to flourish even further and the Ministry of Finance said that the sector will support the rebooting of the economy. A fairly large number of the country’s population is engaged in agricultural work and its growth has a very positive impact on the population it employs. The government also said that agriculture is a promising sector with the government’s recent reforms which will help in building efficient value chains and ensuring better returns for farmers.
