'Gross Domestic Product, is a good indicator of economic growth of a country'. Comment.

Solution

A steady increase in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is considered a good indicator of economic growth. The gross domestic product is the market value of all the goods and services produced in the country during a year. If the value of GDP is more, it will be divided among large number of people. It is necessary to produce more goods and services if the people of India are to enjoy a more rich and varied life.
The GDP of a country is derived from the different sectors of the economy, namely the agricultural sector, the industrial sector and the service sector. The contribution made by each of these sectors makes up the structural composition of the economy.
