An Assessment of Complementarity Between Agriculture and Industrial Sector and Selection of Bimodal/ Unimodal Strategy Towards Enhancing the Role an Exploratory Analysis with Focus Group Method

Abstract

The complementary role of agriculture and the industrial sector in the development of the economy has been a topic of interest for policymakers, economists, and scholars worldwide.

This study employs a selection of the bi-modal and uni-modal strategies towards enhancing the role of agriculture in the Indian economy. To explore these strategies’ effectiveness, an exploratory analysis was conducted using the Focus Group Method. This method involved bringing together a group of experts, policymakers, and representatives from the agriculture and industrial sectors to discuss and deliberate on the different strategies. The study concludes that the uni-model strategy can enhance the complementary role of agriculture and the industrial sector in the Indian economy. Policymakers should consider implementing policies that promote the growth of both sectors simultaneously to achieve sustainable economic growth.
