    Indian economy is presently driven by three areas. Agriculture, Manufacturing and service sector. The service sector predominantly is based on information and communication technology (ICT). ICT leading to the generation of knowledge products. Knowledge products in turn enrich the manufacturing areas and also the agriculture. Today in India 70% of the people are engaged in agriculture. With the injection of technology and training I expect by 2012 only 50% of the people will be involved in agriculture and the remaining 50% will be in manufacturing and services sectors.
