| | The Hindu : Changing pattern of GDP growth |
 | | The inter-decadal growth of the services sector's share of the GDP has been marked by a simultaneous fall in the primary sector's contribution (agriculture, forestry and fishing) and a smaller rise in contribution from the secondary sector (mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water supply and construction). |
 | | Under the secondary (industry) sector, manufacturing was the single-largest contributor (17.49) followed by construction (5.17), electricity, gas and water supply (2.52) and mining and quarrying (2.20). |
 | | Rather than arising from the growth of the primary (agriculture) and secondary (industry) sectors, the growth in the Indian services sector is seen as one which has been on account of rising government expenditure, Dr. Nagaraj said, adding that "phenomenal increase" in government spending, for instance, is cause for concern. |
