II. Real estate and professional services contribute minimally to the service sector GSDP.
III. Transport and communication services have shown consistent growth due to improved infrastructure.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation
Sub-sectors like trade, hotels, and restaurants contribute significantly to Rajasthan’s economic output, fueled by a robust tourism industry. Similarly, transport and communication services have experienced steady growth due to significant infrastructure investments. However, real estate and professional services are also major contributors, meaning they do not have a minimal impact on the overall Gross State Domestic Product figures.
Q188. Which of the following sub-sectors is generally excluded when calculating the core service sector contribution to Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) in Rajasthan?

These services focus on providing intangible value and administrative support, which forms the core of the state’s service sector contribution.

Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The service sector has outpaced the agriculture and industry sectors in terms of GSDP contribution in Rajasthan.

Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The service sector has outpaced the agriculture and industry sectors in terms of GSDP contribution in Rajasthan.
Reason (R): Rajasthan possesses a highly diversified industrial base that entirely supports its service-oriented economy.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
Explanation
While the service sector has indeed outpaced agriculture and industry in its contribution to the state’s Gross State Domestic Product, the reason provided is inaccurate. Rajasthan’s economy is increasingly service-oriented, but its industrial base is not entirely diversified enough to be the sole support system. The service sector’s growth is driven by tourism, digital initiatives, and urban expansion.
Q190. Which of the following industries is considered the most significant and historically dominant driver of the service sector in Rajasthan?
Explanation
Tourism and hospitality have historically served as the most significant drivers of Rajasthan’s service sector due to the state’s rich cultural heritage and monuments. This industry creates extensive forward and backward linkages, supporting local handicrafts, transport, and regional employment. While information technology and retail are growing rapidly, the tourism sector remains the most iconic and dominant historical contributor.Answer key for these questions
